Abstract

In India, road crash reports highlighted that more than 74,000 Powered Two-Wheeler (PTW) riders lost their lives in the year 2022 and risky driving behaviour was the primary cause of road crashes. It is apparent from the statistics mentioned above that PTW safety has become a major problem. However, existing literature related to PTW safety is still not vast. This research addresses a gap in the existing literature by focusing on examining risky riding behaviours and exploring a feedback as a strategy to enhance PTW safety. The present study employed a comprehensive data collection strategy involving GPS data alongside the videography data. The data were collected for 45 riders in two stages. The first stage data was used to examine the relationship between riding behaviour measures and crash risk. Moreover, the findings indicate a significant positive correlation between riding behaviour measures and crash risk. Particularly noteworthy is the identification of a threshold values of 0.12 g and −0.14 g are deemed more appropriate for delineating harsh acceleration and braking events, respectively. Finally, this study aims to compute a riding behaviour score and analyse the impact of feedback on riding behaviour. The second stage of data collection was conducted to assess the impact of feedback on riding behaviour. Results show that both feedback-only and feedback with incentives conditions enhanced acceleration and braking scores, with significant improvements observed for the feedback with incentives phase. These findings suggest that combining feedback with low-cost financial incentives can effectively reduce risky riding behaviour among PTW riders.

期刊介绍： Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour focuses on the behavioural and psychological aspects of traffic and transport. The aim of the journal is to enhance theory development, improve the quality of empirical studies and to stimulate the application of research findings in practice. TRF provides a focus and a means of communication for the considerable amount of research activities that are now being carried out in this field. The journal provides a forum for transportation researchers, psychologists, ergonomists, engineers and policy-makers with an interest in traffic and transport psychology.
