“…Specifically, it is worth remarking on the associations reported between age of cyclists and road crash rates in the last 5 years which were in accordance with other empirical sources [35,36], i.e., cyclists with less age tend to accumulate higher crash rates (regardless of severity) when riding compared with those with a higher age/riding experience. Furthermore, age was also correlated with risk-related perceptions (linked to infrastructural and interactional factors) and risky behaviours on the road.…”

Abstract:The increasing number of registered road crashes involving cyclists during the last decade and the high proportion of road crashes resulting in severe injuries and fatalities among cyclists constitutes a global issue for community health, urban development and sustainability. Nowadays, the incidence of many risk factors for road crashes of cyclists remains largely unexplained. Given the importance of this issue, the present study has been conducted with the aim of determining relationships between infrastructural, human factors and safety outcomes of cyclists. Objectives: This study aimed, first, to examine the relationship between key infrastructural and human factors present in cycling, bicycle-user characteristics and their self-reported experience with road crashes. And second, to determine whether a set of key infrastructural and human factors may predict their self-reported road crashes. Methods: For this cross-sectional study, a total of 1064 cyclists (38.8% women, 61.2% men; M = 32.8 years of age) from 20 different countries across Europe, South America and North America, participated in an online survey composed of four sections: demographic data and cycling-related factors, human factors, perceptions on infrastructural factors and road crashes suffered. Results: The results of this study showed significant associations between human factors, infrastructural conditions and self-reported road crashes. Also, a logistic regression model found that self-reported road crashes of cyclists could be predicted through variables such as age, riding intensity, risky behaviours and problematic user/infrastructure interactions. Conclusions:The results of this study suggest that self-reported road crashes of cyclists are influenced by features related to the user and their interaction with infrastructural characteristics of the road.

“…Further, only two studies investigated the association between risk behaviour types and self-reported crashes. The study amongst a large sample of Dutch cyclists found a positive association with self-reported crashes (Feenstra et al, 2011), whereas the study amongst Dutch moped riders did not find such an association, possibly due to a smaller sample size (Steg & Van Brussel, 2009). Thus, in these studies the factor structure as well as the association with self-reported crashes differ from those found in studies on car drivers.…”

“…Table 1 presents an overview of the results of the four studies, showing that: (a) the expected 'violations' versus 'errors' factor structure was not found in some studies (Elliott & Baughan, 2004;Sullman & Mann, 2009), (b) the risk behaviour factors were highly intercorrelated (Feenstra, Ruiter, Schepers, & Kok, 2011;Steg & Van Brussel, 2009), and (c) in addition to 'errors' and 'violations' three other types of risk behaviour could be distinguished: 'dangerous play', 'lack of protective behaviour', and 'unsafe crossing' (Elliott & Baughan, 2004;Sullman & Mann, 2009). Further, only two studies investigated the association between risk behaviour types and self-reported crashes.…”

“…Así, existen adaptaciones para ciclistas (Feenstra, Ruiter, Schepers, Peters y Kok, 2011), para motoristas (Elliot, Baughan y Sexton, 2007) y, la más actual, para ambientes laborales (Newman y Von Schckmann, 2012). En consecuencia, el modelo de comportamiento de riesgo en conductores de Reason et al (1990) tiene un potencial enorme para su aplicación al estudio del comportamiento peatonal, ya que permite objetivar, medir y describir sistemáticamente, transgresiones, errores y lapsus al transitar por la ciudad.…”

ResumenLos peatones son causantes y víctimas de accidentes de tránsito en el mundo y muy especialmente en América latina. Un modelo de comportamiento riesgoso en conductores es aplicado a peatones en dos países del Cono Sur de América: Brasil con la mayor tasa de mortalidad por accidentes de tránsito, y Chile, la menor. Una muestra accidental -463 participantes, 223 chilenos y 240 brasileros, de 17 a 40 años de edad-respondió la Escala de Comportamiento Peatonal controlándose sexo, edad, licencia de conducir y participación en accidentes de tránsito. Contribuyendo a explicar la contrastante mortalidad, los chilenos realizan significativamente menos transgresiones, ligeramente menos errores y lapsus al transitar por la ciudad, que los brasileños. Los hombres de ambos países son más transgresores que las mujeres. Se discute la utilidad del modelo utilizado y de los resultados, entregándose algunas recomendaciones para la salud pública en este ámbito. Palabras clave: comportamiento peatonal, transgresión y salud pública. AbstractPedestrians are causative and victims of traffic accidents in the world and very especially in Latin America. A model originally built for drivers risk behavior is applied to pedestrians in two contrasting countries in the Southern Cone of America: Brazil has the highest mortality rate for traffic accidents and Chile the lowest. An accidental sample -463 participants, 223 Chileans and 240 Brazilians of 17 to 40 years of age-, answered an instrument containing the scale of pedestrian behavior (ECP, 1999) and information relating to sex, age, licensed drivers and participation in traffic accidents was collected. Contributing to explain the contrasting mortality, Chileans reported to perform significantly less pedestrian's transgressions, fewer errors and lapses than Brazilian pedestrians. Men in both countries are more transgressors than women. We discuss the utility Correspondencia:
