SKID AND ROLL-OVER PROTECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VEHICLES

摘要

A system ( 10 ) for preventing skidding or roll-over of a road vehicle includes a wheel vibratory sensor arrangement ( 14 ) for each wheel ( 12 ) configured to measure vibrational motion of the wheel hub along at least two, and preferably three, perpendicular axes. The system processes the vibrational motion measurements to determine a current status of vehicle function and implements a suitable driving correction regime when necessary. The driving correction regime may include operating a braking system ( 20 ) of the vehicle so as to apply braking to selected wheels of the vehicle.
