SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREDICTING VEHICLE ROLLOVER USING POSITION TRACKING
First Claim
1. A method of predicting vehicle rollover, comprising the steps of;
- determining a center of gravity of a vehicle;
determining an actual lateral acceleration of the vehicle;
determining a maximum lateral acceleration of the vehicle; and
determining if the actual lateral acceleration is more than a predefined percentage of the maximum lateral acceleration.

Abstract
A method of predicting vehicle rollover is provided to assist in preventing vehicle rollover. The method contains the steps of: determining a center of gravity of a vehicle; determining an actual lateral acceleration of the vehicle; determining a maximum lateral acceleration of the vehicle; and determining if the actual lateral acceleration is more than a predefined percentage of the maximum lateral acceleration. When the actual lateral acceleration is more than the predefined percentage of the maximum lateral acceleration, a warning is issued to the driver such that preventative measures can be taken to avoid a rollover.
