Abstract

Despite statistics indicating that China has the world's largest taxi industry, there exists limited research about the relationship between workplace health hazards and taxi driver occupational crashes. In this paper, a cross-sectional survey of taxi drivers in four typical Chinese cities was conducted, and data on their self-reported job stress, health status, and daily risky driving behaviours, together with crash involvement experience in the two years before the survey was collected. Three hypotheses were then developed, and they were verified via multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) that the seriousness of drivers' health problems and the frequency of their daily risky driving behaviours could be the accurate predictor of their crash risk of taxi drivers. These factors were subsequently substituted in a bivariate negative binomial (BNB) distribution model to determine the joint rate of at-fault taxi drivers' involvement in property-damage-only (PDO) and personal-injury (PI) crashes. The results offer some useful advice for policy development to decrease and prevent professional taxi drivers from causing severe traffic crashes.

工作压力、健康状况和危险驾驶行为能否预测出租车司机的碰撞风险水平?来自中国的新证据。
尽管统计数据表明中国拥有世界上最大的出租车行业,但关于工作场所健康危害与出租车司机职业碰撞之间关系的研究有限。本文对中国四个典型城市的出租车司机进行了横断面调查,收集了调查前两年出租车司机自我报告的工作压力、健康状况、日常危险驾驶行为以及碰撞卷入经历等数据。然后提出了三个假设,并通过多变量方差分析(MANOVA)验证了司机健康问题的严重程度和他们日常危险驾驶行为的频率可以准确预测他们的出租车司机的碰撞风险。这些因素随后被替换为二元负二项(BNB)分布模型,以确定有过错的出租车司机参与仅财产损害(PDO)和人身伤害(PI)事故的联合比率。研究结果为政策制定提供了一些有益的建议,以减少和防止职业出租车司机造成严重的交通事故。
