System and method for controlling a work vehicle based on a monitored tip condition of the vehicle

A method for controlling a work vehicle based on a monitored tip condition of the work vehicle, the method comprising:

• determining, with a computing device, a combined center of gravity for the work vehicle based at least in part on an external load applied to a loader arm of the work vehicle;
• determining a tip-related state of the work vehicle based on a location of the combined center of gravity relative to a pivot point defined between a tire of the work vehicle and a driving surface for the work vehicle, wherein the work vehicle is in a non-tipping state when the combined center of gravity is located on a vehicle side of the pivot point and in a tipping state when the combined center of gravity is located on a non-vehicle side of the pivot point;
• calculating a tip percentage for the work vehicle when it is determined that the work vehicle is in the non-tipping state;
• and
• transmitting a signal to a display device of the work vehicle for visually displaying the tip percentage.

A system for controlling a work vehicle based on a monitored tip condition of the work vehicle, the system comprising:

• a computing device including a processor and associated memory, the memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when implemented by the processor, configure the computing device to:
• determine a combined center of gravity for the work vehicle based at least in part on an external load applied to a loader arm of the work vehicle;
• determine a tip-related state of the work vehicle based on a location of the combined center of gravity relative to a pivot point defined between a tire of the work vehicle and a driving surface for the work vehicle, wherein the work vehicle is in a non-tipping state when the combined center of gravity is located on a vehicle side of the pivot point and in a tipping state when the combined center of gravity is located on a non-vehicle side of the pivot point;
• and
• automatically perform a corrective action to counteract vehicle tipping when it is determined that the work vehicle is in the tipping state.
