1Edward us Kay Fappa et al. (1993)Ghana1182 trucks and trailers of all types of two, three, four, and five axesOverloadingNonlinear regressionFor any heavy-duty vehicle and any road, an index should be considered to limit the amount of overload to prevent the damage to the road pavement as well as committing overloading.
2Walton (1999)AmericaCompletion of 1013 behavioral questionnaires in collaboration with 680 transport agenciesSpeedingUse of the xyz logic pattern, the XYZ schemata models, chi-square curve, and the triple methodIn the three speeds and precautions and safety variables, there were errors in their statements, but there was no error in their skill. With regard to speed and precaution, it became clear that the reason for this error was to underestimate other drivers in these areas.
3Sullman et al. (2002)AmericaOut of 1065 questionnaires sent to drivers of transport companies, 382 completed questionnaires analyzedDBQ driving behaviorFactor analysisFour factors (error, slip, normal driving offenses, and aggressive violations) identified, and only the factor of driving offenses showed a significant relationship with the prediction of accidents.
4Davey et al. (2007)Australia443 volunteers working for a large Australian insurance companyDBQ driving behaviorPCA method for analyzing cases of driving behavior questionnaire (DBQ)Many highway driving offenses are associated with aggressive driving behaviors, and the only parameter that can predict driving offenses is the mileage in a year.
5Oladepo et al. (2011)Nigeria228 professional drivers at Ibadan UniversityFailure to use seat beltsDescriptive statistics and chi-square model curvesThere is a significant relationship between respondents’ views about belt closure and driver’s age, and the use of seat belts and driving experience and education.
6Tavafian et al. (2011)Iran246 commercial vehicle driversSpeedingDriving behavior questionnaire and planned behavior theory and multiple regression modelIndividual rules and perceived behavior control can indicate the amount of inclination to drive at a speed that is permitted.
7Zhang et al. (2014)China11055 cases of speeding and 10035 driving offenses of alcohol consumptionUnauthorized use and alcohol consumptionLogistic regressionMany factors indicate a significant amount of speed and driving in drunkenness, clearly referred to as the driver’s gender, vehicle type, and lack of light in the streets at night and limited visibility.
8Thompson et al. (2015)AustraliaInformation on driving offenses and accidents of heavy lorry drivers over a yearFatigue and drowsiness and no certificateSimulation by TSTUsing heavy lorry driver simulated systems, it was found that drivers who are paid per km/trip are more likely to face problems such as lack of certification, fatigue while driving, and increased risk of accidents and fines, compared to drivers who have a fixed salary.
9Tseng et al. (2016)Taiwan2101 male drivers of heavy vehiclesSpeedingBinary logistic regressionThe demographic characteristics of drivers, the quality of sleep, and the amount of mileage over a year at night are significantly related to speeding.
10Vries et al. (2016)India49 drivers’ information of a shipping company in India for 370 tripsSpeedingDual statistical analysis and statistical correlationExtrovert drivers have less efficiency. Also, with increasing driving experience, the number of driving offenses increases and productivity decreases.
11Precht et al. (2017)AmericaDangerous driving of 3500 people participating voluntarily was surveyed for three yearsSpeedingGLMM model (organized linear mixed model)Anger, passenger presence, and differences in individual driving behavior are among the main causes of misconduct, excitement, and distraction.
12Aminic et al. (2017)NigeriaDangerous driving of 394 interviewees in 6 areas of the Port Harcourt citySpeedingStatistical and inferential methodsSpeed violation with 33 percent and dangerous driving with 23 percent are the most violent occurrences in the Harcourt city.
13Maslać et al. (2018)Serbia918 nonprofessional drivers and 504 professional driversDriving behavior (DBQ)Nonparametric analysis (PCA)The results show a correlation between nonprofessional drivers and ordinary and aggressive offenses and errors, while professional drivers are associated with positive behaviors.
14Naderi et al. (2018)IranIn-person interviews of 474 heavy vehicle driversDriving behavior (DBQ)Structural equation modelingThe more drivers have grievances about their sleep state, the more lapses, errors, and violations occur. Also, the more expensive a vehicle is, the lower the fatigue felt by the driver.
