| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 交通運輸研究所 === 86 === Traffic violation is very common in our country. It has
been recognizedthat people change their behavior in response
to the perceived probability and severity of harm. For lack
of risk perception and tight traffic enforcement, traffic
violations are getting more common and become the habits of
general road users. Hence how to break off the habitual
behavior of traffic violations is thought to be the most
important task for improving highway safety. This study is
undertaken to quantify road users'' habits for violating traffic
regulations and explore the influential factors corresponding
to them. We establish a conceptual framework to describe the
habitual behaviors of traffic violations firstly, and then
develop a method to quantitatively measure their habit. A
face-to-face survey is designed to collect the required
information for road users'' behavior, and the fuzzy set theory
is then used to formulate the levels of "habit" for traffic
violations. The relationship between the habits of traffic
violations and their possible influential factors are tested.
The results show that the traffic violation habits are different
on general roads and on freeway, the unmarried and male drivers''
traffic violation habit are higher than others. " Trill
and adventure seeking ", " risk perception of traffic
violations ", and "social norm " are also found to be the
significant factors affecting the traffic violation habits.
According to the study results, some strategies to improve
traffic safety are suggested. The results of this study
offer a set of valuable information about traffic violation
behavior , and provide valuable references for the
authorities of traffic safety education , traffic
management, and traffic enforcement.
