Liming · Truck braking capability can be a factor in truck crashes. Loaded tractor-trailers take 20-40 percent farther than cars to stop, and the discrepancy is greater on wet and slippery roads or with poorly maintained brakes. Truck driver fatigue also is a known crash risk.
States primarily for class 8 truck tractors. RSC was intro-duced first in 2003. ESC was introduced in 2005. Although manufacturers are continuing to equip their truck tractors with RSC-only systems, some have moved towards ESC.

Liming · The Heavy Truck Rollover Characterization Study - Phase-B builds on the results of prior phases of research. Phases 1 and 2 (Funded by Federal Highway Administration) involved heavy truck rollover characterization for a tractor and box-trailer; and Phase-A involved the characterization of a tractor and flatbed-trailer.
Liming · The majority of rollover crash cases, 70%, involved Class 8 tractor-trailers or tractors without a trailer attached (commonly known as bobtails) and 30% involved single unit trucks. Of all rollovers, 56% occurred on divided highways which are typically higher speed roads, 42% occurred on two-way non-divided roads and 2%occurred on one way streets.
