Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Advanced, Automated and Electric Vehicle Law
Book Synopsis‘A comprehensive and informative guide to the law, set in its historical and technical context, by an author with a deep understanding of transformative technology could not be more timely. I can think of no better guide in this field than Alex Glassbrook.’ From the Foreword by Mr Justice Sweeting The era of advanced, automated and electric vehicles (AAEVs) has begun; the legal transformation is starting. In July 2018, Parliament enacted the Automated and Electric Vehicles Act 2018, legislating for electric vehicle charging and allowing a direct civil claim against the motor insurer of an automated, ‘self-driving’ vehicle. In May 2022, the UK government announced its intention to create a new legal category for e-scooters. In April 2023, a ‘hands free’ advanced driver assistance system was approved for use on certain motorways across England, Wales and Scotland. On 8 November 2023 the Automated Vehicles Bill 2023-24 (HL Bill 1) had its first reading in Parliament. Motor vehicle technologies have developed since the nineteenth century and have affected numerous aspects of our lives - from road safety to the environment, from the laws of negligence and contribution to the rules of compulsory insurance. As AAEV technologies proliferate, their effects are likely to spread further. This book describes the emerging laws of advanced, automated and electric vehicles in England and Wales, explaining - The insurance and liability reforms of the Automated and Electric Vehicles Act 2018 - The wider regulatory reforms of the Automated Vehicles Bill 2023-24, set to become the Automated Vehicles Act 2024 - The range of legal practice areas affected by AAEVs, including discussions of the new public laws of vehicle safety, the actionability of downloaded software, electronic disclosure in civil litigation and the law of testing prototypes. This book will help those litigating, adjudicating, regulating and studying AAEV issues. It gives the context and detail of AAEV law in its many applications. It is a map to a fast-changing legal landscape. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional’s Cyber Law online service.Table of ContentsPART I - INTRODUCTION 1. Introduction to AAEV Law 2.

Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing Drink and Drug Drive Case Notes
Book SynopsisDrink and Drug Drive Case Notes comprises over six hundred summaries of the many cases on drink driving, and the fewercases on drug driving. This third edition includes notes of some seventy-five cases decided since the second edition was published.Trade Review'This book…is very good. …The first thing which is striking about the text is the ability to locate the salient points from each case…one is presented with a clear layout and structure of the circumstances of the case, the question for the court and the decision made, with a brief summary at the start of each case…extremely useful when researching a specific area of law…Of particular merit …is the almost exclusive use of judgments when relaying the decision that was made by the court. The judgments are relayed in part, but only the part essential to the dictum of the judge – useful when drafting a legal argument. In summary this book is extremely useful when defending or prosecuting cases involving drink or drug driving.'

Nova Science Publishers Inc Congestion Pricing in Traffic Control
Book SynopsisCongestion costs highway users billions of dollars every year. Although policymakers have adopted a variety of strategies for reducing or mitigating congestion, relatively little attention has been paid to policies to promote more efficient use of the highway system. One such policy is congestion pricing, under which drivers are charged a higher price for use of a highway at times or places with heavy traffic and a lower price in the opposite circumstances. This book explains how congestion pricing works, reviews the best available evidence on projects that make use of such pricing in order to assess the benefits and challenges of the approach, and discusses federal policy options for encouraging congestion pricing. Congestion pricing also can be linked to strategies to improve mobility by making alternatives to the private automobile, such as subways, buses or commuter rail service, more attractive during peak periods. The revenues generated by such pricing have sometimes been used to pay for improvements in public transportation systems. This book consists of public documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.

Emerald Publishing Limited Paratransit: Shaping the Flexible Transport
Book SynopsisThe 1970's and 1980's witnessed both substantial conceptual and practical interest in paratransit across Europe and North America, as well as widespread implementation of paratransit services and strategies. Subsequently, the trajectory of paratransit (also often referred to as flexible transport systems) has waned, to the point where it is frequently relegated to a very narrow niche (often related to special needs) in the spectrum of collective transport services. More recently, technological advances have made feasible new and / or improved approaches for organizing and delivering local passenger transportation. With practice, policy and research in paratransit now being impacted by these developments, a new set of possibilities is emerging. Some practitioners have forged ahead over the past decade and implemented services and organizational models that show the way forward for what is possible, sometimes without the benefit of the most advanced available technologies. This book draws on a selection of papers presented at the International Paratransit Conference in Monterey in October 2014 to capture these exciting developments.Trade ReviewDrawn from the International Paratransit Conference, “Shaping the New Future of Paratransit,” held in Monterey, California, in October 2014, along with commissioned contributions, the 19 papers in this volume examine issues and trends related to flexible transport systems for people with disabilities and others. Transportation, engineering, and other specialists from around the world discuss changing contexts, including the role of regulatory and institutional structures, nonemergency medical transport, and the development of large-scale demand responsive transport; operational aspects like the role of volunteers, rural transport planning, cost reporting, decision making, delivering accessible transportation, and the concept of the Shared Mobility Services Agency for planning and managing collective transport services; case studies of sub-Saharan African cities, the UK, Australia, and rural Norway; and the future of new and evolving forms of paratransit and on-demand transport, including transportation network companies and carsharing. -- Annotation ©2016 * (protoview.com) *Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisDas aktienrechtliche Beschlussmängelrecht ist seit Jahren heftiger Kritik ausgesetzt.

Brill Road Traffic Liability in China: A View from Law and Economics
Book SynopsisIn Road Traffic Liability in China: A View from Law and Economics, Yu Yan provides an in-depth analysis of the Chinese road traffic liability system, as well as other alternative accident prevention schemes from a view of law and economics. The analysis refers to the functioning of the system both on paper and in practice. The conclusion shows that the current Chinese traffic liability system can only achieve partial deterrence, and that the problems of under-compensation and insufficient risk-spreading seem to be serious, at least in the economically underdeveloped regions. Based on these findings, Yu Yan suggests specific legislative changes to be taken for the policymakers to improve the system.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments List of Illustrations List of Abbreviations Introduction 1 Background 2 Aims of the Book 3 Structure and Brief Overview 1 The First Phase of Development Introduction 1 The Legal Framework for Dealing with rta Related Disputes 2 Rules on Road Traffic Liability 2.1 Fault-Based Liability in the 1951 Interim Measures 2.2 Vicarious Liability in spc’s Judicial Interpretations 2.3 Fault-Based Liability in Local Laws 3 Rules on the Compensation of Traffic Accident Victims 3.1 Limited Amount of Compensation 3.2 The Role of the “Danwei” in Victim Compensation 3.3 Detailed Rules in the Local Administrative Measures 4 Methods Used to Settle rta Compensation Claims 5 The Development of Private Insurance 6 Conclusion 2 The Second Phase of Development Introduction 1 The Legal Framework for Dealing with rta Related Disputes 2 Rules on Road Traffic Liability 2.1 Strict Liability in the gpcl 2.2 Inconsistent Interpretations in Local Laws 2.3 A Uniform Interpretation in the 1991 Regulation 2.4 Different Basis of Liability in the rtsl 2.5 Liable Person in the tll 3 Rules on the Compensation of Road Traffic Victims 3.1 Rules for Tort Damages in the gpcl 3.2 Detailed Criteria for Calculating Damages Provided by Local Laws 3.3 Uniform Criteria for Calculating Damages in the 1991 Regulation 3.4 Harmonising the Compensation Criteria in Two Judicial Interpretations 4 Current Chinese Legal Framework for rta Prevention 4.1 Aims of Tort Liability System 4.2 Liability Rules 4.3 Safety Regulation and Road Traffic Liability 5 The Impact of Insurance on the Road Traffic Liability System 5.1 cvli before 2006 5.2 cvli after 2006 5.3 Social Security Schemes in China 5.4 A Comparison of Different Insurances: Some Empirical Evidence 6 Conclusion 3 Economic Analysis of Road Traffic Liability Introduction 1 Economic Essence of Tort Law 2 Deterrence via Tort Liability 2.1 Unilateral versus Bilateral Accidents 2.2 Applied to Road Traffic Accidents 3 The Impact of Imperfect Information 3.1 Standard of Care 3.2 Causation 3.3 Damages 4 The Impact of Regulation 4.1 The Need to Regulate Traffic Safety 4.2 Arguments for Licensing Driving 4.3 Arguments for Regulation 4.4 Violation of Traffic Regulation and Liability 5 The Impact of Insurance 5.1 Risk Aversion and the Demand for Insurance 5.2 Problems of Insurance Markets and Possible Solutions 6 The Impact of Insolvency 7 The Impact of Litigation Costs 8 Compensation via Road Traffic Liability 8.1 Rationale 8.2 Compensation Accomplished by Insurance 8.3 Compensation Accomplished by Road Traffic Liability 9 Conclusion 4 Empirics of Road Traffic Liability Introduction 1 The Operation of the Road Traffic Liability Litigation System 1.1 Frequency, Causes, and Severity of Road Traffic Accidents 1.2 Claims Initiation 1.3 Claims Resolution 2 Effects of Road Traffic Liability Reform on Litigation and Insurance 2.1 Trends in Road Traffic Liability Claims 2.2 Effects of Tort Reform on Claim Frequency and Damage Awards 2.3 Effects of Tort Reform on Insurance 3 Safety Effects of Road Traffic Liability 3.1 The Change in the Negligence Rule 3.2 Safety Measures 4 Costs and Benefits 4.1 Administrative Costs 4.2 Cost-Benefit Analysis 5 Conclusion 5 Economic Analysis of Alternative Instruments Introduction 1 Alternative Instruments for rta Prevention 2 The Choice of Sanctions 3 First-Party Insurance Scheme as an Alternative Compensatory Instrument 3.1 First-Party Insurance versus Liability Insurance 3.2 First-Party Insurance versus Tort Liability 4 Compensation Schemes Not Based on Fault 4.1 No-Fault Compensation Systems for rta s 4.2 Some Empirical Evidence 4.3 Rationale of Compulsory Insurance 4.4 Rationale of Social Security 5 Conclusion 6 Critical Analysis of the Current Road Traffic Liability System in China Introduction 1 Critical Analysis of the Road Traffic Liability System in China 1.1 Multiple-Goals 1.2 Basis of Liability 1.3 Objective Test to Determine Fault 1.4 Imputability 1.5 Causation and Causal Apportionment among Multiple Tortfeasors 1.6 Quantum Rules 1.7 The Role Played by the Victim 1.8 Interplay between Traffic Safety Regulation and Tort Law 2 Critical Analysis of the Chinese rta Compensation System 2.1 Liability Insurance in China 2.2 First-party Insurance and Social Security Schemes 3 Some Empirics 3.1 Frequency, Severity, and Causes of Road Traffic Accidents 3.2 Claim Initiation 3.3 Claim Resolution 3.4 Litigation Costs 3.5 The Effectiveness of Road Traffic Safety Regulation 4 Conclusion 7 Summary, Policy Recommendations and Future Developments 1 Summary of Main Findings 1.1 Answers to Question 1 1.2 Answers to Question 2 1.3 Answers to Question 3 1.4 Answers to Question 4 1.5 Answers to Question 5 2 Possibilities for Future Research 3 The Way Forward Appendix 1: Chinese Legislation Appendix 2: Cases Appendix 3: Interviews Bibliography Index
