A roll stability control system for an automotive vehicle includes an
external environment sensing system, such as a camera-based vision
system, or a radar, lidar or sonar-based sensing system that generates
image, radar, lidar, and/or sonar-based signals. A controller is coupled
to the sensing system and generates dynamic vehicle characteristic
signals in response to the image, radar, lidar, or sonar-based signals.
The controller controls the rollover control system in response to the
dynamic vehicle control signal. The dynamic vehicle characteristics may
include roll related angles, angular rates, and various vehicle
velocities.
