Overview
NREC pioneered an easy-to-implement solution to a serious but frequently overlooked problem ?stability margin estimation as it relates to vehicular rollover and tipover vulnerabilities.

The concrete realization of a ?tability margin estimation system?for real-world applications has been elusive ?until now. NREC scientists and engineers developed a real-world, effective system to prevent maneuver-induced rollover and tipover.

NREC? Stability Prediction System (SPS) calculates lateral acceleration as either curvature or speed increase, and when state of motion reaches tipover condition, the system recognizes the situation and stabilizes the vehicle.
