   Abstract : Characterized by a high ratio between the height of center of gravity and the track-width, commercial vehicle dynamics differ from passenger car dynamics. The roll stability limit, measured in terms of lateral acceleration, is much lower, while longitudinal and lateral load transfer during braking and cornering reduce the yaw stability, resulting in roll motion.

3. 2. Untripped SUV Rollover Detection and Prevention

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

   Author : Björn Johansson; [2004]
   Keywords : Rollover; sport utility vehicle; vehicle dynamics; control allocation; convex optimization; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Untripped SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) rollovers are dangerous and possibly lethal accidents. This thesis address some issues in the detection and prevention of untripped SUV rollovers. Before a rollover can occur, the wheels on one side must lose road contact. The wheel lift-off situation is chosen as the critical situation to be avoided. READ MORE
