Project ID:	FHWA-PROJ-11-0171
Project Name:	Exploration of Integrated Vehicle-Based Safety Systems Naturalistic Driving Data
Status:	Completed
Contact:	Last Name: Lochrane First Name: Taylor Telephone: 202-493-3293 E-mail: taylor.lochrane@dot.gov
Organization:	Federal Highway Administration - Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC)
Office:	Office of Operations Research and Development
Team:	Trans Ops Concepts and Analysis Team
Roadmap/Focus area(s):	Not Applicable
Project Description:	The car-following and lane-changing driving behavior is different in work zones than during normal conditions. The overall objective of this project is to mine the naturalistic driving behavior dataset and extract instances when drivers were passing through work zones. This research will examine the data to determine whether driving behavior changes in work zones compared to driving behavior not in work zones.
Laboratories:	Human Factors Laboratory Saxton Transportation Operations Laboratory
