Initial Analyses from the SHRP 2 Naturalistic Driving Study: Addressing Driver Performance and Behavior in Traffic Safety (SHRP 2 Report)
|
|
Greetings!
SHRP 2 is conducting the largest and most comprehensive naturalistic driving study (NDS) to date. In parallel, the Roadway Information Database (RID) will contain detailed roadway data collected on approximately 12,000 centerline miles of roads in and around the six regional study sites plus additional information about crash histories, traffic and weather conditions, work zones, and active safety campaigns in the study areas. In 2012, four analysis contracts were awarded under SHRP 2 Project S08 (Analysis of the SHRP 2 Naturalistic Driving Study Data) to study specific research questions, such as using the early SHRP 2 NDS and RID data to study lane departures on two-lane rural roads. In Phase 1, which concluded in December 2012, each contractor obtained an initial set of data, tested and refined their research plan, and developed a detailed plan for their full analyses. This report summarizes each contractor's Phase 1 work.
