Abstract—Vehicles rollover is considered as one of the most
significant causes of injuries and fatalities in road accidents.
Thus, automotive engineers have always been interested in
devising mechanisms or modifying the vehicle design in order
to prevent rollover. In this research, an active stabilizer is used
to improve the roll stability of a SUV (sport utility vehicle). A
novel fuzzy mamdani controller is designed in order to
improve the performance of the anti-rollover system.
Performance of the system is then evaluated using CarSim
which is a car dynamic simulation software, while the
Controller is implemented in Simulink Environment.
Matlab/CarSim Co-simulation of the models during standard
maneuvers demonstrates the versatility and reliability of the
proposed mechanism in improving the vehicle roll motion
stability and thus preventing rollover when necessary.
Index Terms—Rollover prevention, fuzzy controller, CarSim.
