Highly automated vehicles (level 4) will be launched soon. This study explored factors affecting the acceptance of level 4 (AV) amongst public. The technology model (TAM), anxiety (TA), social influence (SI), facilitating condition (FC) and trust (TR) were integrated to develop a AV model. A web-based questionnaire was used for data collection from 693 Chinese participants. Structural equation modelling utilized analyze collected data. results showed that TAM is applicable explain effects FC...

Behavioral-based safety is an important application of behavioral science that can be used to address problems in the construction sector. An understanding worker risk-taking behavior deemed a crucial basis on which concerned authorities and companies develop effective interventions reduce accidents. However, no studies have been conducted examine effects climate, work condition, attitude toward risk, cognitive bias, risk perception through quantitative approach. Accordingly, this study aims...

This study aimed to identify critical factors that influence acceptance of automated vehicles among drivers. The focus this was on (AVs) level 3 (conditional driving automation) as defined by the Society Automotive Engineers. A research model proposed here using technology (TAM) with trust, risk perception (perceived safety and perceived privacy risk), compatibility, system quality. cross-sectional structured questionnaire survey used collect quantitative data from 237 drivers in Hong Kong....

Statistics showed that work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are the leading cause of productivity loss in construction industry. This study aimed to investigate prevalence WMSDs and associated factors among workers. A cross-sectional was conducted 380 workers Guangdong Province, China. demographic, survey Nordic questionnaire were used collect workers’ data. Descriptive statists logistic regression for data analysis. The results overall symptoms participants any body region during...

Truck-related accidents account for a substantial portion of traffic accidents. Risky driving behavior is main cause Understanding the risky truck drivers therefore important in reducing truck-related This study aimed to propose and validate research model that integrated theory planned behavior, sensation seeking, risk perception explain drivers. A total 471 valid data were collected from Chinese this study. Structural equation modeling mediation analysis used examine influence factors on...

This study aims to analyze the effect of management collaboration, leadership and decision making on intensity partner performance at PT SBA Aceh Besar Cement Factory. Sampling used a census technique, with sample size 127 respondents. Data analysis in partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) help SmartPLS program. The results showed that had positive significant direct performance. Management collaboration personal commitment, commitment very performance, but no...

In a rapidly ageing population, virtual reality (VR) technology is emerging as useful tool to meet the increasing demands for medical health, social interaction and entertainment older adults. This study explores factors influencing acceptance of VR among adults boost their use. The model was founded on incorporated personal such self-efficacy (SE), anxiety (TA), perceived enjoyment (PE) self-satisfaction (SS). Results revealed that SE, PE SS positively influence intention use technology,...

High accident rates have been a complicated and persistent problem in the Hong Kong construction industry. This situation has stimulated this investigation into factors that influence risk-taking propensity of workers. However, interviewing workers who had bad experience is problematic because changes attitude perception may occur as result such an experience. Using quasi-expert interviews can reduce problem. The objective study was to identify Semi-structured were conducted with 16 safety...

Risk taking among construction workers is a critical topic in safety research. The aim of this study was to empirically investigate how optimism bias and climate influence worker risk-taking behavior. A survey with designed questionnaire conducted collect data from workers. total 183 participated completed the questionnaire. collected were subjected statistical analysis by using structural equation modeling. Results show that related work risks positively influences behavior, whereas hazard...
