Abstract

Keywords: stability, skidding, sliding, overturning, electronic control.

Determining the stability limits of any vehicle, along with the consequences when these limits are exceeded, such as traffic accidents, becomes an extremely difficult issue during vehicle's design process or during its operation. Letting the driver know the moment when the vehicle loses its stability becomes essential for traffic safety. This work shows the way in which one can determine the stability limits of a vehicle when steering, with the help of the VBOX Mini unit.
