TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) SHRP 2 Safety Project S08 has released a report titled Initial analyses from the SHRP 2 naturalistic driving study : addressing driver performance and behavior in traffic safety that summarizes phase 1 work produced by four analysis contracts that were awarded to study specific research questions using early SHRP 2 naturalistic driving study and roadway information database data. The topics of the four initial studies are as follows: lane departures on rural two-lane curves; offset left-turn lanes; rear-end crashes on congested freeways; and driver inattention and crash risk.
