as well as any rollover tendency. The control unit

comprises an angular-speed sensor that measures the

vehicle‟s motion about the vertical axis, caused, for

instance, by cornering or by skidding on a slippery road

surface. An acceleration sensor measures the vehicle‟s

lateral acceleration. The Controller Area Network (CAN)

bus provides information on the steering angle. On the

basis of lateral acceleration and steering angle, an

integrated microcontroller calculates a theoretical

angular speed for the stable vehicle condition.
