Unfortunately, considerate driving is not always easy to accomplish in the rush of everyday traffic. Surprisingly, while there Marc Hassenzahl1 are rules, regulations and campaigns to promote considerate marc.hassenzahl driving, the car itself often plays only a minor role. Here safety is @folkwang-uni.de considered foremost a matter of caring about the driver and passengers in the car rather than about the more vulnerable cyclists Matthias Laschke1 or pedestrians outside the car. To question this, we developed the matthias.laschke general idea of prosocial assistance systems. These systems create @folkwang-uni.de opportunities for drivers to experience prosocial behavior as enjoyable and meaningful. In the present paper, we discuss The Thies Schneider1 Gentleman. It supports the driver in giving way to pedestrians even thies.schneider under adverse conditions. We report how we identified giving way as @folkwang-uni.de a relevant prosocial practice and present an ideal experience design based on a series of empirical explorations.

In 307 Paragraph 1 of the German Road Traffic Regulations contrast to aggressive driving, only few studies exist (StVO) emphasizes that participation in road traffic in transportation, which focus on prosocial behavior requires constant cautiousness and courtesy. In in the broadest sense (e.g., Benmimoun et al., 2004; addition, every road user is obliged to neither injure, Ellinghaus, 1986; Ross & Antonowicz, 2004). To endanger nor impede other traffic members beyond promote prosocial behavior in traffic, it seems what seems unavoidable. In short: The “ideal” road necessary to make drivers (and others) aware of their user is attentive, considerate and supportive towards own actions and to support the implementation of others, especially the more vulnerable. Of course, “better” behaviors (Ellinghaus, 1986, p. 121). In this reality is different. While traffic becomes more dense sense, prosocial driving is an example of designing for at least in Germany (Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt, 2013), change (Hassenzahl & Laschke, 2015; Tromp, Hekkert, hindrances, misunderstandings, and breaches of rules & Verbeek, 2011). increase, leading to stress, conflict, anger and aggressive driving (Benmimoun, Neunzig, & Maag, Road users are highly affected by the built 2004; Deffenbacher, Lynch, Filetti, Dahlen, & Oetting, environment (e.g., Roessger, Schade, Schlag, & Gehlert, 2003; Galovski, Malta, & Blanchard, 2006; Parkinson, 2011, p. 111). As a consequence, structural changes 2001; Shinar, 2007; Shinar & Compton, 2004). (e.g., roundabouts, shared spaces) are the major tactic to instill considerate driving. However, the car as a Since attentive, considerate and supportive driving is platform for interventions is promising, too. It offers a crucial to road safety, exploring new ways of wide range of opportunities to provide feedback to the promoting considerate driving seems important. From driver and to suggest alternative, more prosocial a psychological perspective, considerate driving is a courses of action. Quite contrary to this, contemporary form of prosocial behavior. Prosocial behavior car design focuses on the driver and the passengers, circumscribes a “broad range of actions intended to their space and safety, and follows an aggressive, benefit one or more people other than oneself for individualistic ideal (Redshaw, 2011). example behaviors such as helping, comforting, sharing, cooperation, philanthropy” (Batson & Powell, To counteract this, we propose the notion of prosocial 2003, p. 463). Prosocial driving is defined as “driving assistance systems. Similarly to well-known assistance behaviors that potentially protect the wellbeing of systems designed for the driver’s safety and comfort, passengers, other drivers, and pedestrians, and that we suggest to explore assistance aimed at helping the promote effective cooperation with others in the driver to act more considerate, fair and supportive.

Initial exploration. first example of this is the Alliance of the Last Being a gentleman driver by giving way to Gentlemen (Knobel et al., 2013). It encourages pedestrians prosocial driving by suggesting potential ways of 314 behaving (e.g., giving way), activating related norms Identifying prosocial practices in traffic (e.g., become a role model, one of the last gentlemen on While the notion of prosocial assistance implies that — the road) and providing positive feedback, if acts of people need support in behaving considerately in considerate driving are performed. Another example is traffic, prosocial behavior should not be enforced, but 308 HörMal (Eckoldt et al., 2015), a system to increase the rather framed as an opportunity to experience an driver’s attention and to activate relevant norms by enjoyable and meaningful moment in everyday life augmenting the often overlooked German traffic sign (Hassenzahl, 2010; Hassenzahl et al., 2013). “Attention: Children” (i.e., school zones) with the sound of playing children rendered through the car’s audio A first step was to collect individual experiences of system. prosocial practices in traffic. In an online study, we asked 109 participants (72% female, age: M=30, In the present paper, we explore the idea of prosocial min=18, max=59) to describe positive or negative assistance further through The Gentleman. This is a prosocial moments in traffic – either from the conceptual design, which assists drivers in giving way perspective of a “giver” or “receiver”. We collected to pedestrians under adverse conditions. We describe forty-five positive experiences and used them as our inspiration, report the empirical exploration of a inspiration. One experience mentioned repeatedly by minimal prototype, and present an ideal interaction. both, driver (giver) and pedestrian (receiver), was to Note that the name Gentleman is not a thoughtless allow pedestrians to safely cross the road by slowing reference to gendered stereotypes about helping down or stopping. behavior. Aggressive driving is a rather male phenomenon (Shinar & Compton, 2004). In this respect, Understanding the practice of giving way to the Gentleman’s intention is to playfully appeal to the pedestrians self-image of particular male drivers. In addition, Based on the collected anecdotes, we distilled an there is a strong asymmetry in the vulnerability of essence of this positive and meaningful moment and people inside and outside cars, which creates a transformed it into an “experience pattern” striking imbalance of power. The Gentleman connotes (Hassenzahl et al., 2013) – a blueprint of an “ideal” way a particular idea of prosocial behavior, namely the of letting pedestrians cross the road. To support this, gentleman-like forgoing of a right from a position of we conducted a first exploration (see Figure 1). We strength. This also applies to women drivers, since it accompanied three participants in their cars (two is more about an imbalance of power among drivers women age of 34 [X1] and 30 [X2] years and a man age and pedestrians than about an imbalance of power of 31 [X3], all participants held a driving license for at among women and men. least 12 years).

The current study has generated the green driver concept to evaluate the incorporation of green driver to negative outcomes reduction of road transportation. The study aimed to identify the green driver’s behaviors affecting safe traveling by engaging two research phases. Phase one was to identify the safe driving behaviors using Systematic literature review and Content Analysis methods. Phase one identified twenty-four (24) sub-factors under reckless driving behaviors cluster, and nineteen (19) sub-factors under safe driving practice cluster. Second phase was to establish the actual weight value of the sub-factors using Grounded Group Decision Making (GGDM) and Value Assignment (VA) methods, in order to determine the value impact of each sub-factor to green driving.

With that we did have a glitch or 2 with one of them being that we had a no show to take care of the booth. As most of you know this is our fund raiser to which we use these funds to pay for all sorts of items including classes and safety items, and without the rest stop funds we wouldn’t be able to pay for these things. I note this as I received a call one morning from the rest stop attendant stating that there wasn’t anyone there to open and run the coffee stop! I was at work at the time and not able to run off to the rest stop but thanks to the Harter’s we got it up and running.
