About this opportunity
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a civilian agency within the Department of Transportation, is seeking proposals for a contract to study telematics technology and distracted driving. The primary research objectives are to 1) analyze how smartphone-based telematics technologies can be used to measure driver behavior and performance, including distracted driving, and 2) determine if there are differences in distracted driving and related risky behaviors according to driver sex and age. The contract will involve two studies - one comparing the accuracy and capabilities of smartphone-based telematics versus traditional Naturalistic Driving Study data acquisition systems, and another analyzing the collected data by sex and age. The contract will result in two final reports, a journal article, and datasets. Proposals are due by September 3, 2024, with an anticipated award date of August 1, 2024.
This contract opportunity has no set-aside designation. The total contract duration is 60 months, but the specific award value is not provided. The work is to be performed in Washington, DC. The NAICS code is 541720 - Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities, and the PSC code is AS12-P - Transportation R&D Services; Surface Transportation, Public Transit, And Rail; Applied Research.
Notice text
The primary research question for Study 1 is: How can smartphone-based telematics technologies be used to measure information on driver behavior and performance in general and in terms of distracted driving engagement? Additional research questions include: When can smartphone-based telematics technologies be used for data collection? When are smartphonebased telematics technologies as accurate or less accurate than traditional NDS DASs in terms of recording driver behavior and performance (for distracted driving or in general)?
The primary research question for Study 2 is: Are there differences according to sex and age for distracted driving engagement and for risky behaviors related to distracted driving engagement for the data collected via smartphone-based telematics technology and NDS DAS?
Other objectives of this Contract are to:
1) Analyze the different kinds of data collection technologies available for studying distracted driving and driving, in general;
2) Use two (2) different approaches, i.e., the NDS DAS and smartphone-based telematics technology, in terms of data collection involving driver behavior and performance, in general, and in terms of distracted driving;
3) Analyze the two (2) forms of technology in terms of driver behavior and performance, in general, and in terms of distracted driving to ascertain accuracy of the smartphone-based telematics technology compared to the NDS DAS (Study 1);
4) Analyze the data collected by the two (2) different approaches according to sex and age for distracted driving engagement and risky behaviors related to distracted driving engagement (Study 2); and
5) Produce a final report for each study (i.e. two (2) final reports), a journal article, and data sets from each study and the raw data sets.
