Abstract
A vehicle rollover mitigation system may include at least one first sensor to output rollover symptom signals indicating potential rollover of a vehicle, at least one second sensor to output vehicle environment signals indicating a surrounding environment of the vehicle and a controller to output rollover mitigation control signals for mitigating potential rollover of the vehicle based upon the rollover symptom signals and the vehicle environment signals. The vehicle rollover mitigation system may automatically respond to potential rollover by altering a state of an implement coupled to the vehicle.
Claims14
A vehicle rollover mitigation system comprising:
- at least one first sensor to output rollover symptom signals indicating a pitch rollover potential of a vehicle having rear wheels during application of a forward torque to the rear wheels;
- and
- a controller to automatically output rollover mitigation control signals for mitigating potential pitch rollover of the vehicle based upon the rollover symptom signals,
- wherein the mitigation control signals automatically cause application of a reverse torque to the rear wheels.
A vehicle rollover mitigation system comprising:
- at least one sensor to output rollover symptom signals indicating a rollover potential of a vehicle;
- a controller to output rollover mitigation control signals based upon the rollover symptom signals for mitigating potential rollover of the vehicle, the rollover mitigation control signals altering a state of an implement coupled to the vehicle and extending along a longitudinal axis, wherein the rollover mitigation control signals adjust a roll orientation of the implement about the longitudinal axis.
A vehicle rollover mitigation system comprising:
- at least one sensor to output rollover symptom signals indicating a rollover potential of a vehicle;
- a controller to output rollover mitigation control signals based upon the rollover symptom signals for mitigating potential rollover of the vehicle, the rollover mitigation control signals altering a state of an implement coupled to the vehicle, wherein the vehicle comprises a three-point hitch and wherein the rollover mitigation control signals are to differentially displace lower links of the three-point hitch to adjust an orientation of the implement coupled to the three-point hitch.
