Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin

A mixed-methods approach to understanding narrow passage behaviours
No full textNarrow passage interactions are unregulated interactions at road narrowings in which two opposing vehicles cannot both pass through simultaneously. Instead, some informal agreement must be reached between the drivers as to which vehicle will pass through first and which will wait. Existing research into narrow passage interactions is typically focused on either simplistic approaches where the vehicle arriving at their entrance to the narrowing always proceeds first, or focused on the forms of communication required to reach the necessary agreement and how this may translate to future situations where one of the vehicles is autonomously controlled. There appears to be little research into how heterogeneity in wider driver behaviour, vehicle types, and situational/environmental factors relating to the layout of the narrowing itself result in the diversity of interactions and behaviours that can be observed in reality. It is clear therefore that the decision-making processes undertaken by drivers approaching narrow passages are more complex than currently reflected in existing models. To rectify this issue, this paper describes a mixed-methods approach for narrow passage research, incorporating a questionnaire, on-road experiment, and driving simulator study. Using this integrated mixed-methods framework, it is shown that each research phase interacts and complements the other components of the research framework, such that the acknowledged weaknesses of each individual methodology are compensated by the other phases. Through highlighting the key findings of each research phase and showing how they were utilised throughout the project to widen the number of factors found to influence narrow passage decision-making, and consequently propose a new theoretical model for narrow passage cognition and behaviour that better reflects observed behaviours, it is argued that the described research methodology better addresses the complexities of cognitive research than a single approach.<br/

Investigating and modelling the factors affecting cooperative driving behaviours at narrow passage road interactions
No full textCooperative road interactions, road interactions in which drivers work together to complete manoeuvres (Kraft et al., 2019), have received increased attention from researchers looking to model the behaviours exhibited by drivers during the interactions, and those investigating how autonomous vehicles should interact with human-driven vehicles in a composite road transport system. This attention is due to the relative lack of traffic regulations that govern these interactions, with drivers instead relying on informal traffic rules and communications to safely navigate the situations. Narrow passage interactions - a “deadlock” cooperative road interaction in which two (or more) drivers driving in opposite directions encounter one another at a road narrowing – have, however, remained under-researched and thus inadequately represented in microscopic traffic models. For example, it is widely accepted that the vehicle type being interacted with alters driving behaviours, and yet there is limited investigation of this factor on the behaviours exhibited by drivers during narrow passage interactions, with little subsequent incorporation of the factor in driver behaviour models. This research, therefore, contributes to knowledge by improving the understanding of the factors that affect a car driver’s decision-making during narrow passage interactions and the modelling of this understanding in mathematical driver behaviour models. A questionnaire study was initially carried out to widen the range of factors found to influence narrow passage decision-making. Notably, the study found that the vehicle type and the number of vehicles being interacted with influenced the decision of drivers to give way at a road narrowing. The factors were then further explored in the qualitative analysis of the concurrent and retrospective verbalisations produced in an on-road study, which sought to gain an insight into the chronological relationships between what drivers perceive, how they interpret this information and the actions they subsequently undertake. The findings from the questionnaire study were validated by the on-road study and a theoretical framework of the decision-making processes of drivers during narrow passage interactions was also proposed. Using this theoretical framework, a rule-based driver behaviour model for narrow passage interactions was developed as part of a co-simulator driving simulation package. The bespoke narrow passage driving simulator, which sought to remedy limitations of previous simulator studies, was used in a simulator study consisting of both open-world and controlled drives. The results of the study further validated the findings of the previous studies and led to the development of a novel binary mixed logit model to represent narrow passage decision-making. This model was found to outperform model structures representative of the previous state-of-the-art in the narrow passage human factors and modelling literature, that were trained and evaluated using the same dataset
