System and method for detecting an impending tip over of a vehicle

A method of detecting an impending tip over of a vehicle, in particular for identifying false positives during tip over detection, the method comprising the steps:

• acquiring first measurement data using at least one first sensor, the first measurement data comprising vehicle axle strain data, and at least one of attitude data and acceleration data;
• acquiring second measurement data using at least one second sensor, the second measurement data comprising vehicle axle strain data, and at least one of attitude data and acceleration data;
• using an electronic control unit to determine, based on the first measurement data and based on the second measurement data, if the second measurement data is indicative of an impending tip over of the vehicle;
• and
• only when the electronic control unit determines that the second measurement data is indicative of an impending tip over of the vehicle, using the electronic control unit to trigger an alarm signal, to override a control command or to overwrite a control command.
