TY - JOUR PY - 1995// TI - The effectiveness of abs (anti locking brakes) in real life accidents JO - Proceedings: International Technical Conference on the Enhanced Safety of Vehicles A1 - Kullgren, Anders A1 - Lie, Anders A1 - Tingvall, Claes SP - 1568 EP - 1573 VL - 1995 IS - N2 - 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.
