Evaluating the Relationship Between the Driver and the Roadway to Address Rural Intersection Safety by Using SHRP2 Naturalistic Driving Study Data and the Roadway Information Database

Abstract:

In this study, the researchers successfully used the SHRP2 NDS database and the RID to observe driver behavior at high-speed rural intersections. The researchers analyzed driver behavior at three different types of rural intersections: two-way stop-controlled intersections, T-intersections, and all-way stop-controlled intersections. The analyses covered the points at which drivers reacted to intersections, drivers’ stopping behaviors at intersections, and driver behavior surrounding safety-critical events. The analyses found that several factors influenced driver behavior at intersections, and those factors are discussed in the report. This research will be of interest to roadway designers, safety professionals, and others with an interest in rural intersection safety.
