Field Performance Study of Electronic Stability Control System Effectiveness in Us Fatal Crashes

نویسنده

  • Jeya Padmanaban
چکیده

Recent US field data was used to evaluate the effectiveness of Electronic Stability Control (ESC) systems in reducing fatal crashes. Light vehicles with and without ESC systems were compared through comprehensive statistical analysis, including logistic regression and contingency analyses, to address ESC effectiveness in singleand multiple-vehicle, rollover and nonrollover crashes. Analyses controlled for key driver, vehicular, and environmental factors. Results indicate ESC systems are highly effective for rollovers in which the rollover is the first harmful event, but less effective for other rollovers and not effective for reducing fatal nonrollover crashes.

The Effectiveness of Esc (electronic Stability Control) in Reducing Real Life Crashes and Injuries

ESC (Electronic Stability Control) was introduced on the mass market in 1998. Since then, several studies showing the positive effects of ESC has been presented. In this study, data from crashes occurring in Sweden during 1998 to 2004 were used to evaluate the effectiveness of ESC on real life crashes. To control for exposure, induced exposure methods were used, where ESC-sensitive to ESC-insen...

Effect of electronic stability control on automobile crash risk.

Per vehicle crash involvement rates were compared for otherwise identical vehicle models with and without electronic stability control (ESC) systems. ESC was found to affect single-vehicle crashes to a greater extent than multiple-vehicle crashes, and crashes with fatal injuries to a greater extent than less severe crashes. Based on all police-reported crashes in 7 states over 2 years, ESC redu...
