Abstract
A tipping avoidance system configured to modify operation of a collision avoidance system. The tipping avoidance system may include a payload determination system configured to generate a payload signal, and a load position determination system configured to generate a load position signal. The tipping avoidance system may also include a tipping avoidance controller configured to receive the payload signal and the load position signal, and determine, based at least in part on the payload signal and the load position signal, a minimum stopping distance at or above which the machine will not tip due at least in part to deceleration of the machine from a travel speed to a stopped condition. The tipping avoidance controller may be configured to communicate with a braking controller, such that the braking controller adjusts a stop triggering distance based at least in part on the minimum stopping distance.
