Abstract

A rollover predictor judgment device for a combination vehicle includes a lateral acceleration sensor, a yaw rate sensor, an articulate angle sensor, and a judgment device in a form of a retarder controller. The judgment device judges that the combination vehicle is in a rollover predictor status when a first lateral acceleration calculated based on a detection value of the lateral acceleration sensor is a first threshold or more or when a second lateral acceleration calculated based on a detection value of the yaw rate sensor and a detection value of the articulate angle sensor is a second threshold or more.
