Digitization and the Law

Neue Technologien bedeuten neue Herausforderungen für das Recht. Das Internet ist kein Neuland mehr, kritische Themen wie Cyberattacken, Privatsphäre, der Schutz Minderjähriger oder auch das Cloud Computing sind jedoch keinesfalls ausdiskutiert. Die zunehmende Digitalisierung und Technisierung beschränkt sich nicht auf das World Wide Web. Der automatisierte Straßenverkehr ist ein ebenso zukunftsweisendes Thema, dessen Entwicklung rechtlich begleitet werden muss. Im vorliegenden Band sind Forschungsarbeiten von Rechtwissenschaftlern aus Deutschland, den USA, Kanada und Griechenland zusammengefasst

Investigating sources and modes of communication through which rural raised drivers learn and experience cultural models of driving and their impact on driving safety

Saskatchewan faces a serious problem with its traffic safety: there are more traffic-related injuries and fatalities in Saskatchewan than in other Canadian provinces. This issue is particularly problematic on rural roads, where young rural drivers are involved in a disproportionately high number of traffic-related fatalities. However, research has yet to determine what and how information is transmitted to young rural-raised drivers or how this information differs after moving to an urban centre. To address these gaps, the present research explores the cultural models of driving in Saskatchewan and how these models are transmitted to young drivers so that they develop either safe or unsafe driving mental models. A survey questionnaire of rural-raised university undergraduates who drive estimated their relative level of driving safety via driving styles, traffic risk perception, and attitudes toward driving. Following a case-based approach to qualitative research, subsequent interviews with seven survey participants permitted an in-depth understanding of which driving mental model components (both safe and unsafe) develop in these drivers and the modes and sources of communication through which this development occurs. Results describe several universalities and discrepancies among young rural-raised drivers’ perceptions of the cultural and individual mental models of driving. For example, rural driving is associated with reckless practices, low police presence, and underage driving, though safety benefits from minimal distractors (besides wildlife). Findings also indicate that, of all cultural model transmission modes, punishment and observation/modeling have the strongest impact on mental model development. Finally, of the sources of cultural model transmission examined, family and friends/peers appear to have the most significant influence on this group’s mental models of driving. Practical applications, limitations, and directions for future research of this exploratory study are also discussed

The behavioural validation of driving simulators as research tools: a case study based on the Leeds Driving Simulator

The objectives of this thesis was to provide researchers with a scientitically-based guide for interpreting driver behaviour results obtained on a fixed-base driving simulator and to provide guidance on how the Leeds Advanced Driving Simulator (LADS) could be modified to overcome any deficiencies that were detected. However. objectives of any simulator validation study are directly related to the specitic driving task under investigation. our ability to perform a similar task in the field (for the comparison of the results between the two environments) and the existing configuration capabilities of the simulator. To achieve the objectives of this study, driver behaviour was investigated at the control level under different road geometry and oncoming traffic conditions using the LADS. Speed and lateral displacement in terms of mean and standard deviation were chosen to represent driver behaviour. They were measured under free-flowing conditions on a rural A road. The objectives of the study were fulfilled by comparing observational uncontrolled real road data with experimental simulator data and by evaluating the differences between the two environments using the absolute and relative validity criteria. It was found that LADS is relatively valid in terms of speed and lateral position. It was also found that higher speeds are developed in the simulator where speed in not confined by the road geometry and simulator subjects drive significantly closer to the edge of the road compared to their real road counterparts irrespective of the road geometry and the oncoming traffic conditions. The face validity of the simulator was examined using subjective data obtained from questionnaires relative to the realism and ease of controlling the simulator. Subjects commented that the least realistic features of the simulator were the braking and steering systems. Subjects were classiffied to "good" and "poor" according to their responses regarding the simulator face validity. It was found that "good" subjects behave slightly better compared to "poor" subjects when driving the simulator
