Abstract

Abstract: In order to investigate factors influencing risky driving behaviors under reduced visibility conditions,and then to improve traffic safety, two questionnaires were complied, and a survey into 314 drivers was carried out by using the questionnaires. Pearson correlation coefficient method and SEM were used to explore the relationships between risky driving behaviors and driving ability in reduced visibility, and descriptive variables. The results show that risky driving behaviors under reduced visibility conditions can be divided into wrong behaviors and fault behaviors, that gender is significantly related to wrong behaviors, risk perception would be the most significant factor affecting wrong behaviors, followed by accidents happened under reduced visibility conditions, and driving experience would be the weakest factor, and that wrong behaviors have a positive effect on fault behaviors,and risk perception has an indirect effect on fault behaviors.

Key words: low visibility, risky driving behaviors, risk perception, driving ability, structural equation model(SEM)
