This report documents the results of testing potential maneuvers to measure on-road, untripped, rollover propensity. Twelve test vehicles, covering a wide range of vehicle types and classes were used. Three vehicles from each of the following categories were tested: passenger cars, light trucks, vans, and sport utility vehicles. The vehicles were tested with candidate vehicle characterization and untripped rollover propensity maneuvers. The vehicle characterization maneuvers were designed to determine fundamental vehicle handling properties while the untripped rollover propensity maneuvers were designed to produce two-wheel lift for vehicles with relatively higher rollover propensity potential. The vehicle characterization maneuvers were Pulse Steer, Sinusoidal Sweep, Slowly Increasing Steer, an Slowly Increasing Speed. The rollover propensity maneuvers were J-Turn, J-Turn with pulse Braking, Fishhook No. 1 and No. 2, and Resonant Steer.
