“…This result is quite reasonable, as parents who use CRSs tend to have various perceived benefits (such as reducing child movement and injury severity), whereas the CRS non-user group focuses on the comfort of parents when traveling. This result is consistent with several studies, such as that by Champahom et al [10], Jomnonkwao et al [12], and Ross et al [67], finding that perceived benefits had a positive effect on motivation and behavior during decision-making regarding the use of safety equipment to prevent serious injuries from road crashes. In both models, PB was found to have no significant effect on CRS use.…”

“…In this research, "disease" means a reduction in childhood mortality in road crashes. The HBM has the following factors [12]: (1). Perceived benefits of preventive action focuses on how people look for ways to stay healthy, prevent disease, or recover from it.…”

“…In addition, the attitude of giving importance to driving can increase the likelihood of using a CRS. Jomnonkwao et al [12] found that the motivation for helmet use in urban areas was mostly due to health motivation. HM was revealed to be insignificant to CRS use in both models.…”

In developing countries, there are no laws to enforce child safety seat use, so there is still a very low rate of use. This study aimed to understand parents’ attitudes toward CRS use based on the health belief model (HBM) theory. To find realistic policies encouraging the use of CRSs, the model was split into two sub-models: a group of parents using a CRS (CRS user) and a group of parents not using a CRS (CRS non-user). Using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), structural equation modeling (SEM), and measurement invariance (MI) to test the differences between the two parent groups, the CFA results indicated that there were six constructs based on the HBM. According to the individual models of SEM, in the CRS non-user model, no significant latent construct was found to affect the use of CRSs, whereas in the CRS user model, the perceived severity and the cues to action were significant for using a CRS (p < 0.05). The MI results indicated that the attitudes of the two parent groups were different. The recommendations for policies obtained from the study results include promotion aimed toward increasing safety awareness, public relations regarding CRS usefulness, and pricing strategies from the government sector.

“…Namely, these authors emphasize the difference for telematics of two-wheelers and provide a novel crash detection algorithm proved against the experimental data for this type of vehicles. This is of particular interest, as motorcycle drivers cause the highest number of accidents [20]. Other vehicles, such as heavy-duty trucks [21], have also been investigated, but this is out of the scope of our study.…”

Background: Unlike other financial services, technology-driven changes in the insurance industry have not been a vastly explored topic in scholarly literature. Incumbent insurance companies have hitherto been holding their positions using the complexity of the product, heavy regulation, and gigantic balance sheets as paramount factors for a relatively slow digitalization and technological transformation. However, new technologies such as car telematic devices have been creating a new insurance ecosystem. The aim of this study is to assess the telematics technology acceptance for insurance purposes. Methods: The study is based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). By interviewing 502 new car buyers, we tested the factors that affect the potential usage of telematic devices for insurance purposes. Results: The results indicate that facilitating conditions are the main predictor of telematics use. Moreover, privacy concerns related to the potential abuse of driving behavior data play an important role in technology acceptance. Conclusions: Although novel insurance technologies are mainly presented as user-driven, users (drivers and insurance buyers) are often neglected as an active party in the development of such technologies.

“…Further, the study of road safety is related to psychological or health behaviors. Several studies have examined drivers’ health and risk behaviors by applying related theories; for example, the health belief model [ 18 , 19 ] and locus of control [ 20 ]. However, these concepts are rarely used in investigating drivers’ valuation of road accidents.…”

Property damage and loss from road traffic accidents are a major concern in developing countries; thus, studies on accident damage in such countries may include more latent factors. This study aims to examine the effect of psychological perspectives and sociodemographic status on drivers’ willingness-to-pay (WTP) for road accident risk reduction, using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and the random parameters multinomial logit model with heterogeneity in means and variances (RPMNLHMV). The CFA results from interviews with 1650 car drivers in Thailand demonstrate that concepts of the theory of planned behavior and health access process approach are key factors for describing drivers’ behavioral intention and WTP. The RPMNLHMV results indicate that drivers’ demographics affected drivers’ WTP to reduce road accidents, and psychological perspectives were also found to have an influence on WTP. The results also reveal unobserved characteristics that could affect drivers’ WTP. The study concludes that ignoring unobserved heterogeneity in studies on WTP to reduce road accidents can lead to biased results and neglect important influential factors. The methodological approaches applied herein offer another layer of insight into unobserved characteristics in road accident valuation. These findings could be used to provide relevant authorities practical insights for policy development on road accident mitigation and road safety education programs in accordance with drivers’ characteristics.
