On December 12, 2025, the AIP Foundation hosted a Motorcycle Anti-lock Braking System (M-ABS) Simulation Event in Hanoi. This initiative was part of a comprehensive research and awareness campaign aimed at promoting the adoption of mandatory M-ABS standards in Vietnam.
The M-ABS Simulation Event in Hanoi showcased the technology’s impact on motorcycle safety.
The event provided policymakers, government representatives, media professionals, and the public with a hands-on opportunity to witness how M-ABS enhances stability and control during critical braking scenarios.
During the simulation, technical experts demonstrated the stark difference in braking performance between motorcycles equipped with and without M-ABS. This highlighted the system’s ability to prevent wheel lock-up during emergency stops, enabling riders to maintain control and avoid hazardous skidding, a common cause of road accidents.

Motorcycle Anti-lock Braking Systems (M-ABS) work by preventing wheel lock-up during sudden or aggressive braking. When a rider applies the brakes abruptly, especially in emergencies, the ABS monitors wheel speed and automatically adjusts braking pressure to keep the wheels rotating. This maintains traction, allowing riders to steer effectively, avoid obstacles, and stop safely.
In practice, ABS significantly improves vehicle stability and control, reducing the risk of skidding and severe accidents. The World Health Organization’s 2020 Southeast Asia Regional Office study confirmed ABS as a critical solution for enhancing motorcycle safety.
Vietnam’s National Strategy on Road Traffic Order and Safety (2021-2030) and the Ministry of Transport’s Action Plan (March 2021) both recognize ABS as a key safety measure, setting a goal to mandate ABS (and/or CBS) regulations nationwide.
The multi-year research and advocacy project, launched in November 2023 and running until October 2026, aims to evaluate M-ABS’s effectiveness in reducing road accidents and to support the development of mandatory M-ABS standards in Vietnam. By raising awareness and providing evidence-based insights, the initiative seeks to drive widespread adoption of this life-saving technology.
