Abstract
A lateral rollover risk warning device can report vehicle rollover risk in real time during traveling with no need for inputting radius of a curved path in advance. It includes a first acceleration sensor detecting an external force applied in up-down direction of a vehicle body; an angular velocity sensor detecting a rotation around vehicle axis of vehicle body; and a second acceleration sensor detecting an external force in right-left direction of vehicle body, with an arithmetic part using detection results given by first acceleration sensor and angular velocity sensor to calculate a limit index of vehicle being led to a rollover, and using detection result given by second acceleration sensor to calculate a comparative index to be compared with limit index in real time; and a reporting part using limit index and comparative index to report lateral rollover risk warning information telling the rollover risk.
