摘要
智能车速辅助系统(ISA)是现代汽车中日益普及的一项技术。智能车速辅助系统(ISA)是现代汽车中越来越多采用的一项技术。能否充分发挥 ISA 的安全潜力,取决于驾驶员在多大程度上选择开启该系统进行驾驶。基于计划行为理论,我们设计了一种简短的在线干预措施(由宣传单和动画组成),以加强驾驶员使用 ISA 的意愿。一项随机对照试验的 1029 名参与者样本显示,与积极对照组相比,该干预措施在加强未在其通常驾驶的车辆中安装 ISA 的驾驶员使用 ISA 的意向方面具有中小型效果。这种效果在干预一周后和一个月后仍然明显。进一步的分析表明,干预效果部分取决于对 ISA 的使用态度,其基础是对开启 ISA 的利弊的行为信念的改变。结果支持使用我们免费提供的干预措施,鼓励驾驶员在购买支持 ISA 的车辆时自愿开启 ISA。
Increasing drivers’ intentions to use Intelligent speed Assistance: A randomised controlled trial of a theory of planned behaviour-based intervention
Technological advances can provide an opportunity to reduce road traffic crashes.Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) is one technology that is increasingly available in modern vehicles. The full realisation of ISA’s safety potential is contingent upon the extent to which drivers choose to drive with the system turned on. Based on the theory of planned behaviour, we designed a brief online intervention (comprising a leaflet and animation) to strengthen intention to use ISA that could be presented to drivers when purchasing an ISA enabled vehicle. A randomised controlled trial with a sample of 1029 participants showed that the intervention had a small-to-medium sized effect in strengthening intention to use ISA in drivers who do not have ISA installed in the vehicle they usually drive compared to those in an active control condition. This effect remained significant one week and one month after the intervention. Further analysis revealed that the effect of the intervention was partially mediated by attitudes toward ISA use, underpinned by changes in in behavioural beliefs about the advantages and disadvantages of turning ISA on. The results support the use of our freely available intervention to encourage drivers to voluntarily turn ISA on when purchasing an ISAenabled vehicle.
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.
