本研究以95-97年臺灣地區汽機車駕駛人事故資料為分析基礎,探討年齡、性別、肇事責任、保護裝備、飲酒、道路等級、載客情形、天候、與駕駛人事故死亡風險之關聯性。研究結果顯示於男性、高齡、未繫安全帶、飲酒駕駛、第一當事人、同向擦撞事故、單一車輛碰撞事故及事故位置為國道、省道、夜間有照明及載有乘客之汽車駕駛人存在較高之事故死亡風險;另機車駕駛人在男性、高齡、未帶安全帽、飲酒駕駛、非第一當事人、同向擦撞事故、單一車輛碰撞事故及事故位置為省道、晨或暮光及未載有乘客之汽車駕駛人存在較高之事故死亡風險;本研究加入之乘客變數顯示,載有乘客的汽車駕駛人其死亡風險較未載有乘客為高,但單獨騎乘之機車駕駛人其事故死亡風險較載有乘客者為高,汽機車車種當乘客受傷程度越高,駕駛人發生事故之死亡風險值越高。考量高盛行率與高風險之機車駕駛人事故死亡因子,尤應重視60歲以上、未使用保護裝備、飲酒駕駛之安全課題,以發展有效之道路交通安全管理措施。
This paper analyzes data on car and motorcycle accidents in Taiwan between 2006 and 2008 to assess the impacts on driver fatality of the following factors: driver’s age, gender, accidents cited, Protection equipment, alcohol consumption, collision type, area, the time and presence of passengers. Car drivers involved in male, older age, didn’t basket the belt, alcohol impaired, didn’t wear safety belts, cited, single vehicle accident, the same side collided accident, high way road, provincial road, during the night, presence of passengers have a higher risk of death. In addition, motorcyclists involved in nighttime, urban road, single vehicle accidents also have a higher risk of death, and lone drivers have a higher risk of death in accidents than do drivers carrying passengers and the seriousness of passenger injury also correlates positively with the driver’s risk of death. Consideration of factors behind the high frequency and risk of car driver’s deaths, specifically driver age above 60 years, not wearing a motorcycle helmet, driving while intoxicated, could help in the development of effective traffic safety management measures.
