Survey Safety

450
Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Transportation Safety
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Assessing pedestrian road crossing attitudes and behaviors is crucial for developing effective safety interventions.
  • Existing measures may not adequately capture the nuances of young adults' road crossing behaviors.
  • The theory of planned behavior provides a robust framework for understanding behavioral intentions and actions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and psychometrically evaluate a theory-based questionnaire to measure road crossing attitudes and potentially risky pedestrian behavior in young adults.
  • To establish the reliability and validity of the developed instrument for use in Tehran, Iran.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional validation study was conducted with 380 young adults (18-25 years) in Tehran.
  • A 76-item questionnaire, based on the theory of planned behavior, was developed and refined.
  • Exploratory factor analysis (EFA), Cronbach's alpha, and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were used to assess construct validity, internal consistency, and stability.

Main Results:

  • A 38-item questionnaire, the Pedestrian Road Crossing Behavior (PEROB) scale, was finalized.
  • EFA identified a 9-factor solution explaining 63.8% of the variance.
  • The PEROB scale demonstrated acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha: 0.67–0.88) and stability (ICC: 0.64–0.96).

Conclusions:

  • The developed PEROB questionnaire is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing self-reported road crossing attitudes and behaviors in young adult pedestrians in Tehran.
  • Further research is recommended to adapt and validate the instrument for other road user groups, such as older pedestrians.
