Description:

Road traffic crashes result from a combination of factors related to the road layout, the vehicles, the road users and the way they interact. First the main causes of pedestrian fatalities and the safety effects of road measures (traffic lights, roundabouts and refuge islands) at pedestrian crossings before and after implementation were investigated. The results indicate that there is a strong evidence for the positive effect of these measures especially on the number of the pedestrian related accidents. In the next phase a site survey was conducted in order to estimate the irregular crossing manoeuvres of car drivers and pedestrians at designated pedestrian crossings. Having analysed the irregular movements according to the type of crossing it was found, that car drivers behave the most irregularly at crossings without a refuge island. Crossings equipped with flashing yellow lights, refuge islands and traffic lights require a much more appropriate behaviour from car drivers. In the next phase of the research the waiting time of pedestrians and the delay of vehicle drivers again at pedestrian crossings were surveyed. Our results suggest that there is a need for a strong contribution of the human and the engineering fields integrating the tools of cognitive infocommunications to obtain an even more positive change in the safety of vulnerable road users.

The cognitive entity generation: Emergent properties in social cognition

Laszlo Imre Komlosi Patrick Waldbuesser

Publication Name: 6th IEEE Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications Coginfocom 2015 Proceedings

Publication Date: 2016-01-25

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 439-442

Description:

The paper identifies the characteristics of the post Y-Generation in relation to information processing and knowledge management in order to support the growing awareness of the digital age and the assumption that socialization and acculturation in the digital era rests on a significant paradigm change in the realm of social cognition. Digital culture is claimed to be acquired by the members of modern societies in a smooth and seamless way the result of which is the permeability between human agents and non-human agents in the contexts of information processing and communicative interaction. The fuzzy borderlines within the digital environment are deemed to result in parallel manner of knowledge management as opposed to the traditionally constituted manner of linear processing. The paper elucidates the process in which traditional cultural narratives get fragmented while the members of the community get profoundly engaged in digital social environments to provide for a cognitive net of augmented virtual realities. The paper draws attention to parallel tendencies in the study of social cognition and points at a direction that necessitates a novel perception of digital culture and digital literacy.

Cognitive infocommunications in transport related decision making

Balázs Horváth

Publication Name: 6th IEEE Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications Coginfocom 2015 Proceedings

Publication Date: 2016-01-25

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 303-306

Description:

Cognitive sciences are widespread all across the sciences although transportation sciences did not discover it fully. The paper will give an overview on the possible usage and future of cognitive infocommunication in transportation. The scale is very wide due to the fact that transport is a collector or multidisciplinary science. It needs some technical knowledge some operational research some economy, issues from social sciences, statistical methods and the queue is long enough. In this paper I can highlight only few of the several aspects. It is more a paper to let start thinking on the more consciously usage of cognitive sciences in transport sciences.

Empirical identification of the creative cognitive unconscious processes in the collective individuation concerning the World-Clock models: Part II. Pauli's regiomontanus dream and its historical and spiritual background

Peter Varlaki Péter Baranyi

Publication Name: 6th IEEE Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications Coginfocom 2015 Proceedings

Publication Date: 2016-01-25

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 607-626

Description:

This part of the paper first deals with some methodological problems of the possible identification of special patterns in the hypothetical evolution of the broadening reflective consciousness ("collective individuation") related to the spiritual history of the 11th century. Furthermore, we intend to present some hypothetical important episodes of the process of the development of the consciousness, the collective individuation with partial interpretation of Pauli's Regiomontanus dream and subsequent famous dream series of 1954-1956, by their interpretation as a long run cognitive process.

Human decisions at irregular overtakings

D. Miletics

Publication Name: 6th IEEE Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications Coginfocom 2015 Proceedings

Publication Date: 2016-01-25

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 145-149

Description:

Overtaking (passing) is a high risk maneuver for road users, still drivers often accept this risk and moreover they often commit irregular overtaking maneuvers. The paper gives some overview on the background of traffic violations and irregular overtaking maneuvers. Driver's decisions before and during the irregular overtaking maneuvers are similar to the normal ones, except of the decision about committing the violation itself. A decision support application is recommended to reduce the number of overtaking violations and useless overtakings.

Description:

This paper aims to explore and identify the trends and main streams of digitalization and cognitive info-communications in the field of communication management in Europe. The analysis based upon the database of European Communication Monitor (ECM)1 2007-2015 which is the largest study on strategic communication worldwide. The paper focuses on the development of communication channels, online communication and social media, furthermore tends to give an overall picture about the rapidly growing role of social media as a tool among European communication practitioners. This electronic document is a "live" template and already defines the components of your paper [title, text, heads, etc.] in its style sheet. In the frame of our paper we give an overview about the trends and long term features - such as digitalization, info-communication, and social media - on communication management. What we can follow as clear trends during the 2007-2015 periods are as bellow: • development of communication channels/instruments; • coping with the digital evolution and the social web become the most important (strategic) issues for • communication management; • overall trend the interactive communication and online communities, and • emerging interactive channels: social media, networks and online videos. There are phenomena which appear in a particular year and become a constant element of the tools by today, and there are new elements in every year. The importance of printed media is radically reduced, and replaced by online media. With their help will be the stakeholders, the media and the pubic available. Next to the online communication and online media, the forging ahead of social media (social networks, blogs, etc.) is the most important source of changes. The importance of to be present in social media is gradually becoming more and more obvious to companies. Social media means a real dialogue, and it requires substantial resources. As the World Wide Web becomes more and more influential, the global media become the most important tools of the global communication management on reaching the public.

Empirical identification of the creative cognitive unconscious processes in the collective individuation concerning the World-Clock models: Part I. Pauli's World Clock dreams and some historical "world-Clock models"

Peter Varlaki Péter Baranyi

Publication Name: 6th IEEE Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications Coginfocom 2015 Proceedings

Publication Date: 2016-01-25

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 587-606

Description:

This paper discusses the empirical identification of hypothetical unconscious creative processes of collective individuation on the basis of Pauli-Jung "World-Clock" interpretations comparing them with their historical ante-descents starting from the "revolutionary" double rotating Sephirotic (partly astronomical partly pleromatic 'World-Clocklike') circles as "models" of the Book Bahir and the Royal Mirror of St Stephen. According to our Jungian depth-psychological hypothesis the latter can identify the significant broadening of the creative reflective consciousness.

Empirical findings in cognitive entity management: A challenge in the digital era

Laszlo Imre Komlosi Patrick Waldbuesser

Publication Name: 6th IEEE Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications Coginfocom 2015 Proceedings

Publication Date: 2016-01-25

Volume: Unknown

Page Range: 433-437

Description:

Our research project has been triggered by recent research findings in the field of cognitive info-communications. Our interest has been intrigued specifically by views and definitions of cognitive infocommunications (CogInfoCom) as formulated, e.g. in (Baranyi and Csapo, 2014 and Baranyi, Csapo and Sallai, eds, 2015). We have conducted empirical research to find out how the cognitive processes of the human mind co-evolve with infocommunications devices and interact with other cognitive systems. Our research suggests that smart systems (human and non-human cognizing entities alike) will be enabled in digital space to cooperate in efficient ways never experienced before, thus showing novel ways of information management. The central assumption of the paper draws on the claim about the irrevocable appearance of a new perception and conceptualization of information management and digital cognition. On the basis of an analysis of a representative sample of questionnaires of more than 1.700 respondents belonging to different generations of the staff of AUDI AG Germany and Audi Hungaria we put forward the characterization of a new phenomenon termed the Connected Cognitive Entity Generation (CCE Generation). The paper explains in what ways the concept of "generation CE" introduced in (Baranyi, Csapo and Sallai, eds, 2015) has been extended here. It is claimed that the perception of information management and the resulting behavior is not only faster involving greater complexities, but it also facilitates coping with virtualization in general, leading to efficiently shaping cultures taking into consideration augmented reality. The paper delineates the individual perspective on cognition and the socially embedded (connected) perspective of the cognitive personalities ("reasoning entities") on social cognition within a corporate environment. The paper makes an attempt to elaborate on the innovative drive which resides in interactive informational frameworks which consist of a multitude of connections of a cognitive personality to other cognitive entities, human and non-human alike. It is shown that management ought to be seen as the meta-level of organizational interactive behavior. The main objective of the paper is to show the possible impacts of digital culture on the nature of management and leadership in corporate settings. A particular focus of the paper is to throw light on the various aspects of identification for cognitive personalities in the context of corporate management.
