Roll Rate Based Roll Stability Control - The Roll Stability Control™ System

This paper presents the Roll Stability Control™ system developed at Ford Motor Company. It is an active safety system for passenger vehicles. It uses a roll rate sensor together with the information from the conventional electronic stability control hardware to detect a vehicle's roll condition associated with a potential rollover and executes proper brake control and engine torque reduction in response to the detected roll condition so as to mitigate a vehicular rollover.
