Abstract:Speeding-related crashes are a serious problem in the United States. Most drivers admit to speeding at least some of the time, but there are subgroups of the driving population who tend to speed more often. Traditional speed management practices have failed to deter many of the more egregious habitual speeders. One promising new approach for addressing this speeding problem is a vehicle-based monitoring and feedback system. This study examined the feasibility of a speed-monitoring system that provided feedback to at-risk drivers (chronic speeders). The research team first reviewed available monitoring and feedback products and selected a device for use in a naturalistic field study that provided real-time, tailored feedback to drivers on the posted speed limit for roads on which they were driving. A focus group was then conducted with a small group of habitual speeders to explore issues related to the study design and gather feedback on the selected device from the perspective of this target population.
