Summary:碩士 === 逢甲大學 === 交通工程與管理所 === 92 === Abstract Bus transportation is one of the major mass transportation modes in Taiwan area. Meanwhile, the bus transportation also carries a lot of passenger volumes both in inter-city transportation and metropolitan transportation. There are 1,282 cases of traffic accidents of bus transportation in 2000, and 43% accidents are caused by the bus transportation companies. The total traffic accidents results 56 fatalities, and 579 injured. Therefore, The transportation safety of bus transportation company has closing relationship with the life and properties of the public. From the bus transportation company point of view, if bus has accident, it will reduce the income and damage the image of company. Furthermore, it will reduce the passenger’s willing to take the bus again. Also, if the accident responsibility is belonging to the bus company, the insurance company will raise the insurance premium. Therefore, if an accident occurs, it will increase the expenditure and reduce the income for a bus transportation company. In addition, from the former studies, it shows that the traffic accidents of bus will happen are due to the management system of the company and bus driver. Therefore, this study will focus the relationship between the management system of the company and bus driver. There are two parts in this study, in the first part, we use the 138 cases of traffic accidents of XX transportation company in middle Taiwan from 1999 to 2002, and analyze its accidents and insurance compensation. Then, in the second part, we use the questionnaire investigation about 304 drivers, and the effective questionnaires are 251. The questionnaire items include the level of education, seniority, age, the management system of the company, driver’s behavior, and vehicle’s management system/ environment factors. Then we conduct the statistical analysis and cross analysis among variables. Finally, we use the Linear Structural Equation Modeling (LISREL) to explore the relationship among driver, driver’s behavior, and vehicle. The major results show that (1) the relationship between the management system of the company and the management system of vehicles has positive correlation, (2) the relationship between the management system of the company and driver’s behavior has positive correlation, (3) the relationship between the management system of the company and the diver has positive correlation, and (4) the relationship between the driver and driver’s behavior has the positive correlation Key word: the management system of the company, driver’s behavior, traffic accident, bus transportation company, Linear Structural Equation Modeling
