Purpose

• This paper main used questionnaire to investigate the parameters of people violations traffic rules.

• Used data to build a model evaluated those parameters.

Reference• There were high percentage of pedestrian

accident in chile. (Carabineros de Chile, 1996)

• The driver was as the culpable in the accidents. (Moyano Diaz, 1997)

• Many studies already applied the theory of accidents behavior on driver. (Parker et al.,1995; Parker et al.,1992a; Parker et al.,1992b )

Reference

• Previous studies showed that the driver bad behavior include violations, error and lapses. (Reason et al.,1990)

• Pervious Study found the young and man has poor ability to estimating risk. (Gregersen,1996)

• Older people has low commit violations, man more likely risk than women. (Parker et al.,1995,1992a,b)

Method

• Subject– 146 participants– Age： 55 younger (range 17-25)

91 older (more than 26)

– Restrict: driver license – From: Santiago

Method• Materials

– The questionnaire was developed from a driver behavior questionnaire. (Parker et al.,1992a)

– The used Likert five-point items.– The question include subject attitude toward o

f this aberrant behavior, subject norm and perceived behavioral control.

– The second instrument was “ scale of pedestrian behavior ” with Likert six-point items. About pedestrian violations, error, lapses.

Result•ALL parameters reach significant value.

Result

Result• Young people significant more attitude

towards behavior than adult (older).(t(144)=2.98,p<0.05) ,and subjective norm , perceived behavior control and behavioral intention.(t(144)=2.81,p<0.01 ,t(144)=2.91,p<0.05)

• The gender, status user, accident involvement were no significant different.

Result

Result

• Young people responses more violations (t(144)=-4.82,p<0.01), error (t(144)=-3.26,p<0.01), lapses (t(144)=-4.08,p<0.01).

• Men responses more violations than women (t(144)=3.77,p<0.001)

• The status user, accident involvement were no significant different.

Discussion

• Young person has high violation, errors and lapses. The result similar to parker et al. (1995, 1992a, b)

• Accident prevention and traffic education should require the pedestrian and driver compliance traffic regulations. (Moyano Diaz, 1997)

Conclusion

• Young people has more intention to commit violations.

• Men has more violations traffic rules than women.
