Analysis of the Crash Experience of Passenger Cars Equipped with Antilock Braking Systems.

PB95249330

Publication Date	1995
Personal Author	Hertz, E.; Hilton, J.; Johnson, D. M.
Page Count	44
Abstract	Using data from Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS) and Florida, Maryland, Missouri, and Pennsylvania, four 'ABS-relevant' crash types were identified as follows: (1) rollovers, (2) side impacts with parked vehicles or fixed objects, (3) frontal impacts with parked vehicles or fixed objects, and (4) frontal impacts with another motor vehicle in transport. These crash types represented situations in which it was felt that ABS would be beneficial. The passenger car experiences in these four crash types were compared to a control group of crashes that are not expected to be affected by the presence of ABS. Detailed findings are provided for the four individual crash types, and on favorable vs. unfavorable road surfaces.
