Abstract

The study on the stability of vehicles when they make curves or evasive maneuvers allows us to identify how prone a vehicle is to have a rollover accident; taking this aspect into account, many studies identify the influence of the characteristics of the vehicle and the road on the calculation of the factor called Static Rollover Threshold (SRT); however, this factor depends largely on the location of the vehicle's center of gravity and the subsequent load distribution, in this sense, the load distribution can be affected by road conditions, such as are the lateral and longitudinal inclinations of this. Therefore, in this article, a bibliographic review of the main formulas developed to determine the SRT factor with the influence of the road is carried out, and a case study is developed to determine the influence of road in the calculation of the factor.
