Identification the effect of Behaviour on Traffic Accident Level with Stuctural Equation Modelling (SEM)

- Accidents in traffic are affected by low levels of consciousness of safety. This safety level is the behavior of motorcyclists. Behavior indicators are knowledge of traffic signs, discipline attitude, and vehicle maintenance. this study aims to find out how much influence the knowledge about traffic signs, disciplinary attitude, and vehicle maintenance to motorcycle rider behavior in traffic accidents. The method of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) through Analysis Moment of Structure Analysis (AMOS) version 22 and questionnaire required amounted to 242 respondents used to identify indicators in this study. It is expected in this research to be able to know how big influence of knowledge about traffic sign, disciplinary attitude of rider, and vehicle maintenance to behavior at traffic accident in Surabaya city.
