| Summary: | The higher the speed, the shorter the available time to prevent collisions, and the
more severe are the results of a collision. Posted speed limits contribute to
reducing speed variability by establishing an upper bound on speed where the
objective is to reduce the probability and outcome severity of accidents. Many
drivers exceed the posted speed limit. The reasons for speeding are diverse and
may relate to temporary motives e.g. being in a hurry, to more permanent
personality characteristics e.g. risk taking, to human perceptual skills and
limitations, as well as to characteristics of the road, the road environment and the
vehicle. This research is to determine the reasons for speed limit violations in
Pekanbaru. Then it tries to provide the solution related to ITS.
Collecting data is carried out by using questionnaire. For the reasons of speed
limit violations, the question is a type of likert scale. The population on this
research covers up drivers with the minimum age of 17 years old because
everybody who has already been 17 years old is deemed competent by the law and
considered able to understand traffic signs when driving a vehicle. Rank analysis
and factor analysis are used to achieve the research objectives. Rank analysis is
used to determine the main reasons why drivers violate the speed limit, while
factor analysis is used to determine the grouping of those reasons to become a
simple factor.
The 13 reasons of drivers� violating the speed limit, 5 main reasons are obtained.
They respectively are in hurry condition, absence of traffic police, time is more
important than safety, ignorance to speed limit signs and lack of concern to be
intercepted by police. The factor analysis offers three simple factors why drivers
violate the speed limit. Factor 1 considers to account for reasons to speed related
to egocentric behaviour of the driver, factor 2 considers to account for reasons to
speed related to passiveness of speed limit factor both in term of signs and police |
