Abstract
Safety devices and methods of detecting the rotation of a vehicle are disclosed. The safety devices include micromechanical gyros for determining the angular position and angular speed of rotation of the vehicle about one of its axes, a control unit for comparing the angular position and angular speed of rotation with predetermined threshold values for those values in which at least one of the threshold values is variable and is based upon a predetermined operational condition of the vehicle, and at least one protective device actuatable by the control unit based upon that comparison. The methods disclosed include determining the angular position and angular speed of rotation of the vehicle about at least one axis, comparing the angular position and angular speed of rotation with predetermined threshold values for those values, at least one of the threshold values being variable and based upon at least one predetermined operational condition for the vehicles, and actuating at least one protective device based upon that comparison.
