An Earlier Predictive Rollover Index Designed for Bus Rollover Detection and Prevention by Shun Tian, Lang Wei, Chris Schwarz, WenCai Zhou, Yuan Jiao, YanQin Chen

“…As vehicle rollovers annually cause a great deal of traffic-related deaths, an increasing number of vehicles are being equipped with rollover prevention systems with the aim of avoiding such accidents. To improve the functionality of active rollover prevention systems, this study provided a potential enhanced method with the intention to predict the tendency of the lateral load transfer ratio (LTR), which is the most common rollover index. …”
