Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure relates to a method for determining orientation of a vehicle relative to a surface having defined geometric data that represents a curvature of the surface. The method comprises the steps of measuring an angle of rotation about a hinge joint that is part of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle is configured to travel along the surface; determining the orientation of the vehicle relative to the surface based on vehicle geometric data, the surface geometric data and the measured angle of rotation using a processor located on board the vehicle; and controlling operation of the vehicle in view of the determined orientation using the processor. Further, a method for determining a diameter of a curved structure over which a vehicle travels and a system for determining orientation of a vehicle relative to a surface having defined geometric data that represents a curvature of the surface are provided.
