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'
