| IRS990/Desc | 0 | RESEARCH: IN 2015, THE FOUNDATION PUBLISHED 13 NEW TRAFFIC SAFETY REPORTS, AND INITIATED 13 NEW RESEARCH PROJECTS. HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE FOUNDATION'S 2015 WORK INCLUDE:COMPLETED 3 IN-HOUSE STUDIES: TEEN CRASHES 1994-2013; PREVALENCE OF SELF-REPORTED DROWSY DRIVING, UNITED STATES: 2015; AND ADVANCING DRUGGED DRIVING DATA AT THE STATE LEVEL: SYNTHESIS OF BARRIERS AND EXPERT PANEL RECOMMENDATIONS.ADDITIONALLY, WORK WAS COMPLETED ON 15 STUDIES FUNDED AND MANAGED BY THE FOUNDATION AND CONDUCTED AT LEADING UNIVERSITIES AND OTHER ACADEMIC RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS: 2014 TRAFFIC SAFETY CULTURE INDEX; DID THE GREAT RECESSION KEEP BAD DRIVERS OFF THE ROAD?; AMERICAN DRIVING SURVEY: YEAR ONE MAY 2013- MAY 2014; USING NATURALISTIC DRIVING DATA TO ASSESS THE PREVALENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS AND DRIVER BEHAVIORS IN TEEN DRIVER CRASHES; USING NATURALISTIC DRIVING DATA TO ASSESS VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE CRASHING INVOLVING FLEET DRIVERS; DRIVING CESSATION AND HEALTH OUTCOMES IN OLDER ADULTS: A LONGROAD STUDY; THE SMARTPHONE AND THE DRIVER'S COGNITIVE WORKLOAD: A COMPARISON OF APPLE, GOOGLE, AND MICROSOFT'S INTELLIGENT PERSONAL ASSISTANTS; MEASURING COGNITIVE DISTRACTION IN THE AUTOMOBILE III: A COMPARISON OF 10 2015 IN-VEHICLE INFORMATION SYSTEMS; SELF-REGULATION OF DRIVING BY OLDER ADULTS: A LONGROAD STUDY; KEEPING OLDER ADULTS DRIVING SAFELY: A RESEARCH SYNTHESIS OF ADVANCED IN-VEHICLE TECHNOLOGIES: A LONGROAD STUDY; TELEMATICS, SAFETY DEFECTS, AND CONNECTED VEHICLES; LITERATURE REVIEW OF BEHAVIORAL ADAPTATION TO ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS; CANNABIS USE AMONG WASHINGTON DRIVERS SUSPECTED OF DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OR IN AUTOMOBILE COLLISIONS: ANALYSES OF WASHINGTON STATE PATROL DATA; AND CANNABIS BLOOD LEVELS IN ARRESTED AND FATALLY INJURED DRIVERS. FOUNDATION RESEARCH FINDINGS ARE USED TO SUPPORT NATIONAL PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS, SUCH AS GLOBAL YOUTH TRAFFIC SAFETY MONTH, NATIONAL TEEN DRIVER SAFETY WEEK, AND DROWSY DRIVING PREVENTION WEEK. THEY ARE ALSO USED TO DEVELOP EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, AND SUPPORT ADVOCACY EFFORTS OF AAA AND OTHER TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVOCACY ORGANIZATIONS. ALL OF THESE EFFORTS ARE ULTIMATELY DESIGNED TO INFLUENCE AND AFFECT REAL WORLD IMPROVEMENTS IN TRAFFIC SAFETY. FOUNDATION RESEARCH HAS ALSO SUPPORTED OUR NUMEROUS PARTNERSHIPS IN THE TRANSPORTATION AND SAFETY COMMUNITIES. WE CONTINUED TO SUPPORT THE UN DECADE OF ACTION FOR ROAD SAFETY, AND ITS TOWARD ZERO DEATHS VISION, AND OTHER NATIONAL STRATEGIES, CAMPAIGNS. WE ALSO PARTICIPATED IN AN EXPERT PANEL CONVENED BY THE NATIONAL SLEEP FOUNDATION TO DEVELOP A CONSENSUS STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY REGARDING THE LEVEL OF ACUTE SLEEP DEPRIVATION BEYOND WHICH THE VAST MAJORITY OF DRIVERS WOULD BE TOO IMPAIRED BY FATIGUE TO DRIVE SAFELY, AND HOSTED A MEETING OF KEY INDUSTRY STAKEHOLDERS TO DISCUSS COGNITIVE DISTRACTION FINDINGS AND FUTURE PLANS. FINALLY, IN 2015 WE INITIATED RESEARCH PROJECTS DESIGNED TO ADDRESS DRUGGED DRIVING COUNTERMEASURES AND JUDICIAL TRAINING FOR OFFENDERS; THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A COMPREHENSIVE CENTER TO STUDY DRIVER DISTRACTION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH; AN EVALUATION OF TRUCK SAFETY TECHNOLOGIES; THE RISK OF SMARTPHONE USE ON CRASH RISK; EVALUATING THE IMPACT OF PARENT SESSIONS ON TEEN DRIVER LEARNING; AND HIGHWAY INFRASTRUCTURE SAFETY. SEVERAL STUDIES WERE INITIATED RELEVANT TO THE PROJECT OBJECTIVES OF THE LONGROAD (LONGITUDINAL STUDY ON AGING DRIVERS) STUDY, AS THE AAA FOUNDATION FOCUSES ON WAYS TO KEEP SENIORS SAFE AND MOBILE AS A TOP PRIORITY. |
