The end application is for guys who drive big vehicles and regularly tip them over (often resulting in injuries). The purpose of this device is to warn them that they are close to the vehicles limit and records how often they exceed this limit and what they did after the alarm in an actual roll over incident. No volunteers for testing?

There is also an audible alarm! It's important to point out that this device isn't a tilt alarm. The algorithm also takes in to account acceleration which can sometimes be more important as the other variables change, especially in a dynamic scenario where things are moving. For this demonstration we won't have a variable CoG but if this gets to production there will be a roof loading adjustment with simple steps (50kg or similar).

I was wondering if anyone here fancied testing our electronic prototype rollover prediction device we have designed? The system is windscreen mounted and calculates a roll over index and displays it on a set of LED cross hair bar graphs. It uses internal gyros and accelerometers to calculate how close to roll over a vehicle is. The system needs to know measurements for vehicle wheel base, track and centre of gravity (height). We are hoping to find an enthusiast who likes to reguarly roll their vehicle (and doesn't mind demonstrating so) as we want to prove the software is correct. We are based in Gosport (Hampshire) so anywhere within an hours drive would be preferred. We don't have a huge budget to pay anyone for testing but reward can be in drivers choice of greasy food sustanance ;-) Many thanks Marek marek1@hotmail.com 02392 987260
