accurately at quick timing corresponding to the behavior
of an actual vehicle, at first, a roll angle 0 and a roll
rate 0' which indicate an actual tendency of overturn of

roll angle  before damp derived from the following physical
model describing the vehicle behavior based on the roll angle
 indicating the overturn tendency of the running vehicle
and the estimation value A is set as the overturn parameter
X which indicates the readiness of overturn of the vehicle:
