Safety
In the SHRP 2 Safety research area, both
vehicle-based and infrastructure-based technologies will be used to
gather pre-crash, crash, and exposure data. The data can then be
analyzed and applied to safety countermeasures. Projects that comprise
the
SHRP 2 Safety Research Plan are shown in the Projects database, which is organized by project number. Click the project number for a description of the project activity.

Posted October 29, 2010
The SHRP 2 Naturalistic Driving Study (NDS) will allow us to record and study the driving behavior of a large sample of drivers in their personal vehicles. More information about the SHRP 2 NDS (including objectives, expected products, duration, budget, publications, and external websites) can be found on the SHRP 2 NDS page.

Evaluation of Data Needs, Crash Surrogates, and
Analysis Methods to Address Lane Departure Research Questions Using
Naturalistic Driving Study Data (SHRP 2 Report S2-S01E-RW-1)
Posted October 13, 2011
A large component of the safety research undertaken in SHRP 2 is aimed
at reducing injuries and fatalities that result from highway crashes.
Through a naturalistic driving study (NDS) involving more than 3,000
volunteer drivers, SHRP 2 expects to learn more about the interactions
among driving behavior and vehicle and roadway characteristics. In
anticipation of the large volume of data to be collected during the SHRP
2 NDS, several projects were conducted to demonstrate that it is
possible to use existing NDS data and data from other sources to further
the understanding of the risk factors associated with road crashes.
More specifically, the four projects conducted under the title
Development of Analysis Methods Using Recent Data examined the
statistical relationship between surrogate measures of collisions
(conflicts, critical incidents, near collisions, or roadside
encroachment) and actual collisions. SHRP 2 Report S2-S01E-RW-1:
Evaluation of Data Needs, Crash Surrogates, and Analysis Methods to
Address Lane Departure Research Questions Using Naturalistic Driving
Study Data presents the results of one of these projects. Report S2-S01E-RW-1 is only available as an Adobe PDF.
