The influence of driver training on self-regulated and safe driving behavior. case study: bus driver in Indonesia

Abstract

Driving safety is a priority in road traffic. In public transport, especially urban buses, safety driving would have a significant impact on the use of public transport. The number of accidents where the bus is very high due to human error showed that the low awareness of the driving Safety. The purpose of this study is to measure how much influence driver training towards self-regulation of the driver in safety driving. Qualitative analysis obtained by conducting interviews to representatives of operator, public transport lecturers and representatives from the Ministry of Transportation. Quantitative analysis is also done by questionnaires at the bus driver who was doing the training driving. A questionnaire was conducted before the training starts driving and driving after training finished.Results of the analysis showed that the driver training has a significant influence on the safety of driving. Self-regulation of driving shown in job factors and personal factors. On the other hand they also find that driver training can not be used as a variable moderation. It is supported on the results of the analysis showed that the results of statistical tests on driver training is rejected as a moderating variable. Driver training is more likely to be used as independent variables. Value variables in this study was not able to represent the vast majority of self-control in driving Safety. This means that there are factors that can potentially affect self-regulation in the safety driving out of this study. Researcher advised in future studies to find potential factors in question.
