Abstract Using data from FARS and Florida, Maryland, Missouri, and Pennsylvania, four “ABS-relevant” crash types were identified as follows: (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. These crash types represented situations in which it was felt that ABS would be beneficial.

Detailed findings are provided for the four individual crash types, and on favorable vs. unfavorable road surfaces. The following findings were noted:
