This study explored two major problems of China's traffic and reviewed the human factors research in road safety published in Chinese journals.
A comprehensive search of Chinese journals related to road safety was conducted. Forty-three studies were found and reviewed in this article.
One problem is pedestrians and bicyclists crossing streets and their interactions with vehicle drivers. The other is aggressive driving, such as frequently changing lanes, tailgating, moving forward, and obstructing the path of others. All the reviewed studies were classified into 4 categories according to the research topics: driver capacity, driving style, driver fatigue, and traffic accidents. Driver capacity research studied Chinese drivers' physical and mental abilities, including information processing, vision, reaction, attention distribution, and mental workload, and their differences between accident and non-accident drivers. Driving style research explored the influence of drivers' personality traits, psychological stress, temperament types, and mood on their behavior and accident involvement. It was found that accident and non-accident drivers were significantly different in sympathy, perseverance, aggressiveness, cooperativeness, and anxiety. In studies of driver fatigue, researchers investigated the impact of driving time, time of a day, road environment, age, and driving experience on drivers' capacities and performance. The characteristics of China's traffic accidents and road alignment of accident-prone roads were analyzed in the traffic accident research.
We determined the gap between existing research and the two salient problems of China's traffic and pointed out directions for future research.
本研究探讨了中国交通的两个主要问题，并回顾了发表在中文期刊上的道路安全人为因素研究。
对与道路安全相关的中文期刊进行了全面检索。本文共检索到 43 项研究并进行了综述。
一个问题是行人和骑自行车的人过马路以及他们与车辆驾驶员的相互作用。另一个问题是攻击性驾驶，例如频繁变道、跟车行驶、抢行和阻碍他人通行。所有综述的研究均根据研究主题分为 4 类：驾驶员能力、驾驶风格、驾驶员疲劳和交通事故。驾驶员能力研究研究了中国驾驶员的身心能力，包括信息处理、视力、反应、注意力分配和精神工作负荷，以及事故驾驶员和非事故驾驶员之间的差异。驾驶风格研究探讨了驾驶员的个性特征、心理压力、气质类型和情绪对其行为和事故参与的影响。研究发现，事故驾驶员和非事故驾驶员在同情心、毅力、攻击性、合作性和焦虑方面存在显著差异。在驾驶员疲劳研究中，研究人员调查了驾驶时间、一天中的时间、道路环境、年龄和驾驶经验对驾驶员能力和性能的影响。分析了中国交通事故的特点和事故多发道路的道路布局。
我们确定了现有研究与中国交通的两个突出问题之间的差距，并指出了未来研究的方向。
