Abstract
This study aims to objectively assess the risk perception of young e-bike riders and clarify differences in risk perception among groups with varying individual characteristics. The participants were 604 Chinese youths. They completed an anonymous self-administered questionnaire on risk perception, and the results were used to establish a driving risk evaluation system for electric cyclists. Moreover, the IAHP-SPA method and cloud model were applied to assign weights to the evaluation indicators and quantify young riders' risk perception ability. Results show that young riders have an average level of risk perception ability. Young riders involved in traffic accidents, who received verbal education from the traffic management department, and who did not purchase insurance showed a lower risk perception ability compared to other young cycling groups. The results suggest the methodology of measuring the risk-perceived competence and providing recommendations for improving the risk-perceived competence of young e-bike riders.
期刊介绍:
Ergonomics, also known as human factors, is the scientific discipline that seeks to understand and improve human interactions with products, equipment, environments and systems. Drawing upon human biology, psychology, engineering and design, Ergonomics aims to develop and apply knowledge and techniques to optimise system performance, whilst protecting the health, safety and well-being of individuals involved. The attention of ergonomics extends across work, leisure and other aspects of our daily lives.
The journal Ergonomics is an international refereed publication, with a 60 year tradition of disseminating high quality research. Original submissions, both theoretical and applied, are invited from across the subject, including physical, cognitive, organisational and environmental ergonomics. Papers reporting the findings of research from cognate disciplines are also welcome, where these contribute to understanding equipment, tasks, jobs, systems and environments and the corresponding needs, abilities and limitations of people.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
