The perception and behavior of coal truck drivers on the travel timeliness

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution › peer-review

Abstract

Coal-hauling requires a reliable driver because the coal driver characteristics are different from other transport drivers. The research included demographic characteristics, perceptions, and behavior of coal drivers on the travel timeliness. The research methods are observation, a questionnaire, multiple linear regression, and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) with 116 participants. The results showed there was a match between demographic characteristics, perceptions, and driver behavior. Demographic characteristics show that productive age, education, and experience are sufficient, and income/month is higher than the Regional Minimum Wage (UMR), but the driver has a high workload. The results of the perception and behavior of the driver indicate that work motivation, vehicle conditions, and road conditions have a significant effect and become an essential factor in the travel timeliness of coal-hauling. The better the work motivation, the condition of the vehicle, and the road, the more timely the trip will achieve.
