In recent years, the growth of motorcycle-based ride-hailing and delivery services has led to an increase in traffic crashes involving these riders. Previous studies have indicated that the behavior of ride-hailing and delivery riders is influenced by work demands and individual characteristics. However, the extent to which risky riding behaviors depend on the type of riding and the interaction between road traffic context and risky behaviors remains unclear. Addressing these gaps, this study investigates factors influencing risky behaviors among motorcycle riders in Hanoi, Vietnam. By examining various rider traits (such as rider type, gender, and age) and aspects of the road traffic environment (such as police presence, number of road lanes, and weather), we aim to understand their contribution to risky riding behaviors. Through the observation of 9164 motorcycle riders (i.e., delivery, ride-hailing, and private motorcycle riders) at 31 intersections and decision tree analysis, the study underscores the significant impact of rider type on risky behaviors. Key findings include a higher tendency for both delivery riders and ride-hailing riders to run red lights, neglect to use turn signals, and the notable distraction of mobile phone use. Additionally, private riders are found to show a higher incidence of not wearing helmets even in locations with a police presence. These findings highlight the critical need for strategies to enhance road safety for all motorcycle riders. However, it is essential to recognize that the reasons behind risky behavior vary across different groups of motorcycle riders, from private to commercial riders. Therefore, we need more targeted strategies that address the specific factors influencing each group to effectively improve road safety for all.
近年来，基于摩托车的打车和送货服务的增长导致涉及这些骑手的交通事故增加。先前的研究表明，打车和送货骑手的行为受到工作需求和个人特征的影响。然而，冒险骑行行为在多大程度上取决于骑行类型以及道路交通环境和冒险行为之间的相互作用尚不清楚。为了解决这些差距，本研究调查了越南河内影响摩托车骑手冒险行为的因素。通过检查各种骑手特征（如骑手类型、性别和年龄）和道路交通环境方面（如警察在场、道路车道数量和天气），我们旨在了解它们对冒险骑行行为的贡献。通过对 31 个十字路口的 9164 名摩托车骑手（即送货、打车和私人摩托车骑手）进行观察和决策树分析，研究强调了骑手类型对冒险行为的重大影响。主要发现包括，送货骑手和打车骑手闯红灯、忽视使用转向灯以及使用手机明显分心的倾向更高。此外，即使在警察在场的地方，也发现私人骑手不戴头盔的情况更为普遍。这些发现强调了为所有摩托车骑手加强道路安全的迫切需要。然而，必须认识到，冒险行为的原因因私人和商业骑手等不同群体而异。因此，我们需要更有针对性的策略来解决影响每个群体的具体因素，以有效提高所有骑手的道路安全。
