Vehicle Stability

NREC has developed an easy-to-implement solution to an important problem — stability margin estimation as it relates to vehicular rollover and tipover vulnerabilities.

A concrete realization of a stability margin estimation system for real-world applications has not existed until now. NREC scientists and engineers developed a real-world, effective system to prevent maneuver-induced rollover and tipover.

NREC’s Stability Prediction System (SPS) calculates the effects of lateral acceleration and gravity as either curvature, speed, or slope increase, and when state of motion approaches a tipover condition, the system recognizes the situation and stabilizes the vehicle.
