“…7a, for the safety evaluation scores, we found a significant main difference among the four conditions (F r [3,23] = chi-squared = 34.42, p < 0.001). Furthermore, when there was no auditory warning, drivers felt much safer to be assisted by the in-vehicle traffic lights as the pairwise comparison analysis revealed a significantly higher score in the light-on with audio-off condition compared with that in the light-off with audio-off condition (z [23] = −3.83, p < 0.001).…”

“…However, it was difficult to calculate the postencroachment time for intersection VI, because of the low traffic flow at all-way stop controlled intersections. A field study reported that the number of conflicts at unsignallised intersections could be reduced when drivers completed stops at the stop line [23]. Therefore, we analysed stopping types to investigate driving safety at intersection VI.…”

“…Another challenge is weaving, creating turbulence, impacting progress, and resulting in low capacity and creating bottlenecks in road systems [ 96 ]. The leading cause of death in road traffic accidents [ 164 ] is the increased injuries sustained in road crashes [ 8 , 12 , 26 , 42 , 66 , 74 , 75 , 118 , 152 , 154 , 164 , 165 , 166 , 167 , 168 , 169 , 170 , 171 , 172 ]. Previous studies indicated that approximately one-quarter of mortalities from traffic accidents involved motorcycle drivers [ 33 , 47 , 51 , 159 , 173 , 174 ].…”

“…Features shaping the behaviour of drivers have not been recognised. Data on features of drivers’ behaviour have not been adequately diverse in representing the styling of driving, and real-time monitoring involves various errors [ 26 , 60 , 68 , 111 , 114 , 179 , 180 , 181 ]. Using certain fields concerning driving behaviour investigations might result in biased datasets [ 26 , 60 , 68 , 111 , 114 , 179 , 180 , 181 ].…”

With the continuous emergence of new technologies and the adaptation of smart systems in transportation, motorcyclist driving behaviour plays an important role in the transition towards intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Studying motorcyclist driving behaviour requires accurate models with accurate and complete datasets for better road safety and traffic management. As accuracy is needed in modelling, motorcyclist driving behaviour analyses can be performed using sensors that collect driving behaviour characteristics during real-time experiments. This review article systematically investigates the literature on motorcyclist driving behaviour to present many findings related to the issues, problems, challenges, and research gaps that have existed over the last 10 years (2011–2021). A number of digital databases (i.e., IEEE Xplore®, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science) were searched and explored to collect reliable peer-reviewed articles. Out of the 2214 collected articles, only 174 articles formed the final set of articles used in the analysis of the motorcyclist research area. The filtration process consisted of two stages that were implemented on the collected articles. Inclusion criteria were the core of the first stage of the filtration process keeping articles only if they were a study or review written in English or were articles that mainly incorporated the driving style of motorcyclists. The second phase of the filtration process is based on more rules for article inclusion. The criteria of inclusion for the second phase of filtration examined the deployment of motorcyclist driver behaviour characterisation procedures using a real-time-based data acquisition system (DAS) or a questionnaire. The final number of articles was divided into three main groups: reviews (7/174), experimental studies (41/174), and social studies-based articles (126/174). This taxonomy of the literature was developed to group the literature into articles with similar types of experimental conditions. Recommendation topics are also presented to enable and enhance the pace of the development in this research area. Research gaps are presented by implementing a substantial analysis of the previously proposed methodologies. The analysis mainly identified the gaps in the development of data acquisition systems, model accuracy, and data types incorporated in the proposed models. Finally, research directions towards ITS are provided by exploring key topics necessary in the advancement of this research area.

“…Forms related to unsignalized intersections were selected as they constitute a huge number among the fixed facilities on the road infrastructure of Malaysia [6,7]. Access points or unsignalized intersections are considered as one of the main contributing factors for motorcycle fatalities in Malaysia and are the probable sources where accidents occur [8]. The data primarily comprised of three-leg, four-leg and staggered intersections located in the state of Penang which lies on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia.…”

Accident Reporting Form (ARF) is the basic building block of an Accident Database. Incorrect and incomplete forms result into the formation of erroneous database which contains partial or no essential information required for the statistical analysis of accident data. Policies made on the basis of the results of such databases will have little or no effect on the improvement of safety of roadway facilities. In most countries filling of the ARF is the responsibility of Police/Investigating officers. Due to lack of interest, all the details are not recorded by them. Thus, it is very important to investigate the type of attributes and their respective items filled most. The objective of this study is to evaluate the attributes given most importance by the person in charge of filling the ARF and the items most neglected. The probable reasons for the complete/incomplete recording of the details of certain items were also examined. For this study a total of 642 forms were obtained from the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) for evaluation. Each form contained 91 attributes, as per number given in the accident reporting form known as POL 27. The items were divided with respect to driver, passenger, vehicle, pedestrian, location, road environment, road information and additional information. The fill-ability for each item was estimated in terms of percent filled. The items were evaluated in terms of least and most filled and the probable reason for the complete/incomplete filling of each item was then investigated. It was found that items related to location were most neglected. The second most incomplete items were associated with the vehicle and the driver. While the attributes related to the road and the environment were found to be the most filled. The probable reason for lack of fill-ability of location related items was their placement in inappropriate sections. The important finding of this study is the high number of items in the POL 27 which makes it difficult for the officer to fill the form completely and is the major cause of reduced fill-ability.
