Alerting an operator about a potential vehicle 1 roll-over event preferably for a concrete mixer lorry comprising a drum assembly 19. The method comprises: determining the centre of gravity (COG) of the vehicle or truck; calculating the forces acting on the vehicle; determining the resultant force vector; comparing the determined centre of gravity and resultant force vector to known conditions for vehicle roll over; and indicating to an operator of a vehicle the risk of a potential vehicle roll over event occurring. Preferably, the method comprises determining the centre of gravity of a base vehicle and a drum assembly, determining the presence of a payload, and determining the centre of gravity of the payload. The method may also calculate the slump value of the payload. The forces preferably are detected using sensors e.g. a gyroscope.
