Enhancing Heavy Vehicle Safety: The Case for Mandating ESC in Australia

Dr. Peter Hart, Chairman of ARTSA, presents findings from extensive brake testing conducted at DECA in Shepparton, revealing that Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with roll stability can potentially reduce fatal heavy vehicle crash rates by up to 30% if mandated. The study evaluates various load conditions and highlights shortcomings in the current ADR rule-making process. Dr. Hart urges immediate action, suggesting that new heavy vehicles in Victoria should be required to include ESC systems starting from January 2016. The future of heavy vehicle safety is dependent on adopting advanced safety technology.

  15. The Case for Mandating ESC + RSP in Australia Dr Peter Hart, Chairman ARTSA

  16. Conclusions ESC with roll-stability might reduce fatal HV crash rates by 30% + if installed on all HVs.

  17. Conclusions ESC with roll-stability might reduce fatal HV crash rates by 30% + if installed on all HVs. The future is clear. It involves ESC on new prime-movers and probably on new trailers.

  18. Conclusions ESC with roll-stability might reduce fatal HV crash rates by 30% + if installed on all HVs. The future is clear. It involves ESC on new prime-movers and probably on new trailers. The ADR rule making process has failed.

  19. Conclusions ESC with roll-stability might reduce fatal HV crash rates by 30% + if installed on all HVs. The future is clear. It involves ESC on new prime-movers and probably on new trailers. The ADR rule making process has failed. Without high level intervention, Australia will continue to dilly-dally.

  20. Conclusions ESC with roll-stability might reduce fatal HV crash rates by 30% + if installed on all HVs. The future is clear. It involves ESC on new prime-movers and probably on new trailers. The ADR rule making process has failed. Without high level intervention, Australia will continue to dilly-dally. Premier Napthine should announce that post 1 Jan 2016, new HVs in Victoria must have ESC (including RSP)
