Heavy truck braking performance is affected by the maintenance of the braking system. If parts of the system are inoperative or not functioning properly, system performance deteriorates. This safety study focuses on 32 cases that involved heavy trucks with brake problems. Of these 32 accidents, one of the most prevalent vehicle- related safety issues was out- of- adjustment brakes.
