Abstract

Driving heavy vehicles with dangerous cargo involves various work environments that can significantly impact road safety. This research aims to study the impact of oil and gas tanker drivers’ work environment on driving performance to identify and address any issues that may affect their ability to carry out their jobs effectively. To achieve this, a quantitative approach was employed using a questionnaire survey adapted from the literature review. The data collected from a sample of drivers of oil- and gas-heavy vehicles were analyzed using structural equation modelling. The study’s findings reveal a significant association between the drivers’ work environment and driving performance, represented by a path coefficient of β = 0.237. These results highlight the substantial contribution of the work environment to driving performance, with an effect of 63%. Consequently, the study emphasizes the importance of considering the work environment as a potential factor when assessing and enhancing tanker drivers’ driving abilities during oil and gas transportation.

模拟驾驶员工作环境对油气重型车辆驾驶性能的影响:SEM-PLS

驾驶载有危险货物的重型车辆涉及各种工作环境，会严重影响道路安全。本研究旨在研究油气罐车司机的工作环境对驾驶性能的影响，以识别和解决可能影响其有效执行工作能力的任何问题。为了实现这一目标，采用了定量方法，采用了从文献综述中改编的问卷调查。利用结构方程模型分析了从石油和天然气重型车辆驾驶员样本中收集的数据。研究结果表明，司机的工作环境与驾驶表现之间存在显著关联，路径系数为β = 0.237。这些结果强调了工作环境对驾驶表现的重大贡献，其影响为63%。因此，该研究强调了在评估和提高油罐车驾驶员在油气运输过程中的驾驶能力时，将工作环境作为潜在因素考虑的重要性。
