Publication number: 20230294666Abstract: A novel method of preventing vehicle rollover by shifting center of mass (COM). Shifting 23% of a vehicle's total vehicle weight can increase the rollover impact energy threshold by 4 times on a scaled prototype SUV built in the research. This design can be implemented on commercial vehicles and greatly reduce the probability of vehicle rollover. Moreover, existing parts on the vehicle such as the battery on an electric vehicle can be used as the mobile weight to shift COM.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Vivian Hui, Kai Hui
