Abstract

Unbalanced in mobility and safety is a latent issue because although speeding has been associated with fatal crash but excessive speed without having been punished still occurs. This study focuses on how to bridge it by identifying the reason, triggering variables and explanatory variables of speeding behavior comprehensively. A number 159 of participants which is the same monitored motorcyclist participated in braking maneuver test was successfully interviewed. Their answer was analyzed using structural equation model. The results showed that: 1) speed choice was caused by trip purpose and triggered by rider’s perception about their braking and hazard detection ability, and level of familiarity with road, traffic and vehicle characteristics as well 2) such perception was built due to their riding frequency, meanwhile, that the age does not influence it is an interesting issue because it indicates that speeding behavior is customary to be a commonly matter. Moreover, speeding is an intentional risk taking behavior as riders accepted both potential advantages and possible disadvantages gained from speeding. Therefore, the required speed management, rider’s perception improvement, and the consequential implication due to the result of this study was discussed, including how to intervene such perception based on education, engineering and enforcement approaches
