Abstract: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) proposes to conduct follow-up focus groups with participants from an earlier on-road instrumented vehicle data collection conducted that looked at both urban (Seattle, WA) and rural (College Station, TX) driving patterns with regard to speed. Based on speeding patterns in the data from the instrumented vehicle phase of this study, NHTSA plans to follow-up with these same subjects in focus groups to develop a better understanding of speeding and speeders, to look at urban/rural speeding and age-related differences, to develop a more accurate taxonomy of high/low speed driver subgroups (n=72), and to gain a better understanding of the motives – as well as attitudes and habits – of these subgroups, and explore attitudes and behavioral influences pertinent to various countermeasures (e.g., points reduction courses, speed awareness courses, engineering countermeasures, and automated enforcement) and the acceptance and potential effectiveness of the countermeasures. The focus groups will include discussions of speed choices and speeding behaviors and the factors that influence them, discussions of beliefs and attitudes toward speeding, reactions to and discussions about specific driving scenarios, and individual / group responses to various speeding countermeasures. The focus groups are expected to provide data relevant to descriptions of key motivations, attitudes, normative commitment to law, driving habits relevant to speeding and speeding countermeasures; descriptions of countermeasures with the greatest likely benefits; implementation issues and concerns associated with the countermeasures; and key advantages and disadvantages associated with various countermeasures. These focus groups, directly linked to the driving speed patterns of drivers in on-road vehicle data, will provide important new information on the reasons drivers choose to drive at certain speeds and what countermeasures would be most effective in reducing their speeding behaviors.
