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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
