Some tractor operators have raised concerns about using ROPS in low-clearance environments, such as in orchards and buildings. In response, NIOSH developed an Automatically Deploying Rollover Protective Structure (AutoROPS) which stays in a lowered position until a rollover condition is determined, at which time it deploys to a fully extended and locked position.

The Automotive Crash Injury Research Center was founded in 1952 by John O. Moore at the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory, which spun off in 1972 as Calspan Corporation. [1] It pioneered the use of crash testing , originally using corpses rather than dummies .

[ citation needed ] The decline in popularity of convertibles in the US was partly caused by concern about lack of protection in rollover accidents, because most convertibles have no ...

A crash test dummy, or simply dummy, is a full-scale anthropomorphic test device (ATD) that simulates the dimensions, weight proportions and articulation of the human body during a traffic collision. Dummies are used by researchers, automobile and aircraft manufacturers to predict the injuries a person might sustain in a crash. [ 1 ]
An active rollover protection (ARP), is a system that recognizes impending rollover and selectively applies brakes to resist. [ 1 ] ARP builds on electronic stability control and its three chassis control systems already on the vehicle – anti-lock braking system , traction control and yaw control .
