Abstract

In recent years, ride-hailing and delivery services using motorcycles have seen significant growth. However, the number of traffic accidents involving riders of these services has also increased rapidly. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the factors influencing the safe riding behavior of different groups of motorcycle riders in order to minimize and prevent traffic accidents, thereby reducing harmful consequences for the health of drivers and other road users. This research endeavor seeks to discern the disparities in factors that contribute to the manifestation of risky riding behaviors across three distinct motorcyclist groups: food delivery, ride-hailing, and private motorcycle riders. A total of 31 intersections were observed in Hanoi capital, Vietnam. Decision tree models were used to ascertain environmental characteristics to influence risky riding behaviors of three groups. The results from this study clarify different factors affecting to traffic safety compliance of each target group. This study has critical implications for authorities and platforms that can help achieve sustainable development goals
