System and method for sensing vehicle rollover
A rollover sensing system ( 10 ) includes a roll rate sensor ( 14 ) operative to sense a roll rate of rotation of a vehicle ( 12 ) and to provide a roll rate signal having an electrical characteristic indicative thereof. A controller ( 26 ) is connected to the roll rate sensor ( 14 ) and is operativ...

| Zusammenfassung: | A rollover sensing system (
10
) includes a roll rate sensor (
14
) operative to sense a roll rate of rotation of a vehicle (
12
) and to provide a roll rate signal having an electrical characteristic indicative thereof. A controller (
26
) is connected to the roll rate sensor (
14
) and is operative to determine a roll angle of the vehicle (
12
) based on the roll rate signal. The controller (
26
) includes a threshold having a value functionally related to roll angle. The controller (
26
) determines the occurrence of a vehicle rollover condition in response to the sensed roll rate crossing the threshold. |
