... 64 C h a p t e r 6 Summary It may be helpful to recall the primary goal of this project: to develop and test analytic methods that could then be applied to data produced by the SHRP 2 Safety field studies. The general approach was first to identify interesting research problems and then attempt to solve them using data similar to what is expected from the field studies.

... 66 however, this system has the potential to provide data needed for structural modeling of crash and near-crash events, at least at lower-volume intersections. Conclusions are only as reliable as the data upon which they are based, and as described in Chapter 3, in many cases, the vehicle-based data from the 100-car study showed incompleteness, inconsistencies, or errors that limited the ability to use them.
