HOLD the DATES: SHRP2 NDS Webinars for State DOTs and Researchers
Introduction
Please join us for this series of webinars developed by FHWA’s Safety Training and Analysis Center (STAC) for State Department of Transportation research managers and safety, operations and planning staff as an introduction to the SHRP2 Naturalistic Driving Study (NDS) data and Roadway Information Database (RID). Safety, operations and planning researchers working with DOTs, TRB, FHWA, and other funding agencies will also benefit from attending these webinars.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the webinar series, participants will be able to:
The four webinars will discuss the following topics:
November 30th, 2016 (1:00 PM to 2:30 PM EST): This webinar will focus on the SHRP2 NDS data covering the driver and vehicle information. The topics covered include:
December 14th, 2016 (1:00 PM to 2:30 PM EST): This webinar will focus on the SHRP2 Roadway Information Database (RID). Topics covered:
January 18th, 2017 ((1:00 PM to 2:30 PM EST): This webinar will focus on the integration of the driver, vehicle, and roadway data to support addressing research questions. The NDS/RID integration webinar topics include:
February 8th, 2017 (1:00 PM to 2:30 PM EST): This webinar will focus NDS/RID research and outreach opportunities. Topics for this webinar include:

Data Anonymization Workshop in Sweden:
Around 50 people attended the recent FOT-Net Data workshop on Data Anonymization in Gothenburg, Sweden. The 2-day workshop, held August 31 to September 1, 2016, was an opportunity to gain insights into different ways of anonymization of field operational tests (FOT)/naturalistic driving study (NDS) video data. These data, which provide essential information on driver behavior during different driving scenarios, require a high level of data protection. The workshop covered multiple presentations by different stakeholders and discussions on various relevant topics including the role of data anonymization in vehicle automation. Ms. Hannah Rakoff from Volpe National Transportation Systems Center presented the U.S. perspective on Data Anonymization.

Phase 2 Safety IAP selections announced
In August 2014, 11 different phase 1 proof-of-concept research efforts were awarded through the SHRP2 Implementation Assistance Program (IAP). The research teams used a small set of data from the SHRP2 Safety databases to conduct preliminary analyses on topics in eight different safety focus areas. We are now pleased to announce that 9 of the 11 phase 1 studies have been selected to receive additional funding for more in-depth phase 2 analyses—using larger sets of the Safety data—that will lay the groundwork for development of future safety countermeasures. A list of the selected states and projects is attached to this announcement. Please click on the following link to learn more about these projects:

BAA Generates Strong Response, Eight Proposals Funded to Leverage SHRP2 Safety Data
Following a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), FHWA’s Office of Safety Research and Development received numerous proposals to leverage safety data from the Second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP2) to support traffic safety improvements. Ultimately, eight proposals were funded for Phase I; six were funded as contracts with FHWA at $100,000 per project and two were funded as cooperative agreements. Twelve different State departments of transportation were proposed as partners across the projects. [Read More]
