Description
This thesis sought to better understand how financial pressures influence the safety of heavy truck operations in Australia. Truck driver employment (direct and outsourced) and payment methods influenced the risk of crashes and unsafe driving behaviours, and were in turn associated with companies’ perceptions of their financial performance. Improved training in financial management and monitoring of financial performance could be effective approaches to improving safety of both freight transport and those who share the roads with heavy trucks.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
