Models of Driving Behavior and Personality on Toll Roads

Abstract

Belmera Toll Road (Belawan Medan Tanjung Morawa) is one of the toll roads in North Sumatra. Accidents on the Belmera toll road still occur frequently. The number of accidents in 2018-2022 involved single accident types with details of 120 single accident cases (63.16%), hitting fixed objects 48 cases (25.26%), hitting obstacles 1 case (0.53%), and hitting other vehicles 20 cases (10.52%). Accident-causing variables continue to be found along with the rapid research. The driving behavior and personality model is a model that continues to be developed. In this study, a driving behavior and personality model was developed using the associative research method, namely research that has a problem formulation regarding the relationship between two or more variables with a causal relationship. The development of the model obtained is that driving behavior has a significant relationship indicator to accidents, where the most influential indicators are fatigue, driving violations, and deviant behavior, which are respectively valued at 0.919, 0.867, and 0.861, while driving personality has an indicator with a significant relationship to accidents. The highest r value is an independent attitude with a value of r = 0.839, an indicator of the level of aggression with a value of r = 0.784, and anxiety with a value of r = 0.707. Driving behavior and personality are proven to have an influence on accidents. The results of the study are the development of a model that shows the relationship between driving behavior and personality to accidents. Indicators of driving behavior are deviant behavior, driving violations, alcohol users, driving speed, and fatigue. Likewise, for indicators of driving personality, there are indicators namely independent attitude, anxiety, level of aggression, personality traits, use of mobile phones, driving knowledge, and driving style. The relationship between these indicators is a novelty from the research conducted.
