    What sorts of things do we think about when we’re driving – or being driven – in a car? Drivetime seeks to answer this question by drawing upon a rich archive of British and American texts from ‘the motoring century’ (1900-2000), paying particular attention to the way in which the practice of driving shapes and structures our thinking. While recent sociological and psychological research has helped explain how drivers are able to think about ‘other things’ while performing such a complex task, little attention has, as yet, been paid to the form these cognitive and affective journeys take. Pearce uses her close readings of literary texts – ranging from early twentieth-century motoring periodicals, Modernist and inter-war fiction , American ‘road-trip’ classics, and autobiography – in order to model different types of ‘driving-event’ and, by extension, the car’s use as a means of phenomenological encounter, escape from memory, meditation, problem-solving and daydreaming

    "Mobile sources contribute large percentages of each pollutant, but technology is not yet available to measure and tax emissions from each vehicle. We build a behavioral model of household choices about vehicles and miles traveled. The ideal-but-unavailable emissions tax would encourage drivers to abate emissions through many behaviors, some of which involve market transactions that can be observed for feasible market incentives (such as a gas tax, subsidy to new cars, or tax by vehicle type). Our model can calculate behavioral effects of each such price and thus calculate car choices, miles, and emissions.A nested logit structure is used to model discrete choices among different vehicle bundles. We also consider continuous choices of miles driven and the age of each vehicle. We propose a consistent estimation method for both discrete and continuous demands in one step, to capture the interactive effects of simultaneous decisions. Results are compared with those of the traditional sequential estimation procedure"--National Bureau of Economic Research web site

    K. J. Kohlhaas und seine aktuelle Fellnase ""Angelo"" erzählen den Weg zu einer Mobilitätshilfe mit Fellnase und das Leben mit ihnen! K. J. Kohlhaas wurde sehend geboren und war wie jeder auf seine eigene Art und Weise mobil, bis zu jenem Tag im Januar 1991, der alles ändern sollte. Von nun an war seine Mobilität auf ein Minimum reduziert. Er benötigte seine Frau als Fahrer sowie seine Töchter als Orientierungshilfen. Bis er seine eigenständige Mobilität wieder bekam, kam ihm sein Leben wie eine Achterbahnfahrt vor - immer auf und ab, leider nur in Zeitlupe! Eine Schulung in Orientierung und M
