SUMMARY OF WORKSHOP ON ANTI-SKID PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

THE FOLLOWING POINTS WERE RAISED REPEATEDLY DURING THE WORKSHOP: (1) THERE IS A BASIC NEED FOR A MUCH CLEARER UNDERSTANDING AND QUANTIFICATION OF ANTI-SKID NEEDS OF DRIVERS IN CARRYING OUT THE VARIOUS DRIVING MANEUVERS SUCH AS DECELERATION, ACCELERATION, CORNERING, CORNERING WHILE DECLERATING, OVERTAKING, AND PASSING; (2) THIS BASIC NEED CAN ONLY BE MET WHEN SATISFACTORY AND RELIABLE MEASUREMENTS ARE MADE; (3) TENTATIVE MINIMUM LEVELS OF SKID RESISTANCE FOR VARIOUS SITUATIONS AND CONDITIONS MUST BE SET; AND (4) THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY MUST DECIDE, ON A LOCAL BASIS, HOW BEST TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN AT LEAST MINIMUM STANDARDS IN A CONTINUING ANTI-SKID PROGRAM. THE AREAS OF PRECAUTIONARY ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY THE DRIVER AND OF MATERIALS USED IN TIRES NEED ALSO TO BE CONSIDERED.
