... 4Introduction The research team evaluated the effect of offset left-turn lanes on driver behavior using Naturalistic Driving Study (NDS) data recently collected by the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2)
From page 5...
... 5Research Objectives and Scope The objective of this research was to use the NDS data to address safety issues using analysis methods that were not possible or were not feasible before this data set became available. The results of the studies performed within this project were intended to lead to real-world applications that result in measurable safety benefits; to be applicable to a variety of roadways, vehicles, and drivers in the United States; and to provide insight to safety issues that could not be obtained through use of traditional data sets such as crash records.
