“…These motives entail feelings of arousal and sensations but that there is also a sheer enjoyment of driving which provides a sense of independence, which could also apply when choosing mode for their children. However, there is no clear and unanimous consensus as to what these parental reasons are or entail (Lee et al, 2017 ) and this paper aims to gain a better understanding of what factors that drive parents to drive their children to school. Specifically, we investigate the relationship between environmental and sociodemographic factors and car choice, but also address parents' stated reasons that tap into sense of security, convenience, and the opportunity to accompany the child.…”

What Drives Them to Drive?—Parents' Reasons for Choosing the Car to Take Their Children to School

Children's school journeys have changed vastly during recent decades: More children are being driven to school in private cars instead of walking and cycling, with many who are entitled to a free school bus service still being driven. Earlier research into travel mode choice has often investigated how urban form impacts upon mode choice regarding school journeys—in particular how urban form hinders or enables the use of the active mode. This paper quantitatively explores parents' stated reasons for choosing the car and the relationship between these reasons and the decision to use the car to take their children to school. We additionally investigate the relationship between sociodemographic factors, distance, and both the stated reasons and the actual mode decision. A sample of 245 parents (194 women) of school children aged 10–15 in the County of Värmland in Sweden were included in the study. The results of PLS-SEM show that the factor Social convenience has a direct relationship with the frequency of car use indicating that the wish to accompany the child and the convenience of car impacts on car choice. If the child is not allowed to travel independently, the parents choose the car to take him/her to school. Sociodemographic factors had a direct relationship with the stated reasons, whereby parents with a higher level of education valued safety/security less. Quite surprisingly, distance (i.e., environmental factor) did not affect car use, indicating that parents drive their children to school regardless of distance. By isolating the particular reasons for choosing the car, this paper focuses on a potentially important missing piece as regards finding out what motivates the increasing car usage in children's school journeys. An increased knowledge of what motivates the decision to take children by car is important for effective policies aimed at changing parents' inclination toward choosing the car.

“…Transportasi aktif sangat berhubungan dengan kemampuan fisik, jarak menjadi faktor dominan yang mempengaruhi keputusan pemilihan moda perjalanan (Bigazzi & Lindsey, 2019;Grigore et al, 2018;Gutiérrez et al, 2020;Sharma et al, 2019;Zhu & Yoon, 2017). Disisi lain, kesopanan dan perhatian kendaraan bermotor terhadap pengguna transportasi aktif, terutama sepeda sebagai objek yang rentan terhadap kecelakaan, turut pula mendorong iklim yang kondusif untuk penggunaan sepeda (Asgarzadeh, Verma, Mekary, Courtney, & Christiani, 2017;Fournier et al, 2020;Grigore et al, 2018;Maciorowski & Souza, 2018;Meuleners et al, 2020;Ng, Debnath, & Heesch, 2017;Pojani et al, 2018;Sharma et al, 2019;Zhu & Yoon, 2017). Terkadang, pengemudi kendaraan bermotor sering ngebut, dan pada jalan dalam kota yang padat, sering pula tidak menjaga jarak aman, sehingga membuat resah pesepeda, terlebih pada model fasilitas dengan lajur tercampur tanpa ada pemisah fisik.…”

“…Saat perjalanan menuju tempat tujuan, kebutuhan fasilitas yang mumpuni mempengaruhi pesepeda. Sehingga cenderung menyukai pilihan rute yang nyaman, dengan permukaan yang mulus, tidak rawan kecelakaan dan sedapat mungkin menghindari kontak dengan kendaraan bermotor (Asgarzadeh et al, 2017;Grigore et al, 2018;Gutiérrez et al, 2020;Maciorowski & Souza, 2018;Meuleners et al, 2020;Ng et al, 2017;Pitt et al, 2019;Pojani et al, 2018;Sharma et al, 2019;Swiers, Pritchard, & Gee, 2017;Yang, Wu, Zhou, Gou, & Lu, 2019;Zhu & Yoon, 2017). Kekhawatiran lainnya ketika diperjalanan bagi pengguna sepeda adalah tindak kejahatan, seperti perampokan, pelecehan ataupun premanisme (Gutiérrez et al, 2020;Johansson, Hasselberg, & Laflamme, 2010;Zhu & Yoon, 2017).…”

“…Faktor cuaca banyak menjadi perhatian pengendara sebagai hambatan dalam penggunaannya (Asgarzadeh et al, 2017;Meuleners et al, 2020;Pojani et al, 2018;Swiers et al, 2017;Zhu & Yoon, 2017). Sesuatu yang dilematis dalam rangka mensukseskan transportasi yang berkelanjutan dengan upaya mendorong penggunaan sepeda, faktor polusi yang dihasilkan kendaraan tentu menjadi hambatan, sehingga banyak yang enggan menggunakan sepeda (Giménez-Gaydou, Cupido dos Santos, Mendes, Frade, & Ribeiro, 2019; Luengo-Oroz & Reis, 2019; Luo, Boriboonsomsin, & Barth, 2020;Maciorowski & Souza, 2018;Pojani et al, 2018;Swiers et al, 2017).…”

The Ministry of Education's "Excellent Engineer Education and Training Program" is a major measure to promote China's engineering education powers to engineering education powers. The program aims to cultivate a large number of high-quality engineers and technicians with high innovation ability and adapt to the needs of economic and social development, and to serve the country in the path of new industrialization development, building an innovative country and strengthening the country. In combination with the talent training model of excellent engineers, it is proposed to adopt the application-oriented engineer training mode, that is, adopt the "3+1" mode, three years of internship in the school, and one year of study in the enterprise and graduation design. As a teaching-oriented institution, the target orientation of engineering talent training should be emphasized and applied, laying a solid foundation for the next step of engineering master training. In view of the existing problems in the training model of automobile service engineering talents, the research and reform of the training program for automotive service engineering professionals is carried out in response to the requirements of the excellent engineer training program, so that it can better adapt to the requirements of cultivating high-quality engineers.
