Abstract

The study is based on a sample of 500 drivers taken from Rohtak district of Haryana in India. The four constructs viz. Traffic Rules (TR), Driving Responsibility (DR), Non-Driving Activities (NDA) and Risk Perception (RP) of study are defined by 21 items of the questionnaire. Structural equation modelling has been used to analyse the data. The results of the study indicate that there is significant effect of risk perception on drivers' attitude regarding NDA, driving responsibility and traffic rules. Traffic rules significantly directly and indirectly impact NDA. Driving responsibility and NDA are directly influenced by traffic rules. Driving responsibility directly affects NDA. Statistical properties are satisfactory to examine the effect of drivers' risk perception on safe driving attitude. The results of the study suggest that the state transport departments' focus on the risk perception of road accidents in driving training program can help in modifying drivers' attitude regarding safe driving.

驾驶员风险感知对安全驾驶态度的影响

这项研究是基于印度哈里亚纳邦罗塔克地区的500名司机的样本。研究的四个构式即交通规则(TR)、驾驶责任(DR)、非驾驶活动(NDA)和风险感知(RP)，由问卷的21个项目定义。采用结构方程模型对数据进行分析。研究结果表明，风险感知对驾驶员NDA态度、驾驶责任态度和交通规则态度有显著影响。交通规则对NDA有着直接和间接的显著影响。驾驶责任和NDA直接受到交通规则的影响。驾驶责任直接影响NDA。统计性质满意地检验了驾驶员风险感知对安全驾驶态度的影响。研究结果表明，国家交通部门在驾驶培训中对道路事故风险认知的关注有助于改变驾驶员对安全驾驶的态度。
