  • Abstract:
    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 avoiding the crash and/or ameliorating the

    outcome of the crash. The four "ABS-relevant" crash types identified were: (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. Analysis is based upon data that comprise

    the initial years of crash experiences for the first groups of vehicles equipped

    with ABS. While the findings indicate some reductions, increases were also noted.

    Thus, NHTSA estimates that there has been little or no net crash reduction with

    ABS, to date. Further analysis is warranted, especially for passenger cars.

    NHTSA has implemented a plan of analysis and vehicle testing to obtain a

    clearer understanding of the performance of ABS. 2p. An Analysis of the Crash

    Experience of Passenger Cars Equipped with Antilock Braking Systems, by Hertz,

    Hilton, and Johnson (DOT HS-808 279, May 1995) provides detailed findings for

    the PC analysis. The LTV findings are contained in An Analysis of the Crash

    Experience of Light Trucks and Vans Equipped with Antilock Braking Systems, also

    by Hertz, Hilton, and Johnson (DOT HS-808 278, May 1995).
