N2  - Antilock braking systems (ABS) use electronic controls to maintain wheel rotation under hard braking that would otherwise lock a vehicle's wheels.  It has been demonstrated that ABS enhances braking performance, but the relationship between improved braking and safety is not clear.  This paper aims at understanding about the relationship between ABS and traffic safety by examining two published studies which used police reported crashes and augmenting the findings by including new data and additional results, and then comparing the results to other results in the literature.<br />
