“…The present paper focuses on human behavior, which has been identified as a key factor when exploring road crashes (Rowe, Roman, McKenna, Barker, & Poulter, 2015). With reference to the study of road behavior, the Generic Error Modeling System (GEMS; Reason, 1990) has been widely applied across types of road users, either car drives (e.g., De Winter & Dodou, 2010), motorcyclists (e.g., Sakashita, Senserrick, Lo, Boufous, Rome, & Iver, 2014) and cyclists (e.g., Twisk, Commandeur, Vlakveld, Shope, & Kok, 2015). GEMS allows for distinction of several types of behaviors and prediction of cycling safety outcomes (e.g., Twisk et al, 2015).…”

This study investigates the direct and indirect effect of three types of unsafe behaviours (i.e. errors, generic violations and smartphone-specific violations) on the likelihood of near crashes and actual crashes among Italian cyclists. We considered smartphone-specific violations as a different unsafe behaviour subtype that enhances the probability of committing errors, thus increasing the likelihood of being involved in near crashes. Furthermore, we hypothesized that near crashes will predict actual crashes. Results revealed that errors predicted near crashes, whereas generic and smartphone-specific violations did not. Near crashes mediated the effect of errors on crashes. Moreover, smartphone-specific violations predicted crashes throughout its consecutive effects on errors and near crashes. These findings contribute to deepen our understanding of the relationship between cyclists' unsafe behaviours, near crashes and actual crashes. To our knowledge, the present study is the first that links errors to near crashes among cyclists.

“…Como nuevos horizontes desde los hallazgos investigativos se encontró (a) la posible influencia del contexto social (nivel de estudio, nivel económico, ciudad natal) e historia previa del sujeto (Cantillo, Arellana, & Rolong, 2015) sobre la elección de seguimiento o transgresión, así como la preferencia inicial y posterior del tipo de CGR, pues la historia de aprendizaje personal es una variable que por las diversas características de los contextos viales del país, complejizó el control de una historia previa equivalente para todos los participantes en relación con las reglas presentadas a nivel experimental. (b) Se reconoce que desde la psicología jurídica quedan abiertas varias temáticas para la investigación en temas de tránsito, tales como la comparación de los efectos generados por un mismo PPV en diferentes grupos de actores viales (Twiska, Commandeura, Vlakvelda, Shopeb, & Kokd, 2015), la influencia de las diferencias culturales en la caracterización de los PPV (Coogana, Campbellb, Adlerb, & Forwardc, 2014;Solmazer, Üzümcüoğlu, & Özkan, 2016), caracterización forense de población privada de la libertad a razón de transgresión a la normatividad de tránsito (Faílde-Garrido, y otros, 2016) o la evaluación un PPV basado en testimonios de víctimas de actidentes de tránsito (Cuenena, y otros, 2016), de modo que desde el abordaje psicojurídico de temáticas estrechamente relacionadas con la psicología del tránsito, es posible lograr una formulación coherente de PP basadas en evidencia, favoreciendo el interes que tiene el país desde el plan de desarrollo para las ciudades (Resoluciones 1282 de 2012 y 2273 de 2014, [Ministerio de Transporte, 2012; 2014]) en la mejora del contexto vial del país, a nivel de movilidad, seguridad y prevención vial.…”

The aim of this translational research was to investigate the effect of differential training in three types of rule-governed behavior (CGR) on monitoring and violation of traffic rules for Bogota's pedestrians. 231 university students participated (18-29 years old; 102 men; 129 women). The design consisted of three groups defined by the type of training CGR (pliance, tracking and augmenting), each one exposed to pre-tests and post-tests for evaluation of followup preferences or violation of traffic rules for pedestrians in addition of a training phase with direct reinforcement according to the experimental group. The results showed a general trend by monitoring the rule in all phases and the absence of significant differences between executions of men and women in the phases of evaluation and training. A preference for following rules with consequences such tracking of pre-and post-training direct form was identified. In all experimental groups, direct training in CGR, promoted an increase in election monitoring traffic rules for pedestrians. These findings allow the formulation of some evidence-based guidelines for the design, implementation and evaluation of prevention programs vial that increase the conduciveness of traffic rules for pedestrians in Bogotá and reduce accidents.

“…Bicycle safety studies seem to have become popular recently and mostly are found in Australasia and European countries and Canada. Some of the studies combined all types of road users or more than one type of road user (see, e.g., [75,88]).…”

Purpose: A traffic safety analysis that is based on registered crashes often suffers from underreporting, which may result in biased conclusions and lead to misguided crash-prevention strategies. Self-reporting traffic crashes is a complementary method to obtain crash information that is often not available in official databases. By surveying studies from around the world, this paper aims to map the current practices in the collection of data from self-reporting traffic crashes. Method: A systematic literature search was carried out in three databases, ScienceDirect, Scopus and Transport Research International Documentation (TRID), resulting in 134 reviewed studies. Results: Self-reported crash studies were found to be more common in Europe, North America and Australasia, but there are few studies in developing countries. The reviewed studies mostly focused on adult road users (i.e. legal age of obtaining driving license and with no upper limit) and car users. Questionnaires (either paper based or online) were the most often used method, and 1 year was the most common recall period used. Regardless of its drawbacks, the reviewed studies showed that researchers 'trust' self-reports. Conclusion: More studies should be conducted, especially targeting adolescent and young adults (age of 15-30 years) and vulnerable road users (VRUs). Developing countries should increase their efforts when it comes to using self-reporting to better assess the actual traffic safety situation and produce knowledge-based appropriate safety measures. Utilisation of smartphone application to assist data collection in self-reporting study for in-depth crash analysis should be explored further.
