Q: Do you have methods to calculate the roll rates for a vehicle rollover?

A: In addition to our list of references Rollover speed versus the number of rotations?

We also have posted up some equations from our book McHenry Accident Reconstruction

• Minimum Lateral Speed for Tripping Type Rollover
  • which also includes a couple pages on 'Speed Required for a Lateral Rollover Beyond 90 degrees'

The following figures added Mar 2022 for convenience:
