Patent number: 9116784Abstract: The present invention proposes a system and method for preventing a vehicle from rolling over in curved lane. The road images captured by the image capture devices are used to calculate road information. The road information together with the vehicular dynamic information, such as the speed and acceleration of the vehicle are used to predict the rollover angle and lateral acceleration of the vehicle moving on the curved lane. The height of the gravity center and critical rollover speed of the vehicle moving on the curved lane are worked out and used to define a vehicular rollover index. If the vehicular rollover index exceeds a preset value, the system warns the driver or directly controls the speed of the vehicle to prevent the vehicle from rolling over in the curved lane.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2012Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: Automotive Research & Test CenterInventors: Chi-Chun Yao, Jin-Yan Hsu, Chun-Hsiung Chen, Tsung-Hua Hsu, Yi-Feng Su
