1 Strategic Highway Research Program SHRP 2 Accelerating solutions for highway safety and performance Charles Fay, Sr. Program Officer GIS-T Boise, ID 2013
2 Second Strategic Highway Research Program ( SHRP 2) Naturalistic Driving Study C Fay Roadway Information Database O Smadi Q &A
3 Fact: drivers cause or contribute to over 90% of crashes Study goal: Improve traffic safety by obtaining objective information on driver behavior and driver interaction with the vehicle and the roadway(context) Collect data on the system: driver, vehicle, context Build the Naturalistic Driving Study (NDS) and Roadway Information (RID) databases Use the data: study key safety issues that can t be studied with other databases; use results to develop new countermeasures and improve existing countermeasures 3 pilot analysis projects underway
4 Existing Data characterize the environment in which the participant/ DAS operates: ~ 1950 DAS ~3000 participants ~ 5 million trips Passenger Car, Van, SUV, Pickup NDS Data (DAS GPS is Link) RID (GIS) roadway, crash, safety campaigns & laws, traffic, weather, work zones and infrastructure changes... New Roadway Data Collected and QA Application of Results: Safety Countermeasures
5 Method: continuous observation of volunteer drivers in ordinary driving for months or years What do drivers really do? Speeding, tailgating, cell phone, alcohol How do these actions affect crash risk? What were they doing just before they crashed? Usual crash studies can only guess. How do drivers react to cues and countermeasures from the vehicle and the roadway environment? Smaller previous naturalistic driving studies SHRP 2 NDS: 40 times larger, national scale; only one with roadway information (context).
6 ~ 4 petabytes of data ~ 1.4 million hrs of driving video ~ 3000 subjects (teens-elderly) ~ 5 million trips (continuously recorded) ~ 32 million miles driven ~ 4 billion GPS points Linked to the Roadway Information Database Provides context for each of the 5 million trips GIS: Roadway characteristics & features and other contextual information (crash histories, traffic, weather, safety campaigns )

11 Camera Image Samples Video 15Hz; H 264 compression 1.4 million hours Forward View - color Driver Face Rotated for max pixel efficiency Right-Rear View Center stack Pedal Interactions; hands Periodic still cabin image, permanently blurred for passenger anonymity (child safety seat use?)
12 Data so far as of April 1, participants, active or completed 4 M trips(5m), 23 M (32M) miles of driving 310 known crashes (more in database not yet identified) Near crashes estimated at 10x crashes 7 more months of collection; end 11/2013

17 Size: the file is huge 4 petabytes = 4 million 1 gig flash drives 5 M trips; 32 M miles of driving Complexity: different data types Categorical data constant over a trip: driver age, vehicle type Sampled data: collected at different rates (once a trip up to 640 Hz during a crash): speed, acceleration, GPS position, radar, Video data from 4 cameras; must be interpreted and reduced Automated reduction: lane tracker, head tracker Manual reduction: all other items for specific analyses Roadway data linked to trip data via GPS Privacy considerations: personallyidentifying data 17
18 Trip summary files Categorical data on each trip to help users identify trips of interest Trip, roadway, vehicle, and driver variables Reduced data Trips or trip segments for specific research areas: trips with drivers who peel out from a stop; trips on rural 2-lane curves Retain only NDS and RID variables needed for research area Event files: crashes, near-crashes, baseline Brief (30 sec.) data segments at events of interest Near-crashes defined by sudden braking, steering Baseline events defined in various ways: random; match same driver, time, and road Public data De-identified data in various formats 18
19 Trip summary files Initial files: summer 2013 Enhanced files, updates: through spring 2014, as resources permit Reduced data files For 3 SHRP 2 analysis contractors and FHWA researcher: spring 2013 For other users: fall 2013, as resources permit Event files: crashes, near-crashes, baseline Crash and some near-crash files: spring 2013; updated thereafter Expanded near-crash and exposure files: fall 2013, as resources permit Public data files Initial files: summer 2013 Complete quality-controlled data files available spring
20 Benefits of the Study (sample safety related) These data are not available one of a kind database(s): decades of use Value not limited to Highway Safety Asset Management Highway Operations Baseline for autonomous/ connected vehicle and infrastructure? Model for how the system operates now? Improved understanding of baseline driving behaviors: Trip characteristics Driver performance profiles Adherence to laws and basic safety practices Improved understanding of unsafe behaviors and traffic events: Assess circumstances and motivations for speeding, red light running, etc. Deconstruct crashes and near-misses and examine causality How do driver, vehicle, roadway, and environmental factors influence behavior and impact crash risk? Improved ability to develop safety countermeasures for: Education and training Roadway design and traffic engineering Vehicle design Regulation and enforcement Ability to direct countermeasures at driver subgroups
