Promoting bicycling has several health benefits at the individual- and population-level. However, safety concerns for bicyclists is one of main hindrances bicycling. Little work explored aberrant riding behavior, to best our knowledge, no instrument that measures behavior among been reported in literature. This study reports psychometric properties a newly designed measurement instrument, Bicycle Rider Behavior Questionnaire (BRBQ) follows methodological approaches motorized vehicle user...
Although the enforcement of seatbelt use is considered to be an effective strategy in reducing road injuries and fatalities, lack still accounts for a substantial proportion fatal crashes Tennessee, United States. This problem has raised need better understand factors influencing use. These may arise from spatial/temporal characteristics driving location, type vehicle, demographic socioeconomic attributes vehicle occupants, driver behaviours, attitudes, social norms. However, above not have...
Objective: Few studies have examined the differences in self-reported driver behaviour between drivers of one nationality who live their country origin (domestic drivers) and those abroad (expatriate drivers). This study aimed to explore among domestic expatriate Iranian drivers. In addition, we factors associated with accident involvement including personal injuries these groups. Methods: A web-based version Driver Behaviour Questionnaire (DBQ) measuring errors violations was distributed...
Despite the proven effectiveness of seatbelt use in reducing traffic casualties, not wearing a still contributes to substantial proportion fatal crashes worldwide. This problem has raised need better understand factors contributing use, particularly multi-occupant vehicles. Among these factors, behavioural determinants are difficult measure and their data readily available. These may have shared influences on vehicle occupants, causing choices be correlated. complexities prevented...
More than 16,500 people lose their lives each year due to traffic crashes in Iran, which reflects one of the highest road fatality rates world. The aim present study is investigate factors structure an extended Driver Behaviour Questionnaire (DBQ) and examine gender differences extracted among Iranian drivers. Further, tested association between DBQ factors, demographic characteristics, self-reported crashes. Based on driving culture, (36 items) Internet-based version was distributed results...
Interstate ramps are the location of more crashes per mile than any other segment interstate, yet commercial vehicle (CMV) drivers often left with last option parking along these segments for off-duty rest to meet federal hours-of-service regulations. Past literature has evaluated shortage CMV facilities and examined characteristics freeway ramp crashes. However, relatively little research studied influence deficiency on crash frequency involving parked CMVs ramps. This study 179...
The current practice of road safety attributes traffic crash costs to the location crashes. Therefore it is challenging estimate economic cost crashes and individuals who are more prone burden To address this limitation, study used home were involved in Knoxville Regional Travel Model (KRTM) region between 2015 2016. After geocoding addresses, 110,312 assigned Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) corresponding their per capita (ECCPC) was calculated for each TAZ. average ECCPC area $1,250. KRTM...
