Roll-Over Prevention System for Commercial Vehicles - Additional Sensorless Function of the Electronic Brake System

Recent experiences have shown that even small-medium size passenger cars face an accident which has been connected with commercial vehicles so far: the roll-over. The roll-over is the most horrible accident type for truck drivers, since he/she does not have any indication before it happens, and cons...

Summary:Recent experiences have shown that even small-medium size passenger cars face an accident which has been connected with commercial vehicles so far: the roll-over. The roll-over is the most horrible accident type for truck drivers, since he/she does not have any indication before it happens, and consequently does not react properly. This article discusses some of the problems of the commercial vehicle stability in general, and offers a solution for detecting and avoiding roll-over by using the existing sensors and actuators of electronic brake system (EBS).
