... A P P E N D I X C Assessment of Availability of Roadway Data Elements in the SHRP 2 Naturalistic Driving Study Data Acquisition SystemBackground A preliminary test run of the SHRP 2 data acquisition system (DAS) was evaluated to determine what roadway data elements could feasibly be extracted in the event they are not available in roadway data sets from SHRP 2 Safety Project S04A (Roadway Information Database Developer, Technical Coordination, and Quality Assurance for Mobile Data Collection)
