This article is devoted to vehicle safety in the crosswinds. A static model to determine the critical wind speed for overturn-, sideslip- and rotation-type of accidents is considered. The basic equations were defined by assuming that the vehicle moves in a uniform straight line. Explicit formulas for the critical wind speed for all three possible wind-induced accidents are derived to provide the new critical wind speed formulas for rollover and rotation wind-induced accidents. Numerical examples are given and compared to field observations. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
