Background

In this study, the association of work and demographic characteristics with different traffic offenses committed by food delivery riders in Greece was examined. Previous research has identified various factors related to risky driving however, there is a need for exploring the complex interrelationship of work-related factors underlying risky driving behavior.

Materials and Methods

A 2-items uestionnaire was used exploring delivery riders demographic characteristics, terms of employment, issues of concern during work and type of traffic offenses committed. In total, uestionnaires were analyzed using logistic regression in order to identify characteristics independently associated with serious traffic offenses, namely, red-light running and helmet non-use.

Results

The analysis showed that: (i) typical health and safety measures had no effect on serious traffic offenses, (ii) young age was related to both offenses however (iii) different sets of work conditions were associated with reports of red-light running (i.e. low work experience, use of personal vehicle for work, and payment by hour) and helmet non-use respectively (i.e. intense work pace, high tip income per day and low concern about vehicle condition).

Conclusion

The above findings provide evidence that serious traffic offenses are manifestations of underlying conflict experienced by the riders between safety and various performance criteria. Each one of the two offenses is related to different rider profiles aiming to satisfy different goals, namely, those mainly trying to maximize profit non-helmet users and those, mostly inexperienced ones, trying to cope with work pressure red light runners. Potential regulatory measures to alleviate risky practices are discussed.

希腊雅典送餐骑手危险驾驶行为背后的工作相关因素的复杂相互关系

背景

在这项研究中，研究了工作和人口特征与希腊送餐骑手所犯的不同交通违法行为的关联。先前的研究已经确定了与危险驾驶相关的各种因素，然而，有必要探索危险驾驶行为背后的工作相关因素之间复杂的相互关系。

材料和方法

使用 2 项问卷调查送货员的人口统计特征、就业条件、工作期间关注的问题和所犯的交通违法行为类型。总的来说，使用逻辑回归分析了问卷调查，以确定与严重交通违法行为独立相关的特征，即闯红灯和不使用头盔。

结果

分析表明：（i）典型的健康和安全措施对严重的交通违法行为没有影响，（ii）年轻与这两种违法行为有关，但是（iii）不同的工作条件与闯红灯的报告有关（即工作经验低、使用个人车辆工作和按小时付费）和不使用头盔（即工作节奏紧张、每天的小费收入高以及对车辆状况的低关注度）。

结论

上述发现提供了证据，表明严重的交通违法行为是骑手在安全和各种性能标准之间所经历的潜在冲突的表现。这两种违法行为中的每一种都与旨在满足不同目标的不同骑手档案有关，即那些主要试图最大化利润的非头盔用户和那些试图应对工作压力闯红灯的人，主要是缺乏经验的人。讨论了减轻风险做法的潜在监管措施。
