System for mitigating vehicle rollover by steering in rollover direction

摘要

A system and a method for mitigating vehicle rollovers, the method comprises monitoring a vehicular tilt 304 and sensing a vehicular rollover 306 in a particular direction, through a tilt sensor. Further, the system determines an occurrence of a rollover according to a calculated tilt threshold, through a central processing unit. Steering the vehicle in the sensed direction of the rollover 308, accelerating the vehicle in the same direction 310, and braking the vehicle upon sensing a decrease in the rollover 312, all being controlled through a controller, enables the vehicle to eventually stabilize and return to track. Preferably a severity value of the rollover is established according to a vehicular velocity sensed before the vehicle crosses a tilt threshold.
