Summary:

An experimental program to measure braking characteristicsdeveloped under emergency braking conditions by ABS-equippedvehicles was designed and performed. Variables examined includedinitial braking speed, vehicle type, tire pressure and datarecording equipment utilized. All experiments were conducted on aclosed airport taxiway constructed of sharp, brushed and heavilystriated concrete. Tests were conducted with and without activatedABS systems on the test vehicles.Results showed that (1) with the ABS activated, faint roadwaymarkings were visible only under a very few special circumstances,(2) tire/road μ-values and corresponding deceleration values variedonly slightly for differing speeds and ABS conditions, (3) tirepressure made little difference in limited test results, and (4)there were differences in recorded results depending on theequipment used for data acquisition
