Nashhville,TEN,USA -Road King, by PAUL ABELSON -19 Sept 2008: -- Crash rates have gone down each year, especially when measured in terms of rates per 100 million truck miles traveled but the dangers still exist... Today’s systems are roughly 32 times more capable than when ABS was finally required in the ’90s and was seamlessly integrated into trucking operations. Even more importantly, electronic devices have become miniaturized. Sensors and accelerometers, now smaller than a fingernail, are far more sensitive and responsive than ever before. They can detect rates of changes in motion, process the information and determine the best corrective action when abnormalities occur, all in far less time than a human can even detect that problems are starting...
