Abstract

Vehicles sometimes roll over when driving. We investigated whether this was due only to excessive speeding or if other factors were at play. By creating a model comparing bend radius, velocity and angle to the vehicle's centre of mass, we concluded that in most cases other factors relating to the road surface would be involved.
