Towards Sustainable Development in Road Safety: Assessing Public Awareness on Basic Road Traffic Practices in Batu Pahat, Johor

Road accident contributes to high fatality rate around the world and being the 8th leading cause of death of all ages worldwide. Thus, road safety is essential for ensuring the safety and security of individuals of all ages, as well as reducing the number of traffic accidents and injuries as a one way to achieve Sustainable Development Goals 2030. This study aims to assess the level of road safety awareness in terms of basic road traffic practices among public who use Jalan Kluang Federal Route 50 (FT050). The level of knowledge on basic road traffic practices, the level of perceived real practice on basic road traffic practices, and the relationship between their level of knowledge and perceived real practice on basic road traffic practices were investigated. A survey method via questionnaire was distributed randomly to 200 respondents who are adults aged 18 and above and who live around Batu Pahat areas using Google Form online platform. Relevant statistical methods via Statistical Package for the Social Science Software version 26.0 (SPSS) such as descriptive, Mean Score Method, Correlation and Regression analyses were used to analyse the data.  It is found that the level of knowledge on basic road traffic practices among public is high.  Meanwhile, the level of perceived real practice on basic road traffic practices among public is low. Regression analysis results show that the awareness on knowledge of basic road traffic practices variable (β = 0.624, t = 11.229, p < 0.05) demonstrate a statistically significant relationship with perceived real practices, indicating that, the better an individual’s awareness on knowledge of basic road traffic practices (e.g. importance of safety belt, safety helmet, child restraint system (CRS) and speeding) the better the individual to actually apply the basic road traffic practices (e.g. the use of seat belt, safety helmet, CRS and speeding)

User's Acceptance on e-Hailing System as Alternative Transportation by Using Modal Shift

e-Hailing system is one of the mediums that are functioning to minimize the person on using the private transportation. Due to modern technology era, internet is used to ease the user in communication. With the internet platform assist, the e-Hailing system has well in management with the users can request the destination, travel time and also the cost for this service. The objective of this study was to identify the contributing factors effect to use e-Hailing system and also to analyze modal shift between public transport and e-Hailing system. Therefore, a study towards user's acceptance on using e-Hailing system as alternative transport based on the modal shift method with Binary Logistic regression analysis was necessary to identify factor and effect that influence modal shift occur from public transport to the alternative transport which is e-Hailing system. Johor Bahru area was the selected area as the location of the study due popular with the e-Hailing system. This study also shows the type of e-Hailing system that is used and will know the how this system really works with the safety, cost and also travel time. The binary logistic regression analysis shows that all the components were positively significant. This alternative transport is actually sending the user to the destinations that are selected by the user in the application. Therefore, the e-Hailing system is an alternative transport that must be used for people nowadays

Influencing Factors to Use E-Hailing Transport for Food Delivery Service

E-Hailing services are considered as on-demand vehicles that affect the efficiency of food delivery. This system improves the process of collecting and sending orders from customers in a short period of time. This study aims to determine the level of consumer acceptance or satisfaction with food delivery services using the e-Hailing system. The objective of this study is to identify the factors that influence the community to use e-Hailing food delivery services and to determine the most dominant factor in e-Hailing services according to Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The location of the study is in the urban area and also semi-urban in the districts of Johor. A self-administrated online questionnaire was distributed among 258 respondents in the study area. Part of the questionnaire was constructed based on the TAM. Correlation and regression analysis were used in the analysis of this study. The results of this study show that the relationship between variables TAM (β = 0.443), perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness are strongly correlated based on significant values (p < 0.001) showed the independent variable (Intention to Use) influenced the acceptance of user behaviour towards e-Hailing. Among the suggestions to increase consumers of food delivery services among e-Hailing users is to reduce delivery charges for nearby areas so that consumers can buy food at various stores. This can help other vendors and riders in this e-Hailing food delivery service

Penentuan hubungan laju-aliran lalu lintas jalan arteri

Presently, there is no published relationship between speed and traffic flow for arterial road in Malaysia. Report on Traffic Study Malaysia indicates the relationships of speed and traffic flows for uninterrupted flow facilities. An arterial road is a road consisting of traffic light junctions within 3 km distance or less and carrying high through traffic volume. This study is conducted towards producing the relationships between speed and traffic flow for arterial roads in Malaysia. The speed-flow relationships was developed using an existing traffic flow model. The specific aim of this study is to determine which model is appropriate with respect to Malaysian traffic characteristics. The relationships of speed and traffic flow are two parameters that are very important for planning and modeling of transportation facilities. In this study, travel speed and traffic flow were collected at several selected sites. The collected data were analyzed based on Greenshields, Greenberg, Underwood and Drake Models. The results of the analysis study has shown that Underwood Model is the most suitable model that can be used to define the relationships between speed and traffic flow based on Malaysian road condition. The data of observed free-flow speed in the field were also compared with predicted free-flow speed by each mode

Road crashes among food delivery riders (P-Hailing) during pandemic in Kuala Lumpur

Due to COVID-19 outbreak in Malaysia, a movement control order was implemented on March 18, 2020. As a result, many people ordered food through food delivery services, which may have come at a high cost due to the recent spike in food deliveries. This study aims to establish the causes and the most frequent mentioned elements that contribute to road crashes among riders. Road accidents are a severe concem since they :result in death or injury. yet the number of fatalities among riders continue to rise. The study was done in the vicinity of Kuala Lumpur and the data was gathered through a survey using online Google Form questioDDaire. The instrument was measured using a :reliability test and exploratoey factor analysis (BFA) to generate an empirical verification of the questionnaire's validity and reliability. Then, a descriptive analysis was undertaken for each variable to determine the primary factor. As a result, the critical fact resulted in cell phone use while lmvelling on the highway was a human factor component. The smdy's findings drew more attention to the issue and raised awareness about road safet
