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

Method for reducing the risk of rollover of an automotive vehicle provided with a controllable suspension system
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method comprising of a first step of calculating, on the basis of a plurality of signals delivered by sensors (28, 29) of the controllable suspension system, a measured quantity (TCm) as an active value (TC) of a load transfer; a second step calculating an estimated quantity (Tcm) on basis of kinematic sensors (50-58) placed on-board the vehicle and a dynamic model of the vehicle, said estimated quantity being taken as the active value of the load transfer when the measured quantity
