“…is result was in line with previous research studies which revealed that subjective norm contributed a moderate effect on pedestrians' violation intentions [39,40,54]. Among the extended TPB framework, past behavior as an extended variable contributed a weak effect on RLR intention, which is inconsistent with the related studies on the behavioral intentions of risky riding [30] and drink-driving [31,45]. However, past behavior was found to be a second-crucial determiner of RLR behavior and added an additional 7.2% to the explained variance for RLR behavior compared to the original TPB model.…”

“…All the variables from the TPB framework had a statistically significant total effect on RLR intention and behavior. Of these variables, perceived behavioral control had the highest total effect (the sum of the direct and indirect effects) on RLR intention, which can be supported across a few studies on pedestrians' violation intention and drinkdriving intention [41,45]. Also, the total effect of perceived behavioral control on e-bikers' RLR behavior was the strongest.…”

“…Perceived behavioral control (PBC) reflects an e-biker's perceived view of their ability to violate a red light. In light of previous studies, past behavior was also incorporated into the original TPB framework [29,44,45]. Past behavior (PB) represents an e-biker's violating behavior or illegal riding habits in the past and can indicate his/her habit strength [43,44].…”

To date, electric bikers’ (e-bikers’) red-light running (RLR) behavior is often viewed as one of the main contributors to e-bike-related accidents, especially for traffic scenarios with high e-bike ridership. In this paper, we aim to understand e-bikers’ RLR behavior based on structural equation modeling. Specifically, the predictive utility of the theory of planned behavior (TPB), prototype willingness model (PWM), and their combined form, TPB-PWM model, is used to analyze e-bikers’ RLR behavior, and a comparison analysis is made. The analyses of the three modeling approaches are based on the survey data collected from two online questionnaires, where more than 1,035 participant-completed questionnaires are received. The main findings in this paper are as follows: (i) Both PWM and TPB-PWM models could work better in characterizing e-bikers’ RLR behavior than the TPB model. The former two models explain more than 80% (81.3% and 81.4%, respectively) of the variance in e-bikers’ RLR behavior, which is remarkably higher than that of the TPB model (only 74.3%). (ii) It is also revealed that RLR willingness contributes more on influencing the RLR behavior than RLR intention, which implies that such behavior is dominated by social reactive decision-making rather than the reasoned one. (iii) Among the examined psychological factors, attitude, perceived behavioral control, past behavior, prototype perceptions (favorability and similarity), RLR intention, and RLR willingness were the crucial predictors of e-bikers’ RLR behavior. Our findings also support designing of more effective behavior-change interventions to better target e-bikers’ RLR behavior by considering the influence of the identified psychological factors.

“…According to a study conducted in 2012, 42.5% of the seriously injured in a road traffic accident in Belgium had alcohol in their blood [31]. Young, inexperienced drivers are more at risk of a road traffic accident as compared to older, experienced drivers under the influence of alcohol as alcohol consumption impairs a wide range of skills, which are necessary for driving safely [32,33]. Young drivers are inexperienced in both driving and drinking, and the potential harm is multiplied when these two activities are combined.…”

Road safety education has been recognized as an instrument for reducing road accidents. This study aims to evaluate the road safety education program "Traffic Weeks" among higher secondary school students (age 16-19) in Belgium. The program focuses on driving under influence (DUI) and traffic risks. This study investigates whether the program has an effect on socio-cognitive variables using a questionnaire based on the theory of planned behavior. During the pre-test, 445 students filled in the questionnaire, while 253 students filled in the questionnaire during the post-test. Of these, 175 questionnaires could be matched. The results indicate that the students already had quite a supportive view of road safety at pre-test, with female students showing a more supportive view of road safety than male students. The DUI workshop had a positive effect on most socio-cognitive variables (attitude, subjective norm-friends, and intention) of female students in general education, while the traffic risks workshop only affected perceived behavioral control of female students. In terms of appreciation, students had a significantly higher appreciation of the DUI workshop compared to the traffic risks workshop. During the focus groups, students gave recommendations to improve the program.

Many car drivers in Malaysia, especially young drivers, ignore the importance of wearing seat belts. This questionnaire study employed an extended version of the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) by including habit as a new construct to explain the factors influencing the behavioural intention and expectation of young Malaysian drivers to use seat belts. A total of 398 young drivers from the state of Selangor in Malaysia participated in this study. Analyses used a covariance-based structural equation modelling (CB-SEM) approach. The results showed that the variance, which indicates the intention of young Malaysian drivers to use seat belts (R2 = 0.76), is influenced by drivers’ habits and three basic constructs of the TPB (attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control). The basic TPB constructs have a direct and positive impact on the intention of young Malaysian drivers to use seat belts. Drivers’ habits have a positive and direct influence on their intention to use seat belts, and an indirect influence via the attitude and perceived behaviour control constructs. Drivers’ habits do not influence subjective norms. The authors recommend implementing effective measures to encourage Malaysian drivers to use seat belts and ensure sustainable traffic safety.
