Road accidents are an unavoidable problem, especially accidents caused by Over-dimension and Overloading trucks. This study involved environmental factors, driver factors, vehicle factors, and road factors which had previously been analyzed using the multinomial logistic regression method with questionnaire data of 194 respondents and resulted in 6 indicators including road surface conditions, traffic flow volume, accident history, vehicle load, vehicle dimension, and speed limit signs. The purpose of this study was to find out relationship between latent variables using the Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Square (SEM PLS) method to obtain a model of the factors causing Over-dimension and Overloading truck accidents. The model results obtained indicate that weather conditions, road surface conditions, lighting condition, certified training, driver's physical condition, vehicle type, vehicle dimension, vehicle load, road geometry, accident location, traffic facilities, as well as vehicle dimension, and speed limit signs were the variables that had the greatest influence.The model obtained was good and fit (fit model) based on the R2 and Chi-Square values of 65.7% and 76.3%, respectively.Keywords: Over-dimension and Overloading Trucks; Road Accidents; SEM PLS; Factors Causing Accidents
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
