Ziel einer Verkehrswende ist es, mehr Platz für Fahrrad- und Fußverkehr sowie für mehr Grün zu gewinnen. Der Berliner Bezirk Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg ist im Projekt Graefekiez dafür ein Beispiel. Rund 2.000 Stellflächen sollen umgewidmet werden. Bei der Umsetzung zeigen sich neben den...

We provide evidence that graduated driver licensing (GDL) laws, originally intended to improve public safety, impact human capital accumulation. Many teens use automobiles to access both school and employment. Because school and work decisions are interrelated, the effects of automobile-specific...

Using data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System for the period 1983-1997, Cohen and Einav (Review of Economics and Statistics 2003; 85(4): 828 843) found that mandatory seatbelt laws were associated with a 4 to 6 percent reduction in traffic fatalities among motor vehicle occupants. After...

Die Elektromobilität, die Notwendigkeit der Technologie und deren Marktdurchdringung werden einerseits stark gefördert, andererseits stellen sich die erwartete Nutzerakzeptanz und Nachfrage noch nicht im wie von weiten Teilen von Wirtschaft und Politik gewünschten Rahmen ein. Frau Hillenbrand...

We provide evidence that graduated driver licensing (GDL) laws, originally intended to improve public safety, impact both high school completion and teen employment. Many teens use automobiles to commute both to school and to employment. Because school and work decisions are interrelated, the...

Teens are risky drivers and often subject to extra restrictions. We examine the effects of an Australian intervention banning first-year drivers from carrying multiple passengers between 11:00pm and 4:59am, which had represented 3% of their accidents and 18% of their fatalities. Using daytime...

We estimate the effect of granting access to driver licenses to undocumented immigrants on their offspring's access to early childhood education (ECE). Using individual-level data from the ACS, we find that granting driving privileges to undocumented immigrants leads to a 6% increase in ECE...

"The first decade of the auto industry in America featured politicians and bureaucrats at all political levels trying to come to terms with a new form of locomotion. Rules and regulations had to be drafted, implemented, and then enforced. Working against them was a small but wealthy and powerful...

We use traffic data from a series of experiments in the United States and Israel to examine how illegal behavior is deterred by various penalty schemes and whether deterrence varies with age, income, driving record and criminal record. We find that red light running decreases sharply in response...

Die Corona-Krise verändert auch den Stadtverkehr. Welche Chance bietet sich, die auf das Auto fixierte Verkehrsordnung grundlegend zu überholen?

In der aktuellen verkehrspolitischen Debatte zur innerstädtischen Schadstoffbelastung sowie zu Tempolimits auf Autobahnen werden zwischen den Befürwortern einer entsprechenden Maßnahme und deren Gegnern vielfach Argumente ausgetauscht, die einen evidenzbasierten, auf belastbaren Daten und...

The possible consequences of the advent of fully automated vehicles (AVs) for personal transport are assessed. A shared-user model is considered preferable to an owner-user model; public-sector intervention is considered necessary to secure the successful integration of AVs with mass transit....

In almost all cases, the transport industry has adopted safety management systems (SMS) in response to a regulatory initiative. SMS vary dramatically across transport modes and jurisdictions - often because of the influence of different legacy regulatory programmes, and the attendant cultures....

This discussion paper introduces several legal considerations for shared automated driving with a view toward grounding a broader policy discussion. It begins by discussing likely implementations of shared automated driving. It next considers the kinds of legal actions that developers and...

Die in der Novelle des Personenbeförderungsgesetzes vollzogene Marktspaltung in vor Marktzutritt geschütztem öffentlichem Personennahverkehr und wettbe-werblichem Linienbusfernverkehr ist willkürlich. Wettbewerbspotenziale zeigen sich bei freiem Marktzutritt sowohl im Fernverkehr als auch im...

The Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) recently announced a goal of reducing drugged driving by 10 percent within three years. In an effort to achieve this goal, ONDCP is encouraging all states to adopt per se drugged driving laws, which make it illegal to operate a motor vehicle...

Der deutsche Busliniennahverkehr wird heute in den meisten Bundesländern durch ein monopolisiertes Verkehrsangebot kommunaler Gesellschaften dominiert. Mit der bevorstehenden Überarbeitung des Personenbeförderungsgesetzes rückt die Frage nach einer geeigneten wettbewerblichen Entwicklung des...

Over 20 states have adopted laws requiring youths to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle. We confirm previous research indicating that these laws reduced fatalities and increased helmet use, but we also show that the laws significantly reduced youth bicycling. We find this result in standard...

We provide the first comprehensive assessment of the effects of mandatory seatbelt laws on self-reported seatbelt use, highway fatalities, and crash-related injuries among high school age youths using data from the Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) national, state, and local Youth Risk...

In this paper we study the political economy determinants of traffic fines. Speeding tickets are not only determined by the speed of the offender, but by incentives faced by police officers and their vote maximizing principals. Our model predicts that police officers issue higher fines when...
