Abstract:
1. A system for determining a rollover property of a vehicle, comprising: (a) a lateral acceleration sensor capable of sensing a lateral acceleration of the vehicle and outputting a lateral acceleration signal; (b) a first speed sensor capable of sensing a first left tire rotational speed and outputting a first left tire speed signal; (c) a second speed sensor capable of sensing a first right tire rotational speed and outputting a first right tire speed signal; (d) a mass sensor for sensing a mass property and outputting a mass property signal; and (e) a processing unit for receiving the lateral acceleration signal, the first left tire speed signal, the first right tire speed signal, and the mass property signal, and for using the lateral acceleration signal, the first left tire speed signal, the first right tire speed signal, and the mass property signal to determine the rollover property of the vehicle.
