The NDS collected data from more than 3,000 male and female volunteer passenger-vehicle drivers, aged 16 to 98, during a 3-year period. Most drivers participated from 1 to 2 years. It was conducted at one site in each of six states: Florida, Indiana, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Washington. Data collected included vehicle speed, acceleration, and braking; vehicle controls, when available; lane position; forward radar; and video views forward, to the rear, and on the driver’s face and hands. The NDS data file contains about 50 million vehicle miles, 5 million trips, more than 3,900 vehicle years, and more than 1 million hours of video—a total of about 2 petabytes of data.The SHRP 2 Naturalistic Driving Study (NDS) was the largest and most comprehensive study of its kind ever undertaken. Its central goal was to produce unparalleled data from which to study the role of driver performance and behavior in traffic safety and how driver behavior affects the risk of crashes. Such research involves understanding how a driver interacts with and adapts to the vehicle, the traffic environment, roadway characteristics, traffic control devices, and other environmental features. After-the-fact crash investigations can only provide this information indirectly. The NDS data recorded how drivers really drove and what they were doing just before they crashed or almost crashed. The Roadway Information Database (RID), created in parallel with the NDS, contains detailed roadway data collected on more than 12,500 center-line miles of highways in and around the six study sites, about 200,000 highway miles of data from the highway inventories of the six study states, and additional data on crash histories, traffic and weather conditions, work zones, and ongoing safety campaigns in the study sites. The NDS and RID data can be linked to associate driving behavior with the roadway environment. The data will be used for years to come for developing and evaluating safety countermeasures designed to prevent or reduce the severity of traffic crashes and injuries.
