TECHNOLOGY - USA - Computer-Controlled Differential Braking Can Prevent Heavy Truck Rollover Accidents
PENNSILVANYA, USA -Science Daily/Penn State -2001-11-14 -- Penn State researchers say a computer program they developed and have tested in simulation could automatically adjust the brake forces on the right and left sides of a heavy truck cab and prevent rollover accidents during cornering maneuvers... A 1988 report ... showed rollover occurred in 52 percent of the heavy vehicle accidents in which the driver was killed... Another report concluded that heavy vehicle rollover was responsible for 95 percent of the bulk spillage of hazardous materials...
