背景:驾驶员的攻击性行为是撞车和高伤害严重程度的根源。激进的司机是驾驶环境的一部分,然而,其他司机过度激进驾驶可能会使接收司机的注意力远离道路,导致分心驾驶。由其他道路使用者的侵略性和不礼貌行为引起的这种外部干扰受到了有限的关注。由其他驾驶员(DFD)引起的这些干扰可能会激怒接收者驾驶员,并最终增加撞车倾向。攻击性驾驶行为在南亚非常普遍,因此,有必要确定它们对分心和撞车倾向的贡献。
方法:我们的研究旨在使用通过在拉合尔进行的调查收集的主要数据来评估DFD的效果。巴基斯坦。总共获得801个完整的响应。定义了各种假设来探索潜在因素之间的关联,如DFD,焦虑/压力(AS),基于焦虑的表现缺陷(APD),敌对行为(HB),车辆相关分心(AVRD)的可接受性,和崩溃倾向(CP)。结构方程建模(SEM)被用作多元统计技术来检验这些假设。
结果:结果支持以下假设:DFD在接受者驱动因素中导致AS。进一步发现DFD和AS与APD呈正相关。然而,DFD,AS,AVRD。正如假设的那样,DFD和AS与CP呈正相关,表明攻击性行为引起的分心会导致压力,从而增强撞车倾向。
结论:这项研究的结果为进一步探索由同伴驾驶员的攻击行为引起的分心提供了统计学上的基础。Further,有关当局可利用这项研究的结果来改变攻击性驾驶行为并减少DFD。
BACKGROUND: Aggressive behavior of drivers is a source of crashes and high injury severity. Aggressive drivers are part of the driving environment, however, excessive aggressive driving by fellow drivers may take the attention of the recipient drivers away from the road resulting in distracted driving. Such external distractions caused by the aggressive and discourteous behavior of other road users have received limited attention. These distractions caused by fellow drivers (DFDs) may agitate recipient drivers and ultimately increase crash propensity. Aggressive driving behaviors are quite common in South Asia and, thus, it is necessary to determine their contribution to distractions and crash propensity.
METHODS: Our study aimed to evaluate the effects of DFDs using primary data collected through a survey conducted in Lahore, Pakistan. A total of 801 complete responses were obtained. Various hypotheses were defined to explore the associations between the latent factors such as DFDs, anxiety/stress (AS), anxiety-based performance deficits (APD), hostile behavior (HB), acceptability of vehicle-related distractions (AVRD), and crash propensity (CP). Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed as a multivariate statistical technique to test these hypotheses.
RESULTS: The results supported the hypothesis that DFDs lead to AS among recipient drivers. DFDs and AS were further found to have positive associations with APDs. Whereas, there was a significant negative association between DFD, AS, and AVRD. As hypothesized, DFD and AS had positive associations with CP, indicating that distractions caused by aggressive behaviors leads to stress and consequently enhances crash propensity.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study provide a statistically sound foundation for further exploration of the distractions caused by the aggressive behaviors of fellow drivers. Further, the results of this study can be utilized by the relevant authorities to alter aggressive driving behaviors and reduce DFDs.
