Driving Volatility in School Zones Related to Crash Propensity

This dataset was delivered on: 06-11-2018 Project Description The main research issue is to use real world driving data to extract useful driving behavior information to enhance safety in school zones. Relevant in this regard is the concept of "driving volatility" that captures the extent of variations in driving, especially hard accelerations/braking and jerky maneuvers (Khattak, Nambisan et al. 2015, Kamrani, Wali et al. 2017, Khattak and Wali 2017). Data Request Scope The scope of the data request relates to time-series event data, event detail table, and questionnaire surveys data. The scope reflects the study objectives which focus on examining driving behavior and its implications for vulnerable road user safety in school zones. Data Specification Event detail table Time-series data for each event in event detail table (20 seconds for baselines, 30 seconds for safety critical events) GPS speed Network speed Acceleration X Acceleration Y Medical conditions medications table Medical conditions medications (exit) table Driving history questionnaire Risk perception questionnaire Risk taking questionnaire
