The objective of this study was to evaluate the stability enhancing characteristics, practicality, reliability, maintenance costs and fleet personnel reactions to ABS and double-drawbar dollies. To do this, a fleet of double- and triple-trailer LCVs in actual commercial service was equipped with ABS and with C-dollies and monitored for a period of one and one-half years. The fleet of test vehicles was distributed among five commercial fleets operating in the northwestern region of the country where the use of LCVs is most prevalent. The fleet accumulated 1.4 million miles on trips, and the individual units accumulated over 10.5 million unit-miles. All maintenance work done on the vehicles during the study was monitored, and the physical behavior of the vehicles on the road was measured with on-board instrumentation systems.
