Claim 36:
37. A profiling system arranged to be used in cooperation with a vehicle, the profiling system including one or more data collection sensor(s) and one or more processors, the one or more sensor(s) and the one or more processors cooperatively configured to:
generate inertial profile data of a road surface traveled by or adjacent to the vehicle;
generate a surface elevation profile of the road surface from an instrument that measures three-dimensional surface elevations of the road surface;
generate running slope profile data from the surface elevation profile; and
generate a valid profile of the road surface traveled by or adjacent to the vehicle by using the one or more processors for blending short wavelength inertial profile data components obtained from filtering the inertial profile data to remove long wavelength inertial profile data components and long wavelength running slope profile data components obtained from filtering the running slope profile data to remove short wavelength running slope profile data components,
wherein the short wavelength inertial profile data components are shorter than the long wavelength inertial profile data components and the long wavelength running slope profile data components are longer than the short wavelength running slope profile data components.
