“…Spatial separation, achieved for example by building divided highways, or using the relatively inexpensive wire rope fence, offers great potential to reduce the number of deaths caused by crossing over the midline ( Figure 5). Electronic stability program (ESP) systems may, however, also contribute to reducing these crashes (Farmer, 2006;Lie et al, 2004). The reduction of speed limits in winter, as has been practiced in Finland for decades, may be another effective measure.…”

“…A discussion of these analyses and a comparison with the main conclusions of the NHTSA 2012 analysis is included in a companion paper (Wenzel, submitted). In addition, several have evaluated the effectiveness that new technologies ESC (Farmer 2006;Sivinski 2011), side airbags (Kahane 2007;McCartt and Kyrychenko 2007), and compatibility measures (Baker et al 2008;Ossiander et al 2013) have in reducing fatality risk. However, none of these studies have evaluated whether widespread introduction of these technologies are expected to change the current relationship between vehicle mass and fatality risk per vehiclemile traveled (VMT).…”

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently updated its 2003 and 2010 logistic regression analyses of the effect of a reduction in light-duty vehicle mass on US fatality risk per vehicle mile travelled (VMT). The current NHTSA analysis is the most thorough investigation of this issue to date. LBNL's assessment of the analysis indicates that the estimated effect of mass reduction on risk is smaller than in the previous studies, and statistically non-significant for all but the lightest cars.The effect three recent trends in vehicle designs and technologies have on societal fatality risk per VMT are estimated, and whether these changes might affect the relationship between vehicle mass and fatality risk in the future. Side airbags are found to reduce fatality risk in cars, but not necessarily light trucks or CUVs/minivans, struck in the side by another light-duty vehicle; reducing the number of fatalities in cars struck in the side is predicted to reduce the estimated detrimental effect of footprint reduction, but increase the detrimental effect of mass reduction, in cars on societal fatality risk. Better alignment of light truck bumpers with those of other vehicles appears to result in a statistically significant reduction in risk imposed on car occupants; however, reducing this type of fatality will likely have little impact on the estimated effect of mass or footprint reduction on risk. Finally, shifting light truck drivers into safer, car-based vehicles, such as sedans, CUVs, and minivans, would result in larger reductions in societal fatalities than expected from even substantial reductions in the masses of light trucks. A strategy of shifting drivers from truck-based to car-based vehicles would reduce fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions, while improving societal safety.

The objective of this study is to identify the effectiveness of ESC(Electronic Stability Control) based on a meta analysis technique. Accident Rate, Fatal Crash Rate, Loss of Control Crash Rate were set as indexes of traffic safety evaluation. Also, reviews on the effectiveness of ESC were collected using keyword, 'ESC'. As a result, the Effect size of accident rate odd ratio was 0.90. When ESC system was applied on vehicles, accident rate decreased by 10%. Also, the Effect size of fatal crash rate odd ratio was 0.64. When ESC system was applied on vehicles, fatal crash rate decreased by 36%. Lastly, the Effect size of loss of control crash rate odd ratio was 0.73. When ESC system was applied on vehicles, loss of control crash rate decreased by 27%. The outcome of this study would be effectively used for developing polices and regulations for ESC installation obligation of commercial vehicles.Keywords: accident rate, effect size, ESC(electronic stability control), meta-analysis, traffic safety

Effects of Electronic Stability Control: An Update

Abstract: The present study confirms the results of the earlier study. There are significant reductions in single-vehicle crash rates when passenger vehicles are equipped with ESC. In addition, ESC leads to reductions in severe multiple-vehicle crashes.
