摘要: This report provides an analysis plan for the SHRP 2 Naturalistic Driving Study (NDS). High-priority research questions were identified in Phase I. Phase II identified the critical elements and issues to address in the analysis of the SHRP 2 NDS data and provided sample work plans for five high-priority research questions. The resulting analysis plan will guide the development of the subsequent Safety Project S08, Analysis of In-Vehicle Field Study Data and Countermeasure Implications, and assist researchers planning to use the SHRP 2 NDS data. The objective of the SHRP 2 NDS is to reduce traffic injuries and fatalities by preventing or reducing the severity of collisions. Every 1% reduction in crashes will prevent 330 deaths and about $2 billion in annual medical expenses and other losses from these crashes. Moreover, crashes are a leading cause of nonrecurring congestion. Collision prevention can reduce delay, fuel consumption, and emissions. The focus of the NDS is to provide objective information on the role of driver behavior and performance in traffic collisions and the interrelationship of the driver with vehicle, roadway, and environmental factors.
