In this article, a system uses multiple tilt sensors mounted to the vehicle frame and the vehicle suspension system to detect lateral acceleration and lateral load transfer, and a display coupled to the system provides the vehicle operator with a read out of the load transfer ratio and effective center of gravity height.Abstract:
A system uses multiple tilt sensors mounted to the vehicle frame and the vehicle suspension system to detect lateral acceleration and lateral load transfer. The system uses these measurements to determine a lateral load transfer ratio indicative of an actual roll moment compared to a maximum roll moment. The measurements from the tilt sensors are also used to calculate an effective center of gravity height. A display coupled to the system provides the vehicle operator with a read out of the load transfer ratio and effective center of gravity height. The display enables the vehicle operator to more completely understand the nature of the vehicle load and thereby allow the vehicle operator to avoid conditions likely to lead to a vehicle rollover accident.read more

Patent
Method and control device for warning a vehicle driver of a risk of the vehicle overturning
Rainer Risse,Axel Stender +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a control device detects the current transverse acceleration of the vehicle and emits a warning signal based thereon when a risk of overturning is presented, and the warning signal is dependent upon at least one transversal acceleration value, which is critical for overturning, detected by the control device while the vehicle is being driven, and a measurement of the transverse accelerations at which the vehicle would actually overturn about its longitudinal axis.
