| 标题： Assessment of Traffic Safety Culture Among Drivers Population in Baghdad | |
| 摘要：
Traffic safety culture has a great influence on
road safety. However, traffic safety cultures varies among different parts of
the world, and this in turn affects how drivers respond to advisory traffic
information. Understanding how to assess the influence of culture on traffic
safety is important for improving traffic safety globally. Traffic safety
culture is embedded in the larger context of country’s cultural norms and
values, producing different safety outcomes even when other factors are
similar. The driver’s population in Baghdad with different age groups and level
of education has been investigated through a field survey. A questionnaire was
carefully designed for such assessment. The total number of drivers that are assessed
is 1052 driver, from January to June 2018. Traffic accident data were obtained
for the last ten years, and the participation of each age group in accident was
analyzed. It was noticed that the traffic Safety Culture strongly affect how
drivers respond to a situation. Different Traffic Safety Cultures can result in
different driving strategies. The accident location (rural or urban) and the
driver education level have shown a great influence on accident participation.
It was concluded that to control the level of road traffic accidents, attention
should be focused on traffic safety cultures of the drivers rather than the
physical condition and the experience in driving when issuing a driving
license.
