Abstract
In an apparatus for detecting an incipient overturning moment acting on a vehicle, detection is accomplished by means of a sensing arrangement, which measures the centrifugal force to which the vehicle is subjected to, along a generally lateral direction transverse to the direction of movement of the vehicle. The sensing arrangement operates in cooperation with a force-amplifying device which, in turn, amplifies the measured force, and transmits the amplified force to the brake, and/or the acceleration pedal, and/or the steering wheel of the vehicle so as to act thereon in a sense to eliminate or at least reduce the incipient overturning moment.
