摘要: |
Reducing the disparity between the stopping distances of heavy trucks and the lighter vehicles with which they share the road continues to be one of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations (NHTSA) high priority areas. Current truck designs typically take between 1.5 and 2 times as far to stop from highway speeds, as do passenger cars. Truck brake performance has been identified as a major factor contributing to crashes involving large trucks. Analysis of the 2001 Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) data shows that SUTs are involved in 27%of all fatal crashes which involve large trucks (GVWR > 10,000 lbs.) |
