Abstract :
A major problem in the handling of high speed performance vehicles is the rolling of the vehicle. While pushing the car to the limit sometimes the less experienced drivers tip it over the safe speed line and rolling of the car takes place. It leads to a number of accidents and thus in order to reduce the rolling effect we have come up with the innovation of Roll Sensing Control Unit(RSCU). The RSCU comprises of a piezoelectric material which will be incorporated in the suspension system of an off road vehicle. The RSCU which will be connected to the electronic control module will help in preventing the lateral roll and thus improve the handling of the vehicle by controlling its speed and hence provides a safer ride to the user. The RSCU will help the driver attain the optimum speed at a curve without cause the car to roll.
