| Summary: | Accidents at level crossings often occur every year, especially in Operation Area 2,
Bandung City. Accidents can be caused by several factors, such as systems and
technical safety devices and other safety support facilities. However, there is one
important factor that plays a role in the occurrence of accidents at level crossings,
namely the behavioral factor of road users. Therefore, this study aims to obtain a
description of the behavior of road users at level crossings that can increase the risk
of accidents. The method in this study uses a qualitative approach through field
observations, interviews, and filling out questionnaires. The field observation method
is intended to study violations and analyze aspects of the safety system applied. The
officer interview method is intended to obtain a chronology of accidents and to obtain
an overview of the characteristics of the level crossing under study. Interview methods
and filling out questionnaires for road users are intended to obtain data that describes
the behavior and decision-making of road users at level crossings. Based on the results
of the study, it was found that the number of violations committed by road users was
quite high. In addition, the characteristics of level crossings indicated by road contour
conditions, safety systems, volume of road users, as well as waiting duration and
duration of crossing road users are not according to the rules. The conclusion of this
study shows that the behavior of road users that threatens safety is influenced by
predisposing factors, supporting factors, and driving factors. Such behavior can be
minimized by implementing risk mitigation measures through the implementation of
avoidance and mitigation strategies. For avoidance strategies, stakeholders can use
preventive and repressive approaches. The strategy to reduce can be done with the
HFACS approach on the safety system aspect and the BBS approach on the behavioral
aspect of road users. In the HFACS approach, an internal evaluation of the
implementation of the safety system by stakeholders is carried out. Meanwhile, in the
BBS approach, an evaluation is carried out based on the behavior of road users
towards safety at level crossings. |
