Traffic safety culture is an essential aspect of the entire traffic system as it is an intricate internal determinant that can affect the behaviour of road users. Therefore, driving behaviour and perceived crash risk in public transportation have been extensively explored, especially in taxis and buses. E-hailing vehicle services have been introduced as an alternative public transportation. The aim of this scoping review is to investigate work published on the driving behaviour of e-hailing drivers and perceived crash risk. A scoping review was conducted using the methodological framework of Arksey and O'Malley to identify a broad range of relevant literature, regardless of study design. A comprehensive and systematic search was performed using Science Direct, Taylor & Francis, Sage Publications, and Emerald Publishing. Each database was searched for literature published between 1st January 2008 and 11th September 2023. Authors independently assessed literature eligibility and extracted data to answer the research question ‘What is known from existing literature between traffic safety culture and its relationship towards e-hailing driving behaviour and perceived crash risk?’. Three articles were included in the review. There appears to be a paucity of research or results-oriented evidence regarding traffic safety culture towards driving behaviour of e-hailing drivers and perceived crash risk. Driving behaviour of other work related to the road was reported. Owing to the lack of research and the inadequate descriptions of design and method in the driving behaviour of e-hailing drivers and perceived crash risk in most of the articles included, there is little evidence in the existing literature to drivers and policymakers in the field of work related road safety. This indicates a need for further research in this area.
