Malaysia is one of the countries that records highest number of accident due to aggressive driving. Therefore, this study has proposed Malaysian Driver Anger Scale (MDAS) which is suitable in the context of driving culture in Malaysia by modifying instrument driving questionnaire anger scale (DAS) introduced by Deffenbacher et al. (1994). This study identified research gaps of Driving Anger Scale (DAS) by doing a literature review. Initially, this study attempted to find a suitable primary theory model to describe anger among drivers. After DAS was selected as a reference theory model, this study tried to find out DAS study applied in Malaysia in order to figure out how well this theory model used in Malaysia. Then, based on previous studies, this study drafted a questionnaire and proposed MDAS. Pilot test was run to identify...

Human factors are the highest contributing factor to the road accidents which are mostly from the drivers’ attitude such as excessive speeding. To mitigate this problem, a government has been implemented Automated Enforcement System (AES). This study aims to identify the factors that contributed to the AES acceptance among drivers and the acceptance level of AES based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The correlation and regression analysis were used in this study. The questionnaire survey was designed based on the Driver Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ) and TAM. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed among 226 car driver as a respondent. The results show that the most dominant factor is perceived easy of acceptance compared with the acceptance level of respondent towards AES. Therefore, the authority might able to adapt and continue using AES monitoring method as a measure to carry out traffic offence enforcement activities.

However, majority of road accidents fatalities involve motorcyclist. Royal Malaysian Police reported that head is the most part of body casualties and fatalities in year 2014. One of the strategies to mitigate this problem is through proper usage of safety helmet. Thus, this study was introduce a new approach on motorcyclist safety using Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with additional variables. TAM is a theory model used by researcher to examine the factor of acceptance of new technologies among users. To test the hypothesized model, 319 of respondents among motorcyclist was chosen as a sample size. The Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) approach was performed to test full structural model. The result shows that the goodness of fit indices are excellent fit and all variables (perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, descriptive norm, subjective norm and perceived safety) were statistically significant towards behavio...

It means that, a systematic development of the transportation system is an important factor that makes the country's development. In Malaysia, the increased use of private cars is caused by inadequate public transport and does not meet the general conditions. This study was conducted to identify the factors that contributed drivers intention to use electric cars. To explore this issue, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is employed to predict acceptance towards driver intention to use electric cars. A Self-administered questionnaires were distributed among 217 car driver in Batu Pahat District. The correlation and regression analyses were performed to determine the relationship between TAM constructs and intention to use electric car. Results shows all contructs were found statistically significant. In addition, Perceived Ease of Use is stronger factors that contribute to driv...

Higher accident risk of foreign drivers especially among foreign students compared to the Malaysian may further contributed by different of attitudes or behaviour towards road safety in which it results in driving behaviour.

It was conducted to modify the material used on the road divider, so that the suitability of the material can reduce the impact of the vehicle during road accident. Objective of this study is to test and design greener sustainable materials as a road median component. Besides, the study is to determine the suitability and characteristics of materials for road median. Materials used in this study are gunny sacks filled with sand, laterite soil, soft turfing (cow and pearl grass) and used tire as a cushion effect. Based on experiment testing, sieve analysis result showed that river sand is a good grade sand and suitable for road median. While, direct shear test showed sand and soil used for this study are suitable because there have a high shear strength. For grass observation, cow grass is suitable compare pearl grass in term of growth rate, mainte...

However, motorcyclists take up the largest portion of the annual road death statistics. The main cause of fatalities among motorcyclists is injury to the head compared to other parts of body. This paper presents a new intervention to enhance the safety of motorcyclist regarding the head injuries issue. A new conceptual design, which is Safety Helmet Reminder (SHR) system, is novel approach towards the prevention of injuries among motorcyclists in Malaysia. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was adopted to predict behavioral intention to use SHR among motorcyclists. The self-administered questionnaires were distributed among 300 motorcyclists in Batu Pahat, Johor. The data were analysed using correlation and hierarchical multiple regression analyses. The results show that the predictive variables were highly correlated, showing positive linear relationship and significance at 0.01 (p<0.01). In addition, through the hierarchical multiple regression, it was found that perceived ease of use, behavioral intention to use SHR and additional variables (perceived safety, subjective norm and descriptive norm) were found significant (p<0.05). In conclusion, perceived safety, subjective norm, descriptive norm, perceived ease of use and behavioral intention to use technology remained a significant predictor of helmet use. However, perceived usefulness and attitude toward using technology were not significant in predicting helmet use among motorcyclists.

In Malaysia, the high dependence on private cars is caused by inadequate public transport that does not meet the general needs of commuters. This study was conducted to identify the factors that contributed to drivers' intention to use electric cars as a greener alternative to fuel-powered vehicles. To explore this issue, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was employed to predict acceptance of electric cars based on driver intention. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to 217 car drivers in the Batu Pahat district. Correlation and regression analyses were performed to determine the relationship between the TAM constructs and the intention to use electric car. Results showed that all contructs were found to be statistically significant. In addition, Perceived Ease of Use was a stronger factor that contributed to drivers' acceptance to use electric cars compared to Perceived Usefulness. The level of the acceptance was highly positive.
