This study investigated the relationship between mobile usage, travel habits, and perceived crash risk. A survey conducted in Surat and Ahmedabad used home interviews, face-to-face surveys, and online questionnaires. Starting with a pilot survey of 40 responses, the final survey collected 246 responses, of which 235 were valid for analysis. The survey mainly used Likert scales to assess demographics, driving profiles, risk perception, travel behavior, and mobile usage. SPSS and SEM modeling were applied to analyze the data, revealing a strong correlation between Mobile Travel Behavior (MTB) and risky riding behavior, which significantly impacts crash confidence. MTB was also linked to variables such as Wrong Driving Habits (WDH) and Disobedience of Traffic Rules (DoTR). The study highlights the increased perceived crash risk from mobile use, especially video watching while driving, emphasizing the need for stricter regulations on mobile usage during driving to improve safety policies and compliance.

摘要

This study investigated the relationship between mobile usage, travel habits, and perceived crash risk. A survey conducted in Surat and Ahmedabad used home interviews, face-to-face surveys, and online questionnaires. Starting with a pilot survey of 40 responses, the final survey collected 246 responses, of which 235 were valid for analysis. The survey mainly used Likert scales to assess demographics, driving profiles, risk perception, travel behavior, and mobile usage. SPSS and SEM modeling were applied to analyze the data, revealing a strong correlation between Mobile Travel Behavior (MTB) and risky riding behavior, which significantly impacts crash confidence. MTB was also linked to variables such as Wrong Driving Habits (WDH) and Disobedience of Traffic Rules (DoTR). The study highlights the increased perceived crash risk from mobile use, especially video watching while driving, emphasizing the need for stricter regulations on mobile usage during driving to improve safety policies and compliance.
