All terrain vehicle (ATV) roll over prevention system

Customer Background

A US-based outdoor power equipment manufacturer producing ATVs and utility vehicles needed to add rollover detection and warning systems to improve driver safety.

Challenges

• ATVs frequently experience severe shock, vibration, and high-angle tilting in off-road environments.
• Sensors must maintain stability across -40°C～+85°C temperature range.
• Cost-effective for high-volume vehicle integration.

GyroSens Solution

• GyroSens provided the GSACC117Q low-cost rugged environment accelerometer:
• Designed for cost-sensitive and environmentally demanding applications.
• Proven quartz flexure technology provides higher accuracy than typical MEMS.
• Full-temperature compensation ensures stable output from -40°C～+85°C.
• Excellent vibration and shock resistance for ATV off-road conditions.
• Available with analog or digital output for easy ECU integration.

Results

The system successfully detects critical roll angles exceeding 45° and triggers audible/visual alarms, significantly improving driving safety. This model is now standard equipment on the manufacturer's ATV lineup.
