ABSTRACT:
An apparatus includes a vehicle stabilizer (16) and a structure (14) which supports the stabilizer (16) on a vehicle (10) for movement to a deployed position. When the stabilizer (16) is in the deployed position, it projects laterally from the vehicle (10) so as to restrain rolling of the vehicle (10). A stabilizer control system (18) moves the stabilizer to the deployed position when the vehicle (10) experiences a rollover crash. The stabilizer control system (18) includes a source of energy (92) for moving the stabilizer (16) to the deployed position, a sensor (106) for sensing the occurrence of a rollover crash, and a device (90) for responding to the sensor (106) by actuating the source of energy (92) upon the occurrence of a rollover crash.
