Semakin maraknya fenomena anak di bawah umur yang telah bisa berkendara sepeda motor dewasa ini semakin memprihatinkan. Salah satu faktor yang ditengarai menjadi penyebabnya adalah izin orang tua terhadap anak untuk berkendara. Untuk itu studi ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan gambaran perilaku berkendara anak di bawah umur ditinjau dari izin dan persepsi orang tua. Responden studi ini adalah orang tua siswa SMP di 13 sekolah di Kota Tegal. Pemilihan sekolah dilakukan secara purposive sampling, dengan jumlah responden 711 orang. Instrumen pengumpulan data dalam studi ini adalah kuesioner yang disajikan secara online. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif kuantitatif. Hasil studi ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 37% responden yang melaporkan bahwa anaknya sudah bisa mengendarai sepeda motor. Mayoritas responden yang anaknya sudah bisa berkendara sepeda motor mengizinkan anaknya tersebut berkendara (64,3%). Terdapat 5,6% responden yang anaknya belum bisa berkendara sepeda motor berpeluang untuk mengizinkan anaknya tersebut berkendara. Mayoritas responden mempersepsikan bahwa anak di bawah umur sudah bisa berkendara sepeda motor merupakan perilaku yang berbahaya, tidak menguntungkan, dan melanggar peraturan lalu lintas. Diperlukan studi lebih lanjut untuk mengungkap faktor-faktor berperan penting dalam mendorong orang tua untuk mengjinkan anaknya berkendara.
The increase in population and the number of motorized vehicles is a factor causing the increase in traffic accidents. In the city of Pekanbaru there is an increase in the number of residents by 2.3% each year and an increase in the number of motorized vehicles by 6.8%. Traffic accidents in Pekanbaru were recorded as many as 576 incidents in the 2018-2020 period with the death toll increasing every year, added up to 38, 40, and 53 people. For this reason, this study aims to identify accident-prone locations, analyze accident characteristics, and develop strategies for handling accident-prone locations in the city of Pekanbaru. Identification of accident-prone locations is carried out using the frequency, AEK, and UCL methods. Analysis of accident characteristics is carried out using the 5W+1H approach. The results of the study indicate that the accident-prone location is the Jl. Siak II, Sp. Palas-City Boundary, and Jl. Yos Sudarso. Analysis of accident characteristics shows that the dominant type of accident that occurs is due to lack of anticipation with the type of front-to-front collision, involving a motorcycle, and occurring during the day. This study recommends 3 recommendations, namely: Traffic Engineering, Education, and Law Enforcement.
An example of aggressive driving behavior is the driver who immediately commits a violation when passing through an unsignalized intersection. Aggressive driving behavior may endanger other road users. Numerous studies have demonstrated that lowering aggressive driving behavior should lower the number of fatal and serious traffic accidents. Therefore, it is crucial to concentrate on the significance of driver behavior, especially at unsignalized intersections. The purpose of this study was to investigate drivers' understanding of appropriate behavior when crossing an unsignalized intersection from a minor road to a major road, to investigate the reasons for driver violations at such intersections, and to determine the relationship between cognitive and affective factors and drivers' behavior at such intersections. This study used observation, questionnaires, and interviews as the primary data-gathering methods. While the findings of the interviews were processed using Milles Huberman's theory, the questionnaire data were examined using multiple linear regression. The study's findings suggest that most drivers understand appropriate behavior while maneuvering from a minor to a major road; however, observational data reveals that 46.38% of drivers do not act on their understanding. Additionally, the driver's actions, such as feeling safe and being too indolent to stop the car, contributed to the infraction. The analysis's results also show that cognitive and affective elements favorably influence drivers' decisions at unsignalized intersections.
In the field of road traffic and transportation, road inventory activities are needed to monitor or monitor the condition of road equipment. The proper data collection will facilitate evaluation and supervision by managers or supervisors of traffic and road transportation. The data collection of road equipment inventory data can be compiled manually or electronically, which is integrated with the road equipment information system. One of the electronic data collections is by utilizing QGIS, which is one part of the Geographic Information System (GIS). This study aims to measure the effectiveness of using QGIS in making road equipment inventory maps using survey data and questionnaires to determine the difference between manual inventory data collection and WebGIS-based inventory data collection. Data analysis used SPSS calculation to test data validity, reliability, normality, Wilcoxon test and N-Gain Score test. From this data, it is found that the use of QGIS in road equipment inventory mapping has an average effectiveness of 60.26%, with the interpretation criteria being quite effective.
The important parties must be concerned about Bali's high rate of accidents involving foreigners. One of the likely causes of the collision is the driver's personal component. Due to this, the purpose of this study is to describe the features of traffic accidents involving foreigners and determine the most effective safety measures to reduce such incidents. A quantitative descriptive method is used in this investigation. Simple random sampling with 90 respondents was the sampling strategy employed in this study. In-depth interviews and questionnaires were also used as data collection techniques. The findings indicated that some characteristics, such as drunk driving, going over the speed limit, infrastructure, running red lights, and operating a motor vehicle on icy roads when it is raining, are the main causes of traffic accidents involving foreign people. Furthermore, there were three approaches to traffic safety management according to respondents from the highest to the lowest percentage. The highest was traffic engineering (42%), education and training (30%), and law enforcement (28%).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
