TLDR
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

Two-wheeler airbag system
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an airbag apparatus for a two-wheeler vehicle, which includes at least one front airbag mounted near each leg of a rider of the two-wheeled vehicle, the at least front airbags to be deployed and inflated for protecting the knees, legs and feet of the rider during emergency conditions.
Patent
Vehicle stability apparatus and method
TL;DR: In this paper, an inertial measurement unit (IMU) is used to estimate the effective tyre rolling radius of the associated vehicle, which can be used to determine load transfer per axle, which in turn can be translated into an estimate of center of gravity height.
