The study was performed to investigate the causes of response variability in vehicle rollover testing with ramps and other devices. The Highway-Vehicle-Object Simulation Model was used to simulate three vehicles and five rollover inducing devices. Results of the study indicate that variation of vehicle suspension characteristics can significantly influence vehicle response to a given rollover device but that it should be possible to design a device that will minimize the response variability.
