Claim 14:
15. The method of claim 14, wherein the evaluating step includes:
determining the obstacle clearance expectation as a first obstacle clearance expectation when the vehicle trajectory is such that the undercarriage assembly is projected to pass over the identified obstacle without contacting the identified obstacle; and
determining the obstacle clearance expectation as a second obstacle clearance expectation when the projected path, the height of the identified obstacle, and the undercarriage geometry data are such that the undercarriage assembly is projected to contact the identified obstacle and when the height of the identified obstacle and the undercarriage geometry data are such that an adjusted vehicle trajectory with an adjusted projected path enables intersection of the work vehicle with the identified obstacle at one of the locations of greater spacing of the undercarriage assembly with clearance sufficient to pass over the identified obstacle without contact.
