Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A crest detection system (10, 19, 185C) for a vehicle (100), the system comprising a processing means (10, 19) arranged to receive, from terrain data capture means (185C) arranged to capture data in respect of terrain ahead of the vehicle by means of one or more sensors, terrain information indicative of the topography of an area extending ahead of the vehicle (100), wherein the processing means (10, 19) is configured to, in dependence upon a predicted path of the vehicle (100) over said terrain extending ahead of the vehicle (100), determine that a crest exists in the predicted path in dependence at least in part on the detection of a discontinuity in terrain along the predicted path ahead of the vehicle (100) based on the terrain information, and information in respect of slope of terrain before the discontinuity.
