| dc.description.abstract | Belmera (Belawan-Medan-Tanjung Morawa) Toll is one of the toll roads in North
Sumatra. Accidents at Belmera toll are still common. The accidents taking place
on the toll road during the period from 2018 to 2022 consisted of single accidents
with details of 20 cases (63.16%) of single-car accidents, 48 cases (25.26%) of
fixed object collision, and 1 case (0.53%) of obstacle collision; as well as 20
cases (10.52%) of multiple car accident and 1 case (0.53%) of T-bone car
collision. Along with many researches done, variables that cause such accidents
continue to be discovered. Driving behavioral and personality model is the model
that is being developed. In this study, driving behavioral and personality model is
developed using associative research method. The obtained model shows that
driving personality is indicated to have a significant correlation with accidents, in
which technical skill is found to have the most significant correlation with
accident with correlational value r=0.546, followed by driving violation, fatigued
driving and abnormal behavior. Alcohol consumption is indicated to have the
lowest correlation value, i.e. r = 0.127, meaning that it has a very weak positive
correlation, yet it is proven to correlated with the cause of accidents; implying
that alcohol consumption hardly has an effect on accident, but it is necessary and
important to be acknowledged. Driving personality is also significantly correlated
with accident, with the highest r value indicated by anxiety i.e. r value= 0.594,
followed by driving knowledge, personality traits, aggressiveness level, mobile
phone use, independent attitude and driving style, which overall result of the
assessment falls into moderate category. The research findings develop a model
that shows the correlation among driving behavior and personality with
accidents, in which all investigated indicators have significant effects on
accidents; the higher the correlation value is, the more significant the effects of
the accident causes of driving behavior and personality on accident is. The
correlation among these indicators is a novelty found from the research. | en_US |
