碩士 === 東海大學 === 統計學系 === 85 === This study was focused to investigate the connections of traffic accidents and driving behaviors through collecting and analyzing the self-reported questionnaires by those drivers who have the record of traffic violation. A factorized driving behavior questionnaire (FDBQ) which combines driver behavior questionnaire (DBQ) and driving behavior inventory (DBI) has been developed to accommodate the local traffic conditions in Taiwan so as to make the questionnaire more representative. In the statistical analysis processes, eight common factors were selected and named, including driving aggression, speeding violation, driving stress from overtaking and being overtaken, inattentive error, operation error, driving alertness, driving anxiety and the willingness of driving. Based on obtained accident risk likelihood the drivers were split into high-risk and low-risk group. The drivers in high-risk group were found to be significantly prone to having high driving aggression and high speeding violation rate. The results also indicated that the level of risk likelihood decreased with the increasing of driver''''''''s age and male drivers appeared to have higher accident risk than female drivers. In additions, those people who reported to have been convicting over speeding and license suspended were also found to have high risk of driving accident.
