Abstract:

This report is an analysis of the benefits of a collision avoidance system in reducing rear-end crashes. The collision avoidance system considered in this study utilizes the signal from a forward looking sensor to activate the traction control valve in an anti-lock brake system with a traction control option, to autonomously apply the service brakes in a heavy duty vehicle equipped with air brakes.
