Transport safety culture is defined as common rules that define certain safety behaviors in transport, common expectations about the behavior of others and common values that indicate what is important (e.g. safety, mobility, respect, courtesy). An important aspect of this approach is that the overall transport safety culture is the synthesis of the level of safety culture in different types of socio-cultural units. This PhD aims to quantify the culture of road safety in specific groups of drivers. The sub-objectives are summarized as follows:
- Identify the socio-economic factors that influence the road safety culture at local and national level.
- Identify the socio-economic factors that influence the road safety culture of sub-groups of private drivers (passenger cars and motorcycles) and professional drivers (buses and trucks).
- Develop macroscopic models for assessing the level of road safety culture at local and national level and in sub-groups of private drivers and professional drivers.
- Identify the impact of road safety culture on the safety outcomes of different driver groups.
- Identify road safety measures to improve the safety outcomes of different driver groups by improving the level of road safety culture of these groups.
This PhD will contribute to the identification of the factors that directly and indirectly affect road safety culture, to the quantitative measurement of the road safety culture of different groups and sub-groups of drivers and to the determination of its influence on road safety outcomes. The exploitation of the results can contribute to the development of appropriate strategies to improve road safety culture and, consequently, to the improvement of safety outcomes nationally and internationally.
