Antilock braking systems (ABS) prevent wheels from locking during hard braking and have been shown to reduce motorcyclists' crash risk. ABS has proliferated in the United States fleet, and the objective of the current study was to update the effectiveness estimate for ABS with additional years of data and a broader variety of motorcycle types.
Motorcycle drivers involved in fatal crashes per 10,000 registered vehicle years during 2003-19 were examined for 65 motorcycle models offering ABS as an optional feature. Fatal crash rates for motorcycles with ABS were compared with rates for the same models without it.
ABS was associated with a statistically significant 22% reduction in motorcycle driver fatal crash involvements per 10,000 registered vehicle years.
This finding adds to the growing literature demonstrating the safety benefits of motorcycle ABS.
防抱死制动系统 (ABS) 可防止车轮在急刹车时抱死，并已被证明能降低摩托车手的碰撞风险。在美国，ABS 系统已在汽车中广泛普及，本研究的目的是利用更多年份的数据和更广泛的摩托车类型来更新 ABS 的有效性评估。
研究检查了 2003-2019 年期间每 10000 辆注册车辆中涉及的致命撞车事故的摩托车驾驶员，这些摩托车涉及 65 种型号，其中 ABS 作为可选功能提供。比较了配备 ABS 的摩托车的致命撞车率与相同型号但没有配备 ABS 的摩托车的撞车率。
ABS 与每 10000 辆注册车辆年中摩托车驾驶员致命撞车事故参与率降低 22% 具有统计学显著相关性。
这一发现增加了越来越多的文献，证明了摩托车 ABS 的安全效益。
