An application of the theory of planned behaviour to truck driving behaviour and compliance with regulations

Social Cognitive Antecedents of Fruit and Vegetable Consumption in Truck Drivers: A Sequential Mediation Analysis

“…15 There are many negative effects of unhealthy eating that can have implications for the safety of the truck driver and other road users: for example, traffic accidents occurring owing to health complications. 15,16 Thus, there is a need for research to examine social cognitive factors that may predict fruit and vegetable consumption in long-haul truck drivers. Such an understanding can inform policies and programs to curb unhealthy eating and improve healthy eating for Australia's truck drivers.…”

Conceptual and Methodological Issues in Evaluations of Road Safety Countermeasures

“…That is, the causal mechanisms to conceptualize how an intervention should work may include many components that are extended over different periods of time involving "long chains of cascading direct and indirect effects" that are context dependent and may have delayed, diffuse and subtle outcomes [45] (p. 8). Deterrence theory, safety culture theory, theory of planned behaviour and problem behaviour theory are some examples of change theories that can identify a set of putative causal processes through which a person would engage in safer driving behaviour [24,[46][47][48][49][50]. For example, Warner and Äberg [49] found that the theory of planned behaviour predicted speeding behaviour.…”

“…For example, Warner and Äberg [49] found that the theory of planned behaviour predicted speeding behaviour. Similarly, Poulter et al [50] identified pathways from the theory of planned behaviour that predicted truck driver behaviour and compliance with regulation and possible interventions to tackle these behaviours.…”

Evaluation of the process of mileage growth during the operation of motor trucks, in several categories of engine cubic capacity

“…This characteristic feature of the motor truck mileage is confirmed by multiannual statistics. For illustration: the average annual mileage of such vehicles in the UK has been determined as 79 000 km with a standard deviation of 63 000 km, according to [17].…”
