... The successful completion of this research effort will produce an unprecedented database of near-crash, precrash, crash, driving behavior, driving performance, roadway information, and vehicle kinematics data that will allow substantial progress to be made in both the crash-causation and crashcountermeasure domains. By working to improve highway safety through a more comprehensive understanding of driving behavior, the SHRP 2 Safety analysis projects, which will be conducted as a series of studies under Safety Project S08, will advance the directives of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU)

... Safety Project S07 is tasked with conducting the in-vehicle driving behavior field study that will be performed at six locations throughout the continental United States. The key responsibilities include the following: • Participant intake, including consenting, assessing, and initiating participant compensation; • Installing DAS units on participant vehicles; • Retrieving hard drives on which the data have been collected and uploading the data to the S07 staging computer (which will automatically transmit the data to the S06 servers)

... Ultimately, this will lead to the production of a roadway database in a geographic information system (GIS) linked via an appropriate linear reference system, and merged with existing roadway data from other sources.
