A rollover avoidance system for changing the damping characteristics of
suspension dampers at each wheel of a vehicle so as to mitigate the
potential for vehicle rollover. The system includes a plurality of
vehicle parameter sensors for measuring vehicle parameters and providing
vehicle parameter signals. The system also includes a controller for
generating a damper suspension command signal for each damper using the
vehicle parameter signals. The controller considers a roll control factor
representing a rollover condition of the vehicle and a yaw stability
control factor representing a yaw condition of the vehicle to set the
damping of the dampers to mitigate the potential for vehicle rollover.
