Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A roll-over detector for vehicles includes a first accelerometer mounted on a first axle of the vehicle, a second accelerometer mounted on a second axle of the vehicle, and a third accelerometer mounted on a third axle of the vehicle. A controller compares data received from the first and second accelerometers and actuates a safety device to prevent a roll-over condition if the differences between the data exceed a predetermined value. The controller utilizes data from the third accelerometer to account for the effect of road conditions on the variations between the data from the first and second accelerometers.
