Abstract

The road safety issues had cover many issues such as speeding, mobile phone, motorcyclist and other issues that may related with safety on road. The road users had differently behaviour while driving their vehicles on the road and may have distractions that can cause an accident, such as using hand phone, hearing the music, eat, drink and etc. This paper describes one approach to explore the driver behaviour based on listening music and Al Quran recitation. In traffic engineering, the approach of evaluating driver behaviour is based on traffic parameters that are normally considered and measured such as by vehicle type, speed, gap and others. The method use in this paper is using vehicle with V-Box and Race Logic technique for data collection. The data analysis are focused on speed trend and patterns indicate the music and Al Quran recitation that effects on driver behaviour. Five types of the categorization during driver drive the vehicles (e.g. car) were presented and discussed. The finding shows that this study enables the relationship between music and Al Quran recitation due to speed parameter and it show how significance that driver behaviour reaction (e.g. aggressiveness) on them especially due to road safety purposes.
