How do we perceive traffic risk?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Traffic risk perception has been defined as a subjective interpretation of the risk involved in traffic situations; this concept is important for road safety, since it may predict how road users behave in traffic. In addition risk perception is often reflected in safety assessments: both from experts (during road safety inspections or investigations) and lay persons (in road user safety complaints). Subjective risk perception is also valuable in cases when other safety data are missing, for example due to underreporting or newly-built infrastructure; hence it is of interest to study the factors which determine how we perceive traffic risk. In this respect an on-line test was prepared, consisting of general questionnaire (gender, age, driving experience), risk perception assessment (rating level of risk in video clips of traffic situations), personality questionnaire, and Driver Behaviour Questionnaire. With objective of studying the links between subjective risk assessment and personality traits, as well as differences across several dimensions (such as male vs female drivers, less/more experienced drivers, drivers vs other road users, or lay persons vs safety experts), the test was used with 144 respondents, including students and adults, certified road safety auditors or Traffic Police officers. In total 9 hypotheses were formulated and statistically tested: some of the identified relationships provided expected results, consistent with previous studies: for example high risk perception of females compared to males or lack of differences between students (non-professionals) and experts (professionals); other findings were less expected, for example lack of relationships of risk perceptions to age and experience. Nevertheless in order to reduce potential consequences of subjective assessments, based on risk perception, the identified differences should be considered in future road safety auditors’ or traffic conflict observers’ training procedures.
