National Center for Statistics and Analysis has recently completed an initial analysis of the crash experience of passenger cars (PCs) and light trucks and vans (LTVs) equipped with antilock braking systems (ABS). Four types of crashes were identified as "ABS-relevant," that is, crashes for which it was assumed that ABS would be beneficial in avoid

The study was designed to determine the crash likelihood of drivers in Michigan as a function of two independent variables: driver age and driving experience. The age variable had eight levels (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25 years old) and the experience variable had two levels (one and two years of experience). The dependent variable was the a

Current bridge condition determination is based almost entirely on the use of visual inspection. This approach to bridge inspection provides data that is subjective and not traceable. Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) is a tool that in actuality is little used on bridges, but could eliminate much of the subjectivity of the input data for the bridge c
