Influence of distracted driving of online car-hailing drivers on overall driving performance
Int J Inj Contr Saf Promot. 2023 Oct 24:1-10. doi: 10.1080/17457300.2023.2272242. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe distraction affects driving performance and induces serious safety issues. To better understand distracted driving, this study examines the influence of distracted driving on overall driving performance. This paper analyzes the distraction behavior (mobile phone use, entertainment activities, and passenger interference) under three driving tasks. The statistical results show that viewing or sending messages is common during driving. Smoking, phone calls, and talking to passengers are evident in cruising, ride...

Road traffic mortality in Iran: longitudinal trend and seasonal analysis, March 2011-February 2020
Int J Inj Contr Saf Promot. 2023 Oct 20:1-12. doi: 10.1080/17457300.2023.2272239. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRoad traffic mortalities (RTMs) and injuries are among the leading causes of human fatalities worldwide, particularly in low-and middle-income countries like Iran. Using an interrupted time series analysis, we investigated three interventional points (two government-mandated fuel price increases and increased traffic ticket fines) for their potential relation to RTMs. Our findings showed that while the overall trend of RTMs was decreasing during the study period, multiple individual provinces showed smaller reduc...

Multilevel structural equation modeling of willingness-to-pay for fatality risk reduction: perspectives of driver and district levels
This study obtained data on WTP derived from car drivers across Thailand, which covers 96 districts. The value of statistical life was 824,344 USD per fatality (2,296 million USD annually). The results of Multilevel Structural Equation Modeling revealed a statistically important insight. At the driver level, the Health Belief Model and sociodemographic exert influence on the intention to pay. The demographic factor that has the greatest influence on perceived risk and leads to a high intention to pay is the working age group (γ = 0.826). However, when considering the HBM, perceived susceptibility (γ = 0.901) emerges as t...
