This research investigated how behaviours and attitudes of bicycle riders influence crash frequency and severity. The study recruited 1102 Australian bicycle riders for an online survey. The survey comprised questions on demographics, frequency of riding and the number and severity of traffic crashes during the last five years. The survey included the Cycling Behaviour Questionnaire and the Cyclist Risk Perception and Regulation Scale. Overall, there were low levels of errors and violations reported by participants indicating that these behaviours were on average never or rarely exhibited while riding a bicycle. Conversely, participants reported high levels of engagement in positive behaviours and reported high levels of traffic rule knowledge and risk perception. Higher rates of violations and errors were associated with increased crash likelihood, while higher rates of positive behaviours were associated with reduced rates of crash involvement in a period of 5 years. The findings highlight the relationship between errors, total crashes and crash severity Further promotion of positive behaviours amongst riders may also help to reduce the risk of crashes.
本研究调查了自行车骑行者的行为和态度如何影响撞车频率和严重程度。该研究招募了1102名澳大利亚自行车骑行者进行在线调查。该调查包括有关人口统计学、骑行频率以及过去五年中交通事故的数量和严重程度的问题。调查包括《骑行行为问卷》和《骑行者风险感知与规则量表》。总体而言，参与者报告的错误和违规行为水平较低，表明这些行为在骑自行车时平均从未或很少出现。相反，参与者报告积极行为的参与度较高，并且报告的交通规则知识和风险感知水平较高。违规和错误发生率较高与撞车可能性增加相关，而积极行为发生率较高与5年内撞车参与率降低相关。研究结果突出了错误、总撞车次数和撞车严重程度之间的关系。进一步促进骑行者中的积极行为也可能有助于降低撞车风险。
