Method and system for detecting a vehicle rollover, in particular a soil trip rollover
First Claim
1. A method of detecting a vehicle rollover comprising the steps of(a) determining a lateral acceleration of the vehicle,(b) calculating an acceleration differential value on the basis of the lateral accelerations determined in at least two steps (a),(c) determining a possibility of a rollover of the vehicle on the basis of the lateral acceleration determined in at least one step (a) and the acceleration differential value calculated in at least one step (b),(d) generating an output activation signal at least on the basis of a possibility of a rollover of the vehicle determined in a step (c),where the steps are performed in loops.

Abstract
A method and system for detecting a vehicle rollover or dangerous situations that may precede a rollover, in particular a soil trip type rollover includes the following steps, where the steps are performed in loops,
- (a) determining a lateral acceleration of the vehicle,
- (b) calculating an acceleration differential value on the basis of the lateral accelerations determined in at least two steps (a),
- (c) determining a possibility of a rollover of the vehicle on the basis of the lateral acceleration determined in at least one step (a) and the acceleration differential value calculated in at least one step (b),
- (d) generating an output activation signal at least on the basis of a possibility of a rollover of the vehicle determined in a step (c).
