ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a brake system for preventing a friction rollover of a vehicle. The brake system includes a set of brakes for applying pressure to resist the rotation of the respective wheels of the vehicle, a sensor for producing a rollover signal in response to a predetermined force urging the vehicle to rollover, and a control for actuating the brakes in a predetermined program in response to the rollover signal. In one embodiment of the present invention, the controller actuates both front brakes in response to the rollover signal. In another embodiment of the present invention, the controller brakes the most heavily loaded front tire in response to the rollover signal.
