| NHTSA Study Points to Benefits of ESC Systems
NHTSA Study Points to Benefits of ESC Systems Quote: Stability control systems can provide substantial safety benefits for heavy trucks, with electronic stability control (ESC) systems more beneficial than roll stability control (RSC) systems, according to a study conducted by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The study concluded that both systems can greatly reduce the number of crashes, deaths and injuries on the highway.
According to the research, with ESC installed on the vehicle, the number of annual heavy truck crashes would decrease by 4,659 crashes, preventing 126 fatalities and 5,909 injuries. If all trucks were outfitted with ESC, it would result in savings of $1.738 billion annually because of the rollovers prevented.
With RSC installed on the vehicle, there would be 3,489 less crashes, preventing 106 fatalities and 4,384 injuries. Having all trucks outfitted with RSC would save $1.456 billion annually, according to the data.
