| 摘要： | Motor vehicle crashes are often predictable and preventable. Yet, many drivers choose to behave in ways that put themselves and others at risk for a vehicle crash and/or serious injuries. Behavioral safety programs are advantageous because they are easy to implement, easy to teach, and may be implemented successfully in the setting where the problem occurs to increase safety-related work behaviors. Almost all prior behavioral safety research has been applied in work settings where employees can systematically observe the safe versus at-risk behaviors of their coworkers. In contrast, commercial truck and bus drivers typically work alone and in relative isolation and thus require alternative strategies. Until recently, the primary problem with implementing behavior-based programs has been getting quality behavioral data on driving behaviors. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration funded this project to provide an independent evaluation of a commercially available low-cost driving behavior management systems (DBMS). Participating drivers drove an instrumented vehicle for 17 consecutive weeks while they made their normal, revenue-producing deliveries. During the 4-week baseline phase, the DBMS recorded safety-related events; however, the feedback light on the event recorder was disabled and safety managers did not have access to the recorded safety-related events to provide feedback to drivers. During the 13-week intervention phase, the feedback light on the event recorder was activated and safety managers had access to the recorded safety-related events (following a recommended coaching protocol with drivers when necessary). The primary analyses in the current report determined the safety benefits of a commercially available low cost DBMS. |
