A lateral rollover risk warning device can report vehicle rollover risk in real time during traveling with no need for inputting radius of a curved path in advance. It includes a first acceleration sensor detecting an external force applied in up-down direction of a vehicle body; an angular velocity sensor detecting a rotation around vehicle axis of vehicle body; and a second acceleration sensor detecting an external force in right-left direction of vehicle body, with an arithmetic part using detection results given by first acceleration sensor and angular velocity sensor to calculate a limit index of vehicle being led to a rollover, and using detection result given by second acceleration sensor to calculate a comparative index to be compared with limit index in real time; and a reporting part using limit index and comparative index to report lateral rollover risk warning information telling the rollover risk.

A tilt detection device for a moving object includes the first acquisition portion that acquires first tilt information detected by a first tilt sensor disposed in a sensor package housing mounted in the moving object and a peripheral monitoring sensor. The second acquisition portion acquires second tilt information detected by a second tilt sensor disposed in a portion of the moving object other than the sensor package housing. The first difference identification portion identifies a first difference between a tilt of the moving object relative to a common reference state and a tilt of the sensor package housing relative to the common reference state based on the first tilt information and the second tilt information. The tilt detection portion determines that the sensor package housing is tilted from an initial position when the first difference does not fall within a first allowable range.

A method for detecting a rollover on the basis of a signal of an acceleration sensor in the direction of the vertical axis of the vehicle is described, wherein the time period in which acceleration lies within a specified range is assessed. For this purpose, a counter and a clock generator are provided, wherein the counter is incremented each clock pulse if acceleration lies within a specified range, and the counter is decremented maximally to the value of zero if acceleration lies outside of a specified range. An emergency call may be triggered if a specified counter reading is reached. Additionally, a maximum speed may be specified in the travel direction above which the counter or the triggering is not active.

A method and system for operating restraint devices in a vehicle during a fast roll event or a slow roll event includes a lateral acceleration sensor and an angular rate sensor. When the angular rate and a vertical acceleration of the vehicle predict a vehicle rollover, the system integrates the lateral acceleration from the lateral acceleration sensor to obtain a roll rate velocity. When the lateral acceleration is greater than a fast lateral acceleration threshold and the roll rate velocity is greater than a fast roll rate velocity threshold, the system provides a fast roll event output. When the lateral acceleration is less than the fast lateral acceleration threshold and greater than a slow lateral acceleration threshold while the roll rate velocity is greater than a slow roll rate velocity threshold, the system provides a slow roll event output. The system operates restraint devices based on the roll event.
