ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for preventing a vehicle from overturning on a curve due to a too high speed. First and second signals are produced, respectively, in proportion to the square root of the vehicle speed and in proportion to the sine of the steering angle. The first and second voltages are summed and amplified to produce a third signal. The third is compared with a reference voltage and fourth signal is produced if the third signal exceeds the reference voltage. An operational parameter of the vehicle such as the required force to operate the power steering unit or the fuel flow rate to the carburetor is varied to prevent overturn.
