The magnitude of the cause of the accident due to driver error causes the need to do an analysis related to the characteristics of the driver and the factors that most influence the cause of the accident and then the road. At this time the young driver is in Z generation who has an age between 16-21 years. An analysis of the characteristic causes of traffic accidents, especially in the "Z" generation of drivers by using the driver simulator "Teknosim" and the results of the analysis of observations through crosstab models and chi square test to the influential variable obtained that the characteristics of the generation driver "Z" in low traffic tends to move lane under the right conditions, brake suddenly with very minimal dexterity. It causes collisions with other vehicles with a very short reaction time without agility of 0.012 minutes, and even can improve how to drive and can not prevent wasteful consumption of fuel even in traffic that is not dense with Asymp. Sig values (2-sided) in the amount of 0.010 - 0.014. In heavy traffic conditions, the "Z" Generation driver has the characteristic of tapping the horn and tends to brake suddenly with a very small braking distance or too close to the vehicle in front of him and very minimal dexterity with the Asymp.Sig value. (2-sided) in the amount of 0.014 - 0.017.

 

 

 


 


Introduction*

 

World Health Organization (WHO) revealed 48 percent of victims who died were the productive ages (15-44 years). The traffic accident victims with high school education (SLA) occupy the most numbers. Data from the Indonesian Police Traffic Corps shows the percentage of victims with a high school education background reached 57 percent.

Supporting this research, as well as to find out the factors that most influence the characteristics of drivers at young age or more precisely in the "Z" generation, an observation survey was conducted on drivers who fall into that category, namely at the age of 16-21 years.

Method

 

Analysis Variabel

The study was conducted with a basic hypothesis in which there are some differences in driving characteristics among Z Generation. The characteristics that will be observed as well as being dependent variables include the followings.

1.      Reaction Time in seconds  (s)

2.      Measured as the interval between initial scenarios for the first indication of an acceptable response gap

3.      Driving agility

4.      Anticipation

5.      Take Decisions as Conflict Reactions

6.       Color Blindness

7.      The vision function of the driver in receiving information

8.      The sequence of responses when dealing with various conflicts that are simulated

 

Meanwhile, the independent variables are needed to see the factors that cause the distinguishing characteristics of driving among Z Generation. Some of the suspected factors are:

1.      Gender

2.      Age

3.      The range of time, the respondent can drive

4.      Music genre used while driving

5.      Hobbies in play games

6.      Use of cellular phones when driving

 

Instrument Collecting Data

The Data Collection Equipment is a driving simulator. The driving simulator consists of a series of driver assessments of various simulated road environment situations and a data acquisition system of driving results. The driver section of the simulator consists of a car seat, steering wheel, dashboard and pedals.

The stimuli are in the form of a device with 3 monitor screens in the form of front view and rear view mirror situations, right side left and side mirrors. The simulator that will be used is the bus driving simulator at the Road Transportation and Road Transportation High School Laboratory, as shown in the following figure

Analysis Method

1.      Cross Tab Analysis Method

* Generation Z

   Is a generation after Y Generation, which is define as people born in the years from 1998 to 2010

 

 
Cross tab analysis method is carried out to find out the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable which is suspected to be the dominant cause of accident in generation Z*.

Observations made on STTD cadets as objects of research were carried out through 2 (two) stages, namely pre-observation in order to provide practical experience in recognizing the basics of the driving process and the second stage was observing by simulating various scenarios contained in the simulator module. The assessment of driving ability using a simulator produces several variables can be seen in the following table.

2.      Chi Square Analysis Method

The analysis was carried out in identifying the relationship between independent and bound variables using the cross tab analysis method and then testing the statistical data using the chi-square method to determine the ratio of the relationship between these variables. The analysis was performed using statistical data processing software aids with a confidence level of 95% or α = 0.05 whose results will be described as follows. The hypothesis of this research is.

 

H0 : there is no influence between the independent variables (clinical characteristics of the driver) with the dependent variable (stimuli driving behavior using a simulator)

H1 : there is influence between independent variables (clinical characteristics of the driver) with the dependent variable (stimuli driving behavior using a simulator)
