Abstract
Intelligent vehicle rollover detection systems and methods are claimed and described. An embodiment may comprise various data sensors to sense various signals and a control circuit to receive the signals. In some embodiments, the control circuit may be adapted to provide a vehicle unstable signal to activate a first occupant restraint system and a rollover detection signal to activate a second occupant restraint system. In some embodiments, the control circuit may also determine an updated threshold and a reduced threshold, and generate a rollover detection signal in response to at least one of the updated threshold and a reduced threshold. Other embodiments are also claimed and described.
