ABSTRAK
Pengemudi truk memiliki peran penting dalam distribusi barang, namun juga
menghadapi berbagai kondisi kerja yang dapat memengaruhi perilaku berkendara.
Pengemudi dengan pengalaman kurang dari 10 tahun cenderung memiliki
keterbatasan dalam menghadapi situasi lalu lintas, sehingga berpotensi
meningkatkan risiko kecelakaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi
karakteristik pengemudi serta faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi risiko kecelakaan
menggunakan metode Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), termasuk indikator
dominan pada setiap faktor. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif
kuantitatif dengan pendekatan survei terhadap 350 pengemudi truk di Banda Aceh
dan Aceh Besar menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan
menggunakan kuesioner Driving Behaviour Questionnaire (DBQ) dan dianalisis
menggunakan metode EFA. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa karakteristik
pengemudi seperti usia, pengalaman mengemudi, serta kondisi operasional
berkendara berkontribusi terhadap tingkat risiko kecelakaan. Analisis EFA
mengidentifikasi enam faktor utama, yaitu Traffic Safety and Traffic Rule
Violations, Inattention and Driving Distraction, Aggressive Driving Behaviour,
Decision Making Errors, Driving Attention Deficits, dan Driving Focus Errors.
Faktor-faktor tersebut menunjukkan bahwa risiko kecelakaan tidak hanya
dipengaruhi oleh pelanggaran yang disengaja, tetapi juga oleh penurunan
konsentrasi, serta ketidaktepatan dalam pengambilan keputusan saat berkendara.
Indikator dominan pada masing-masing faktor menegaskan bahwa aspek kepatuhan
terhadap aturan lalu lintas menjadi elemen kunci dalam meminimalkan risiko
kecelakaan pada pengemudi truk. Penelitian ini diharapkan menjadi dasar dalam
upaya peningkatan keselamatan berkendara dan penurunan angka kecelakaan lalu
lintas di Banda Aceh dan Aceh Besar, khususnya pada pengemudi truk dengan
pengalaman kurang dari 10 tahun.

ABSTRACT Truck drivers play a crucial role in goods distribution; however, they also face various working conditions that may influence their driving behavior. Drivers with less than 10 years of experience tend to have limitations in handling complex traffic situations, thereby increasing the risk of traffic accidents. This study aims to identify driver characteristics and factors influencing accident risk using the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) method, including the dominant indicators within each factor. This study employed a quantitative descriptive method with a survey approach involving 350 truck drivers in Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Driving Behaviour Questionnaire (DBQ) and analyzed using EFA. The results indicate that driver characteristics such as age, driving experience, and operational driving conditions contribute to accident risk. The EFA results identified six main factors, namely Traffic Safety and Traffic Rule Violations, Inattention and Driving Distraction, Aggressive Driving Behaviour, Decision Making Errors, Driving Attention Deficits, and Driving Focus Errors. These factors suggest that accident risk is influenced not only by intentional violations but also by decreased concentration and inappropriate decision-making while driving. The dominant indicators within each factor highlight that compliance with traffic regulations is a key element in minimizing accident risk among truck drivers. This study is expected to serve as a basis for improving road safety and reducing traffic accident rates in Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar, particularly among truck drivers with less than 10 years of driving experience.
