Abstract

The growing rate of the number of land transport vehicles is quite rapid in Indonesia (8.19% per year), with trucks being the third largest category of vehicles. In Indonesia, 4140 traffic accidents involved trucks in 2013. This study analysed the factors that influence land transportation safety in one of the logistics companies in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia. This was a qualitative research study with analytic descriptive design, using the Haddon matrix to consider the driver, vehicle, physical environment and social environment factors in the pre-accident phase. The results of this study indicated that the safety of land transportation in Jakarta is influenced by four complex factors: fatigue in drivers, crime, other vehicles, and the driver's departure system. Interaction between these factors increased the risk of accidents in Jakarta.
