In a method for preventing rollover for a vehicle traveling on a road, for each present position of the vehicle as it moves forward, its speed is forecasted for future positions of the vehicle on the road, based on an assumption regarding driving style of the operator, and based on a map containing road geometry data and statistical speed data for vehicles traveling said road. At each such present position of the vehicle, a maximum safe speed is determined for points on the road forward of the vehicle, based on a maximum lateral acceleration, the road geometry and the vehicle parameters. A rollover warning is generated for any current position of the vehicle at which the forecasted future speed for at least one particular point on the road forward of the vehicle exceeds the determined maximum safe speed at particular point.

A method for determining a lane change by a vehicle includes determining a vehicle heading using for example GPS information, determining a road heading at a location of the vehicle, and when the vehicle is on the multilane road, determining a lane change as a function of a heading difference between the vehicle heading and the road heading. A vehicle with a lane change determination device is also provided.
