The subject of this research is the system of legal relations in the area of ensuring road traffic safety. The object of this research is the social relations emerging in the process of recording administrative legal relations via special software for mobile devices for improving efficiency of road traffic safety. The goal of this article consists in examination of the normative legal framework that regulates the usage of special software for mobile devices in law enforcement. The authors examine the issues of normative legal regulation of the process of recording administrative offences with regards to road traffic safety using special software for mobile devices. Special attention is given to the usage of special software for mobile devices when determining the elements of an administrative offence. The novelty this research is defined by the need to improve legal mechanism for recording administrative offences in the area of road traffic safety using special software for mobile devices, prevention of infringement of rights and legitimate interests of road users in the area of ensuring road traffic safety. The authors describe the problems and propose solutions aimed at improvement of legal mechanism for recording administrative offences in the area of road traffic safety via special software for mobile devices. The main conclusion consists in the need for revising normative legal acts in the area of ensuring road traffic safety for the purpose of improvement of the effectiveness of special software.

Every road vehicle must have a driver able to control it while in motion. These requirements, explicit in two important conventions on road traffic, have an uncertain relationship to the automated motor vehicles that are currently under development—often colloquially called “self-driving” or “driverless.” The immediate legal and policy questions are straightforward: Are these requirements consistent with automated driving and, if not, how should the inconsistency be resolved? More subtle questions go directly to international law's role in a world that artificial intelligence is helping to rapidly change: In a showdown between a promising new technology and an entrenched treaty regime, which prevails? Should international law bend to avoid breaking? If so, what kind of flexibility is appropriate with respect to both the status and the substance of treaty obligations? And what role should deliberate ambiguity play in addressing these obligations? This essay raises these questions through the concrete case of automated driving. It introduces the road traffic conventions, identifies competing interpretations of their core driver requirements, and highlights ongoing efforts at the Global Forum for Road Traffic Safety to reach a consensus.

The article attempts to systematize international legal acts in the field of road-traffic safety. Its current state in the world is outlined. The general methodological bases of knowledge of a problem of the international legal security in the studied field are specified. Some components of the research methodology are directly identified in the system of international legal security in this area. Based upon the features of the system of legislation that takes place in the theory of law, a number of characteristic features of the system of international legal security of transport safety. This made it possible to offer an author's definition of this concept. The system of international legal security of road-traffic safety is represented by the classification of relevant international documents adopted during the last 70 years by the UN, WHO and other international institutions. Their division is carried out on the subject of legal regulation in the general field of road-traffic safety. This made it possible to identify eight groups of international legal acts: as for the formation of a global road-traffic safety policy; the creation of uniform traffic rules; in the field of passenger transportation and passenger transport; in the field of cargo transportation; in the field of accident prevention; in the field of road-traffic safety of youth; as for the road transport infrastructure; as for the punishment of persons for criminal offenses in the field of road-traffic safety and transport operation. Proposals are made for possible supplementation of the existing conventions taking into account the current state of development of the transport industry and the introduction of new technologies.

The subject of this research is the normative legal acts that regulating responsibility for failure to comply with statutory requirements on ensuring road traffic safety in the context of short-term car rentals, law enforcement practice, statistical analysis of traffic accidents involving the vehicles provided by carsharing companies, as well as terms for their provision. The object of this research is the social relations emerging in the context of short-term car rentals owned by legal entities and individual entrepreneurs. The goal of this work consist in the attempt to improve the administrative legislation on bringing to responsibility legal entities and individual entrepreneurs who provide short-term rental services to citizens. The scientific novelty lies in legal regulation of the definition of “carsharing” on the level of federal legislation, as well as in amendments to the terms of the contract that would eliminate inconsistency of case law with regards to civil law relations and bringing to administrative responsibility of the persons who fail to comply with statutory requirements on ensuring road traffic safety. The proposed by the author concept of “carsharing” would allow imposition of obligations upon the leaseholders on compliance with road traffic safety requirements placed on the legal entities and individual entrepreneurs while operating a vehicle in accordance with the Federal Law No. 196-FZ of 12.10.1995 "On Road Traffic Safety".

Automated driving offers great possibilities in traffic safety advancement. However, evidence of safety cannot be provided by current validation methods. One promising solution to overcome the approval trap (Winner, 2015) could be the scenario-based approach. Unfortunately, this approach still results in a huge number of test cases. One possible way out is to show the current, incorrect path in the argumentation and strategy of vehicle automation, and focus on the systemic mechanisms of road traffic safety. This paper therefore argues the case for defining relevant scenarios and analysing them systemically in order to ultimately reduce the test cases. The relevant scenarios are based on the strengths and weaknesses, in terms of the driving task, for both the human driver and automation. Finally, scenarios as criteria for exclusion are being proposed in order to systemically assess the contribution of the human driver and automation to road safety.

AbstractCOVID-19 has affected every sector of our society, among which human mobility is taking a dramatic change due to quarantine and social distancing. We investigate the impact of the pandemic and subsequent mobility changes on road traffic safety. Using traffic accident data from the city of Los Angeles and New York City, we find that the impact is not merely a blunt reduction in traffic and accidents; rather, (1) the proportion of accidents unexpectedly increases for “Hispanic” and “Male” groups; (2) the “hot spots” of accidents have shifted in both time and space and are likely moved from higher-income areas (e.g., Hollywood and Lower Manhattan) to lower-income areas (e.g., southern LA and southern Brooklyn); (3) the severity level of accidents decreases with the number of accidents regardless of transportation modes. Understanding those variations of traffic accidents not only sheds a light on the heterogeneous impact of COVID-19 across demographic and geographic factors, but also helps policymakers and planners design more effective safety policies and interventions during critical conditions such as the pandemic.
