To investigate the entire crash sequence associated with on-road or off-road rollovers, we developed a test methodology utilizing a crashworthy steering controller. This technology allows high-speed rollovers to be created with precise steering control, and without the limitations required for the safety of human drivers, such as the need for outriggers. The automated steering controller is currently configured for installation in the passenger compartment of a test vehicle, but could be modified for installation in the engine compartment, allowing for testing with anthropomorphic dummies.
