The aim of this study was to model bus drivers' crash involvement risk as a function of their demographic factors and driving behaviour. 177 bus drivers completed the bus driver risk index questionnaire. 19.2% of respondents had been involved in at least one at-fault crash during the past 3 years. In addition, age group and having a second job were found to affect the crash involvement rate. Smoker drivers reported significantly lower scores in patient driving and anxious driving factors. Results also indicated that vehicle ownership could improve hazard monitoring and thrill-seeking behaviours of bus drivers. Logistic regression suggested that drivers ≥55 years old are 5.4 times more likely to be involved in crashes, compared with drivers <35 years old. Model results also implied that the odds of crash involvement would decrease by 39% for each one-unit improvement in the scores of hazard monitoring behaviour. Implications are further discussed.
本研究旨在建立公交车驾驶员事故参与风险模型，作为其人口统计学因素和驾驶行为的函数。177 名公交车驾驶员完成了公交车驾驶员风险指数问卷。19.2%的受访者在过去 3 年内至少发生过一次有责事故。此外，年龄组和兼职工作被发现会影响事故参与率。吸烟者驾驶员在患者驾驶和焦虑驾驶因素方面的得分明显较低。结果还表明，拥有车辆可以改善公交车驾驶员的危险监测和寻求刺激行为。逻辑回归表明，与 35 岁以下的驾驶员相比，55 岁及以上的驾驶员发生事故的可能性高 5.4 倍。模型结果还表明，危险监测行为得分每提高一个单位，事故参与的可能性就会降低 39%。进一步讨论了其意义。
