IRS990/Desc0RESEARCH: IN 2018, THE FOUNDATION PUBLISHED 21 NEW TRAFFIC SAFETY REPORTS, AND INITIATED 10 NEW RESEARCH PROJECTS. THE FOUNDATION FUNDED, MANAGED, AND/OR PERFORMED RESEARCH IN 2018 DETAILED IN THE FOLLOWING REPORTS (IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER BY DATE OF PUBLICATION): CRASH RISK OF CELL PHONE USE WHILE DRIVING: A CASE CROSSOVER ANALYSIS OF NATURALISTIC DRIVING DATA; AMERICAN DRIVING SURVEY, 2015-2016; PREVALENCE OF DROWSY DRIVING CRASHES: ESTIMATED FROM A LARGE-SCALE NATURALISTIC DRIVING STUDY; 2017 TRAFFIC SAFETY CULTURE INDEX; OBSERVED MAINTENANCE, DAMAGE, TECHNOLOGIES, AND ADAPTATIONS AMONG VEHICLES OF OLDER DRIVERS: A LONGROAD STUDY; MARIJUANA USE IN OLDER DRIVERS IN COLORADO: A LONGROAD STUDY; ADVANCING DRUGGED DRIVING DATA AT THE STATE LEVEL: STATE-BY-STATE ASSESSMENT; HIT-AND-RUN CRASHES: A PREVALENCE, CONTRIBUTING FACTORS AND COUNTERMEASURES; DEVELOPMENT AND PILOT TESTING OF THE DRIVING CHECK-UP: EXPANDING THE CONTINUUM OF SERVICES AVAILABLE TO ASSIST OLDER DRIVERS; ORIENTATION SESSIONS FOR PARENTS OF YOUNG NOVICE DRIVERS: AN ASSESSMENT OF U.S. PROGRAMS AND RECOMMENDATIONS; PROPERLY AND EFFECTIVELY ADJUDICATING DRUGGED DRIVERS: THE DEVELOPMENT OF ONLINE CURRICULA; VISUAL AND COGNITIVE DEMANDS OF USING APPLE CARPLAY, GOOGLE'S ANDROID AUTO AND FIVE DIFFERENT OEM INFOTAINMENT SYSTEMS; DISCUSSION WITH OLDER FAMILY MEMBERS ABOUT SAFE DRIVING: FINDINGS FROM THE AAA LONGROAD STUDY; LEVERAGING AND ENHANCING ALCOHOL COUNTERMEASURES TO REDUCE DRUGGED DRIVING; VEHICLE OWNERS' EXPERIENCES WITH AND REACTIONS TO ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS; POTENTIAL REDUCTION IN CRASHES, INJURIES AND DEATHS FROM LARGE-SCALE DEPLOYMENT OF ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS; COUNTERMEASURES AGAINST PRESCRIPTION AND OVER-THE-COUNTER DRUG-IMPAIRED DRIVING; ASSESSING FATALITY RATES IN CRASH INVOLVEMENT FOR MOTORISTS AND NON-MOTORISTS IN TEEN DRIVER CRASHES BY RISK FACTOR; THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VISUAL ABILITIES AND DRIVING HABITS AMONG OLDER DRIVERS: A LONGROAD STUDY; PREVALENCE OF POTENTIALLY INAPPROPRIATE MEDICATION USE IN OLDER DRIVERS: AAA LONGROAD STUDY; AND MEDICATION USE IN OLDER ADULT DRIVERS: AAA LONGROAD STUDY. FOUNDATION RESEARCH FINDINGS ARE USED TO SUPPORT NATIONAL PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS, SUCH AS 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. FOUNDATION RESEARCH STAFF PRESENTED THE RESULTS OF THE FOUNDATION'S RESEARCH AT SEVERAL SCIENTIFIC MEETINGS AND CONFERENCES SUCH AS THE MAINE IMPAIRED DRIVING SUMMIT, INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON TRANSPORTATION AND HEALTH, AMERICAN PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION, AND THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF TRAFFIC AND SAFETY SCIENCES. FINALLY IN 2018, WE INITIATED RESEARCH PROJECTS DESIGNED TO ADDRESS EXAMINING USERS' EXPECTATIONS AND ACCEPTANCE OF EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES; INVESTIGATING THE POTENTIAL UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF MIXING MOTORISTS WITH TECHNOLOGIES MEANT TO PROTECT THEM; EVALUATING THE IMPACT OF EXTENDING GRADUATED DRIVER'S LICENSES TO OLDER NOVICE DRIVERS; EVALUATING THE TOOLS BELIEVED TO IMPROVE TEEN DRIVER SAFETY; EVALUATING COUNTERMEASURES ON DRUG INVOLVEMENT IN MOTOR VEHICLE CRASHES; INVESTIGATING IMPLICATIONS OF PER SE STANDARDS FOR SENTENCING MARIJUANA-IMPAIRED DRIVERS; EXAMINING TRENDS, QUANTIFY RISKS, AND DEVELOP AND EVALUATE COUNTERMEASURES ON DRUG INVOLVEMENT IN MOTOR VEHICLE CRASHES; EXAMINING HOW OLDER DRIVERS INTERACT WITH TECHNOLOGY; IDENTIFYING THE IMPACT OF RAISING OR LOWERING SPEED LIMITS TO PREVENT CRASHES, INJURIES AND FATALITIES.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0EDUCATION AND OUTREACH: ALL RESEARCH REPORTS AND FINDINGS PRODUCED BY THE AAA FOUNDATION ARE AVAILABLE ONLINE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, FREE OF CHARGE. ADDITIONALLY, THE FOUNDATION PRODUCES COMPLEMENTARY MATERIALS FOR EACH PROJECT SO THAT VISITORS TO THE WEBSITE CAN FIND KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM EACH STUDY. THESE MAY INCLUDE FACT SHEETS, RESEARCH BRIEFS, INFOGRAPHICS, ETC. ALTHOUGH AAA FOUNDATION'S ONLINE STORE PERMANENTLY CLOSED IN 2016, FEW REMAINING TRAFFIC SAFETY EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS ARE STILL AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC UPON REQUEST, AT NO COST. ADDITIONALLY, THE AAA FOUNDATION DISSEMINATES ITS RESEARCH FINDINGS AND SAFETY MESSAGING TO KEY STAKEHOLDERS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC, WITH THE GOAL OF EFFECTING REAL-WORLD CHANGE. IN 2018, FOUNDATION RESEARCH FINDINGS WERE PRESENTED AT NUMEROUS CONFERENCES AND EVENTS, SUCH AS THE ANNUAL MEETINGS OF TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH BOARD, LIFESAVERS CONFERENCE, AND INSTITUTE OF TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERS ANNUAL MEETING. IN 2018, THE AAA FOUNDATION FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY CONTINUED TO POSITION ITSELF AS A LEADER IN TRAFFIC SAFETY RESEARCH, WITH THE RELEASE OF PROMINENT REPORTS COVERING TOPICS SUCH AS DISTRACTED DRIVING AND ADVANCED DRIVING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS. THE RESEARCH RESULTED IN EIGHT SUCCESSFUL NATIONAL MEDIA CAMPAIGNS THAT GENERATED OVER 363.5 MILLION MEDIA IMPRESSIONS. THE FOUNDATION HAS EXPANDED ITS EARNED MEDIA PLACEMENTS, GARNERING 32 PERCENT OF THE SHARE OF VOICE ACROSS ALL TOPIC AREAS, MAKING IT THE LEADER IN TRAFFIC SAFETY COVERAGE. THE AAA FOUNDATION HAS PROVIDED OUTREACH TO A RANGE OF AUDIENCES, CONDUCTED THROUGH MANY EVENTS INCLUDING CONFERENCES, FORUMS AND WORKSHOPS. THE AAA FOUNDATION PARTICIPATED IN MANY CONFERENCES THROUGHOUT 2018, INCLUDING THE TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH BOARD ANNUAL MEETING, JOINT ITE INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL MEETING AND EXHIBIT AND SIP-ADUS WORKSHOP ON CONNECTED AND AUTOMATED DRIVING SYSTEMS.
