Shipping is the sector of the economy via which approximately 85% of all world trade is transported and which is technologically developing with enormous leaps. Its digital transformation has highlighted new opportunities, but at the same time new threats. Due to the great demand from the...

Most port operators have increasingly integrated cybertechnology into port activities to increase their competitiveness; unfortunately, this digitalization becomes the major vulnerability for the emerging cyberthreat. To help port policymakers develop cybersecurity measures, this study...

The border as vehicle -- The rise of Europe's border infrastructures -- The shape of technopolitics -- Detection, detention and design at the airport -- Surveilling landscapes and seascapes -- The portable provision of care and control -- Infrastructural investigations -- Extreme infrastructure.

Measurement of seat belt and air bag effectiveness is complicated by the fact that systematic data are collected only for crashes in which a fatality occurs. These data suffer from sample selection since seat belt and air bag usage influences survival rates which in turn determine whether a...

PurposeAs a well-known social institution, crime prevention has traditionally been in the purview of public authorities. However, the ceaseless increase in the use of online resources and governments’ responsibilisation approach to cybercrime prevention have created an ecosystem, which...

Dieses Lehrbuch behandelt systematisch alle Fachgebiete der IHK-Sachkunde-prüfung nach dem aktuellen Rahmenstoffplan. Besonderen Wert hat der Autor dabei auf den oft als schwierig empfundenen Rechtsteil gelegt: Zahlreiche Abbildungen und Beispiele veranschaulichen die Gesetzestexte und ihre...

This paper proposes a basic model with two types of capital: productive capital directly involved in the production process and capital devoted to monitoring workers. Surveillance capital intensifies workers' job strain, while wage recognition encourages their engagement. Firms face a double...

A flurry of research examining the effect of body-worn cameras (BWCs) on policing has arrived at mixed and inconclusive set findings. We present a multi-year study of the precinct-by-precinct rollout of BWCs in the New York City Police Department (NYPD), the largest metropolitan police force in...

Shenzhen: Die Metropole der Zukunft zwischen Kreativität und Überwachung. Wer wissen möchte, wie wir und vor allem unsere Kinder bald schon leben, welche Technologien sie und die Welt prägen werden, muss durch Shenzhen streifen. Die 20-Millionen-Metropole in Südchina gehört zu den...

This book analyzes the 2018 and 2019 men's and women's World Cups to understand how the use of Video Assistant Referees (VAR) affected each tournament. Unlike goal technology, where the decision is entirely left to the machine's algorithm, the VAR still has a human component, making it prone to...

As personal data continues to be shared and used in all aspects of society, the protection of this information has become paramount. While cybersecurity should protect individuals from cyber-threats, it also should be eliminating any and all vulnerabilities. The use of hacking to prevent...

"Herbert William Heinrich has been one of the most influential safety pioneers. His work from the 1930s/1940s affects much of what is done in safety today - for better and worse. Heinrich's work is debated and heavily critiqued by some, while others defend it with zeal. Interestingly, few people...

While there is increasing information on commercial motor vehicle (CMV) safety systems, truck automation, and truck platooning, there is less information on how roadway and infrastructure technology can improve truck safety, mobility, and efficiency using these technologies. Intelligent...

On-board commercial vehicle safety technologies present new opportunities for management and logistics in the road transport industry. As with many emerging technologies, the link to opportunity beyond the designed purpose of a particular technology is not fully realised until after...

Heavy commercial vehicle technology for safety has developed in capability and application and is having a positive impact on truck safety. And the potential for further safety improvements is exciting. We wish to place the evolution of such technology in perspective with related developments...

What happens when everyday standalone devices and machines acquire network interfaces? The somewhat obvious result will be an unprecedented number of “things” connected to the Internet. It is less obvious what this means for the governance of the Internet when this occurs. With the...

In bis zu 85 % sind menschliche Fehler der Hauptgrund für Unfälle im Seeverkehr. Situationsbewusstsein (SB) ist die Hauptursache dieser Fehler. In den meisten Fällen kann fehlerhaftes SB auf zwei Fakten zurückgeführt werden: Es waren zu viele oder zu wenige Informationen vorhanden. In...

In order to study the dynamic changes in gas concentration, to reduce gas hazards, and to protect and improve mining safety, a new method is proposed to predict gas concentration. The method is based on the opposite degree algorithm. Priori and posteriori values, opposite degree computation,...

There exists a widespread and uncritical assumption that the internet and society have been brought to their knees by Mafia-driven organised crime groups. Yet, this rhetorical narrative is not supported by research into the organisation of online crime groupings which finds that the organisation...

We examine whether video surveillance data enables improved retail performance. We analyze sales data collected from six sporting goods stores. We relate the sales data to an experiment where three stores had placebo video surveillance, and the other three stores made use of information learned...

Deliverable 4.2 (“Horizontal and Vertical Analysis of Privacy and Cyber-Security Markets”) provides an in-depth discussion of economic incentives, stakeholder engagement and market opportunities in privacy and cyber-security. This report first introduces the reader to the horizontal market...
