While the horizontal curves have a duty to protect all types of road vehicles against sliding as well rollover, fact that different vehicle lose their stability for competing criteria makes this task difficult and vital. In relation rollover undergoing centripetal acceleration, technical note discusses number unclear interpretations some statements seen in reference books how better understandi...

In this article, a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) lateral stability and rollover controller has been developed including as the main novelty taking into account the road bank angle and using exclusively active suspension for both lateral stability and rollover control. The main problem regarding the road bank is that it cannot be measured by means of on-board sensors. The solution proposed in...

Heavy vehicles exiting (or entering) a tunnel at high speed under strong crosswind is particularly critical condition since the aerodynamic load changes drastically, greatly affecting lateral stability of vehicle. Often, active control systems (active suspensions, front steering, etc.) and infrastructure elements (e.g., wind fences) are proposed to reduce induced risks. To help design these dev...

This paper describes the development of an active roll control system for a tractor semitrailer. The design of the hardware and software are explained. Simulations of the yaw-roll response of the vehicle show that the system will provide significant improvements in rollover stability.

An analysis of Victorian truck rollover crashes using data from the VicRoads Road Crash Information System database and National Transport Insurance (NTI) was undertaken for 2003 to 2007. Recommendations for reducing the frequency and severity of truck rollover crashes were made based on the analyses and supported by relevant literature. The Victorian crash data indicated that of all truck cras...
