Don’t roll stability systems make rollover protection unnecessary?
Roll stability systems help drivers maintain control of their vehicles during jackknife and rollover events by applying brakes and reducing speed to help the vehicle maintain its upright position. Electronic stability systems go a step further by helping the driver maintain control by applying the brakes and reducing speed to better align the vehicle with an appropriate path of travel in conditions where the truck may be slipping, skidding or spinning. According to Bendix, stability systems are estimated to reduce commercial vehicle incidents by 10 to 60 percent, depending on a variety of factors including the route, driving conditions, traffic conditions, driver distractions and vehicle maintenance.
