The risk of rollover in conjunction with a high rate of fatalities in the USA, led to a rollover ranking of vehicles. An appending handling rating is not implemented.
Therefore it is possible, with a suboptimal vehicle setup, to achieve a good rollover rating to the disadvantage of vehicle agility.

Goal 

The target of this research project is to elaborate a rating procedure to gain an optimal tradeoff between rollover behavior and vehicle agility.  

Execution 

  •  Collaboration ISO/TC22/SC9/WG9 Rollover
  •  Definition of capable driving maneuvers
  •  Use of Hardware in the loop Simulation for ESP electronic control unit
