Abstract
The ability of ground vehicles to quickly and accurately analyse their dynamic response to a given input is critical to their safety and efficient autonomous operation. In field conditions, significant uncertainty is associated with terrain and/or vehicle parameter estimates, and this uncertainty must be considered in the analysis of vehicle motion dynamics. Here, polynomial chaos approaches that explicitly consider parametric uncertainty during modelling of vehicle dynamics are presented. They are shown to be computationally more efficient than the standard Monte Carlo scheme, and experimental results compared with the simulation results performed on ANVEL (a vehicle simulator) indicate that the method can be utilised for efficient and accurate prediction of vehicle motion in realistic scenarios.

A new uncertain analysis method and its application in vehicle dynamics

TL;DR: In this article, the Polynomial-Chaos-Chebyshev-Interval (PCCI) method is proposed for vehicle dynamics involving hybrid uncertainty parameters. But the PCCI method is non-intrusive, because it does not require the amendment of the original solver for different and complicated dynamics problems.

A PCM-based stochastic hydrological model for uncertainty quantification in watershed systems

TL;DR: In this paper, an uncertainty quantification framework is proposed for hydrologic models based on probabilistic collocation method (PCM), which first uses polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) to approximate the hydrological outputs in terms of a set of standard Gaussian random variables, and then estimates the unknown coefficients in the PCE through collocation.
