The purpose of this diploma paper was to research and analyse road safety of Turkish truck drivers.
Chapter one deals with the definition of road safety regarding Turkish truck drivers; it also describes the factors of road safety and methods to ensure road safety.
The characteristics of operating goods vehicles and the way they affect road safety are presented below. We learn the characteristics of the Turkish transport sector and gain an insight into a Turkish transport company, the drivers of which have been surveyed.
Survey data analysis provides demographic information on the surveyees, information on completed rides, traffic violations, conflicts and traffic accidents. Drivers behaviours during rides, job stress and operators' opinions on the nature of their job are also analysed.
We studied the characteristics of the traffic accidents involving Turkish truck drivers in Slovenia in the period 2012 – 2022. Furthermore, we analysed the number of the accidents, characteristics related to time and locations of the accidents, locations of the accidents, infrastructural features, weather conditions, types and causes for the accidents and the characteristics of the operators and others involved in the accidents.
Upon collecting survey data, we will propose ways to improve working conditions and road safety to the company in question.
