FEASIBILITY OF USING IN-VEHICLE VIDEO DATA TO EXPLORE HOW TO MODIFY DRIVER BEHAVIOR THAT CAUSES NON-RECURRING CONGESTION (L10)
A report provides technical guidance on the features, technologies, and supplementary data sets that researchers and practitioners should consider when designing instrumented in-vehicle data collection studies. Includes a new modeling approach for travel time reliability performance measurement.

Incidents are one of the causes of nonrecurring congestion and driver error is one of the major causes of incidents.
The objective of this project was to determine the feasibility of using in-vehicle video data to make inferences about driver behavior that would allow investigation of the relationship between observable driver behavior and nonrecurring congestion to improve travel time reliability.
This project examined existing studies that had used video cameras and other onboard devices to collect data, and it determined the potential for using these data to explore how to modify driver behavior in an attempt to reduce nonrecurring congestion. The research team made inferences to identify driver behaviors that contribute to crashes and near crashes, and they proposed countermeasures to modify those behaviors. The report provides technical guidance on the features, technologies, as well as supplementary data sets, which researchers and practicing professionals should consider when designing instrumented in-vehicle data collection studies. Also presented is a new modeling approach for travel time reliability performance measurement.
Status: The project is complete.
