1. A computer comprising a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
receive a first time series of positions of a vehicle sensor mounted on a vehicle from at least one calibration sensor spaced from the vehicle, measured while vibrations are applied to the vehicle;
receive a second time series of motion of the vehicle sensor based on data from the vehicle sensor measured while the vibrations are applied to the vehicle;
fuse the first and second time series; and
determine at least one calibration value for an adjustment model based on the fusion of the first and second time series, the adjustment model being a model of motion of the vehicle sensor relative to the vehicle resulting from motion of the vehicle.
