A method and system for detecting a vehicle rollover, in particular a soil trip rollover

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and system for detecting a vehicle rollover or dangerous situations that may precede a rollover, in particular a soil trip type rollover. The method comprises the steps of
(a) determining a lateral acceleration of the vehicle,
(b) calculating an acceleration differential value on the basis of the lateral accelerations determined in at least two steps (a),
(c) determining a possibility of a rollover of the vehicle on the basis of the lateral acceleration determined in at least one step (a) and the acceleration differential value calculated in at least one step (b),
(d) generating an output activation signal at least on the basis of a possibility of a rollover of the vehicle determined in a step (c),
where the steps are performed in loops. The present invention also relates to a system of detecting a vehicle rollover and a computer program implementing such method.
