Abstract

In this study the effectiveness of Anti Locking Brakes (ABS) in the accident population is studied. By studying cars with and without ABS, but otherwise identical, it was possible to have a control group that was not affected by vehicle characteristics other than the braking system. Accidents were subdivided into those types more and less affected by the braking system as well as on road surfaces with different friction. The occurrence and severity of accidents were studied.
