abstract="<p>Statistical confirmation of the important relationship between vehicle rollover stability, as defined by the ratio of half track width to center of gravity height, and rollover rate, as defined by the ratio of rollovers per single vehicle accident (RO/SVA) expressed as a percent, has been established using data extracted from the automated police accident reports of three states. A consistent and robust relationship between this measure of stability and single vehicle crashes involving rollover was found by means of linear regression analysis techniques. The relationship of this stability factor with the rollover per registered vehicle rate further substantiates the tendency for this type of crash to be associated with vehicles possessing a low rollover stability index.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
