    Analysis of the Crash Experience of Vehicles Equipped with All Wheel Antilock Braking Systems (ABS)-A Second Update Including Vehicles with Optional ABS
    Hertz, Ellen
    2000-09-01 | PDF
    This analysis updates the 1998 Antilock Braking System (ABS) analysis (Hertz et al, 1998) by including vehicles whose owners had selected it as an option. The inclusion of the vehicles with optional ABS does not seem to make very much difference in the estimation of the effect of all wheel ABS in crashes of all severities. ABS still seems to have a ...
