Abstract

An active vehicle roll control system is disclosed in which a roll bar (22) has two halves (22a, 22b) which can be locked together to allow the system to operate passively. A sensing system based on a lateral accelerometer and vehicle speed sensor is arranged to detect when the vehicle is on a side slope and to put the roll control system into the passive mode.
