Abstract

A new project brief, A Foundation for Safer Driving, summarizes the progress of preliminary research for the SHRP 2 Naturalistic Driving Study (NDS) as of April 2011. Driver behavior is the primary cause of most crashes, and the SHRP 2 NDS will be the largest study of driving behavior ever conducted. Although the SHRP 2 NDS is a complex endeavor, the research plan is driven by a few straightforward questions: How can we significantly improve safety? What questions should we investigate and which are most important? What data do we need to answer the questions? How do we collect the data? What’s the best way to analyze the data? What happens next? This brief describes how these questions are being addressed in the SHRP 2 Safety research projects, setting the foundation for safer roads ahead. (Author/publisher)
