TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Deceleration Rates of Modern Passenger Vehicles During Straight Line Braking and Yaw Events JO - Collision: the international compendium for crash research A1 - Reust, TJ SP - 20 EP - 29 VL - 1 IS - 2 N2 - Modern passenger vehicles with ABS brakes are capable of generating up to a 1.0g deceleration rate (the range in general is 0.8 to 0.9g) on a dry road surface that is in good condition.  This paper outlines recent testing with a variety of passenger vehicles that include sedans, minivan, SUV and pickups.  The tests were conducted on dry road surfaces that were in good repair.  The deceleration rates of the vehicles were tested during straight line braking and also during yaw events.
