“…This means that when a teenage driver violates traffic rules, he/she is 5.7 times more likely to experience an accident compared to an adult driver, as shown in Figure 6. This aligns with studies conducted by (Muley et al, 2022;Lyon et al, 2020;Ali & Haque, 2023;Katrakazas et al, 2020;Jannusch et al, 2021;Brands et al, 2022). Based on survey results, among the total number of motorcyclists who violated traffic rules, 50.67% slept for 6 hours or less at the night before the accident, 22.67% were in poor-performance condition and 26.67% drove motorcycles with engine capacities above 125 cc.…”

“…Several traffic violations commonly committed by young riders include less-frequent use of turn signals (Muley et al, 2022), frequent use of mobile phones while driving (Lyon et al, 2020;Ali & Haque, 2023;Katrakazas et al, 2020), speeding and using illicit substances (Jannusch et al, 2021). Research conducted in the Netherlands indicated that 10% of accidents involving riders are caused by mobile-phone usage (Brands et al, 2022). Furthermore, young riders not only lack driving experience, but also exhibit less-stable emotional states, which influences their behavior while driving and significantly increases the risk of accidents (Megías-Robles et al, 2022;Maghelal et al, 2023).…”

This research places emphasis on strategies for enhancing traffic safety among adolescent and adult motorcycle riders. 87.36% of accidents in Indonesia involved motorcycle riders and approximately 25% of these accidents involve underage riders. Therefore, a reasonable solution is needed to reduce the number of accidents in Indonesia. The criteria for respondents in this study were adolescent and adult motorcycle riders. The respondents were interviewed for approximately 10 minutes. The total sample amounted to 530 respondents. The research was conducted in Riau province, Indonesia. The research results indicate that adolescent riders are about 4 times more likely to experience accidents compared to adult riders. Model validation demonstrates an accuracy level of up to 89% for the obtained model. The findings of this research suggest strategies for enhancing the safety of both adolescent and adult motorcycle riders, including advising riders to drive their motorcycles in good stamina and performance, advising riders to rest when fatigued, advising riders not to ride between 12:00 AM and 06:00 AM, enforcing strict measures by law enforcement to apprehend riders without a valid driving license, exercising caution when crossing straight roads and roads with non-variable roadside variability. Another finding from this research is that the model in this research took 3 factor types into consideration that cause accidents including human factors, road and environmental factors and vehicle factor. Then, these factors are modeled simultaneously. Keywords: Adolescent, Adult, Motorcycle, Riders, Safety, Strategies.

“…This means that the effect of violating traffic rules will increase the probability of severe injury by 5%. This research is in line with research conducted by [4,[7][8][9][10][11][12]. Scenario 4 shows the effect of driving duration on the level of fatigue and the accident severity.…”

“…This vehicle is less stable and lacks protection for the driver while driving, resulting in greater risk of accident severity. In general, young drivers have very little experience in driving compared to adult drivers [3] which results in young drivers tending to commit more traffic violations due to mistakes or ignorance of traffic rules [4].This certainly results in young drivers having the potential to experience accidents [5] compared to experienced drivers who tend to drive more effectively [6].Unfortunately, the tendency for young drivers to commit traffic violations is well documented [7][8][9][10][11][12].Additionally, stress factors caused by work can also influence risky behavior when driving [13,14]. Other researchers state that personality and attitude factors also influence risky behavior when driving [15].In general, young drivers are less stable mentally and emotionally, increasing their risk of accidents [16,17].The accident rate at a young age is quite high compared to adult drivers, however this accident rate rises again for drivers aged 60-69 years [18].In general, young drivers' risks are influenced by road type, visibility conditions, gender [19], and speed [20].…”

Statistical data in 2021 in Indonesia shows that the number of accident victims reached 103,645 cases. Around 25% of these accident victims were underage drivers. For this reason, efforts must be made to minimize the number of accident victims, especially avoiding severe injuries. The criteria for respondents are motorcycle riders aged 12 - 25 years who are still categorized as adolescent riders. The data collection was carried out by interviewing respondents for approximately 10 minutes. For data analysis, the number of respondents used was 308 respondents. The location for data collection was Riau Province, Indonesia. The data was analyzed by Bayesian network. To get a good model, the basic model was validated. The number of respondents used to validate this model was 107 respondents. The results of the analysis show that the probability of an adolescent driver to experience severe injury is 27% and mild injury is 73%.Scenario 1 shows that poor driving performance will increase the probability of severe injury by 3%.Scenario 2 shows that driver fatigue will increase the probability of severe injury by 3%.Scenario 3 shows that drivers who conduct traffic violations will increase the probability of severe injury by 5%.Scenario 4 shows that drivers who perform long trips(more than 1 hour) increase their fatigue from 28% to 60%, which also increases the probability of severe injury by 1%.Scenario 5 shows that late night driving (between 24:00 – 06:00) not only increases the probability of fatigue but also increases the probability of severe injury by 1%.Strategic steps to reduce severe injury among adolescent motorcyclists include driving with good performance, avoiding fatigue-inducing conditions, abiding by all traffic rules, and avoiding driving between the hours of 24:00-06:00. ABSTRAK: Data statistik pada tahun 2021 di Indonesia menunjukkan jumlah mangsa kemalangan mencapai 103,645 kes. Kira-kira 25% mangsa kemalangan ini adalah pemandu bawah umur. Oleh itu, usaha perlu dilaksanakan bagi meminimumkan mangsa kemalangan, terutama dalam mengelakkan kecederaan parah. Kriteria responden adalah penunggang motosikal berumur 12 - 25 tahun yang masih dikategori sebagai penunggang remaja. Pengumpulan data dijalankan dengan menemu bual responden selama lebih kurang 10 minit. Analisis data ini melibatkan 308 orang responden. Lokasi pengumpulan data adalah di Riau, Indonesia. Data dianalisis dengan rangkaian Bayesian. Bagi mendapatkan model terbaik, model asas telah disahkan. Bilangan responden yang terlibat dalam mengesahkan model ini adalah seramai 107 orang responden. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan kebarangkalian pemandu remaja yang mengalami kecederaan parah adalah 27% dan cedera ringan sebanyak 73%. Senario 1 menunjukkan pemanduan tidak berhemah akan meningkatkan kebarangkalian cedera parah sebanyak 3%. Senario 2 menunjukkan bahawa memandu dalam keadaan letih akan meningkatkan kebarangkalian cedera parah sebanyak 3%. Senario 3 menunjukkan bahawa pemandu yang melanggar peraturan lalu lintas akan meningkatkan kebarangkalian cedera parah sebanyak 5%. Senario 4 menunjukkan pemandu yang melakukan perjalanan melebihi 1 jam akan meningkatkan keletihan dari 28% kepada 60%, juga menyumbang kepada peningkatan kebarangkalian cedera parah sebanyak 1%. Senario 5 menunjukkan bahawa pemanduan lewat malam (antara 24.00 – 06.00) bukan sahaja meningkatkan kebarangkalian keletihan tetapi juga meningkatkan kebarangkalian cedera parah sebanyak 1%. Langkah strategik bagi mengurangkan kecederaan parah di kalangan penunggang motosikal remaja termasuk: memandu dengan berhemah, tidak memandu dalam keadaan letih, mematuhi segala undang-undang jalan raya dan mengelak dari memandu pada jam 24.00 hingga 06.00.

The occurrence of a large number of road fatalities necessitates making improvements in road safety conditions. Governments and experts of European countries have been involved in this activity by investing efforts to increase security as well as achieve the goals of the European Commission (EC) to reduce fatalities by 50% by 2030.They aim to achieve road traffic without any fatalities occurring by 2050. Including a series of innovations for safety in the auto industry, deploying ITS technology, enforcing stringent legal regulations, emphasising on higher education of all traffic participants and undertaking other such important actions help achieve the set goals. Furthermore, adequate road maintenance with the use of modern models will definitely contribute to improving road safety. Moreover, it is necessary to regularly monitor road safety indicators and react accordingly on time. This paper presents a current state safety analysis from the perspective of road fatalities and road maintenance investments (RMIs) in the European Union (EU) and in European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries. The main objectives of this paper are to analyse road safety aspects and emphasise on the relation existing between road fatalities and RMI. Concurrently, the objective of this paper is to verify the possible influence of the performance-based maintenance (PBM) model on improving road safety in the European Union. As part of the research, 27 EU member states and 3 EFTA members were analysed in the period 2010–2021. The results indicate a connection between road fatalities and RMI. Thus, this particular one is almost linear at the average EU level and that PBM models can directly contribute to improving traffic safety and indirectly by savings in maintenance costs.
