Assessing the Prevalence and Impact of Road Rage on Driver Performance and Crash Risk

Project Description This dataset was created to help determine whether aggressive driving leads to increased risk of Safety Critical Events (SCEs), and which driver characteristics and driving conditions, in combination with aggressive driving, ultimately increase the chance of SCEs. Data Request Scope The dataset includes vehicle, participant, and trip characteristics for crashes, near-crashes, and baselines data in the SHRP 2 NDS dataset. A total of 38,837 events are included in the table. Data Specification The dataset contains one file in xlsx format. The following variables are included in that file: eventID displayTripID anonymousParticipantID ageGroup sex eventSeverity1 eventSeverity2 frontSeatPassengers rearSeatPassengers contigTravelLanes throughTravelLanes trafficDensity distanceinKM driverBehavior1 driverBehavior2 driverBehavior3 driverImpairments durationTotalInMS numViol numCrash classification The definitions and specifications for these variables can be found on the InSight data dictionary.
