Abstract

AbstractUnderstanding the common actions of risky drivers could be critical to developing effective countermeasures and improving public health. Pre-trip and on-trip choices might be critical parts behind young male drivers’ aberrant behaviours, which are the main causative driver actions. This study aims to investigate young male drivers’ choices and aberrant driving behaviours. 138 young male (age range 21–30), active drivers participated and completed the Adaptation of Advanced Decisions and Patterns of Travel Scale and the Driver Behaviour Questionnaire. The results indicate that tactical decisions are negatively related to aberrant driving behaviour. Younger drivers who make tactical decisions report fewer errors, lapses, and violations compared to others. The same analyses were conducted for strategic choices, and it is found that strategic choices are generally positively related to aberrant driving behaviours (young drivers with strategic choices report more errors and lapses). Interestingly, while tactical and strategic decisions and practices have mostly been studied for older drivers, the safety benefits of these types of decisions (primarily at the tactical level) may be higher for the younger driver population. Thus, the role of different types of driving decisions and possible disadvantages should be considered before encouraging drivers to adopt these types of strategies.Keywords: Younger driverstactical choicesstrategical choicesaberrant driver behaviours Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.

青年男性司机在战略和战术层面的驾驶选择和行为

摘要了解危险驾驶员的共同行为对于制定有效的对策和改善公共卫生至关重要。出行前选择和出行中选择可能是导致年轻男性驾驶员异常行为的关键因素，是导致年轻男性驾驶员异常行为的主要原因。本研究旨在探讨年轻男性驾驶人的驾驶选择与异常驾驶行为。138名年轻男性(年龄21-30岁)主动驾驶人参与并完成了“先进决策与出行模式适应量表”和“驾驶员行为问卷”。结果表明，战术决策与异常驾驶行为呈负相关。与其他司机相比，做出战术决策的年轻司机报告的错误、失误和违规行为更少。对战略选择进行了同样的分析，发现战略选择通常与异常驾驶行为呈正相关(有战略选择的年轻司机报告更多的错误和失误)。有趣的是，虽然战术和战略决策和实践主要是针对老年司机进行的研究，但这些类型的决策(主要是在战术层面上)对年轻司机群体的安全效益可能更高。因此，在鼓励司机采用这些类型的策略之前，应该考虑不同类型的驾驶决策的作用和可能的缺点。关键词:年轻驾驶员战略选择异常驾驶行为披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Crashworthiness is the only journal covering all matters relating to the crashworthiness of road vehicles (including cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles), rail vehicles, air and spacecraft, ships and submarines, and on- and off-shore installations. The Journal provides a unique forum for the publication of original research and applied studies relevant to an audience of academics, designers and practicing engineers. International Journal of Crashworthiness publishes both original research papers (full papers and short communications) and state-of-the-art reviews. International Journal of Crashworthiness welcomes papers that address the quality of response of materials, body structures and energy-absorbing systems that are subjected to sudden dynamic loading, papers focused on new crashworthy structures, new concepts in restraint systems and realistic accident reconstruction.
