Exploring technologies supporting future autonomous road vehicles and systems, with a particular focus on vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs), this book is essential reading for researchers and advanced students from academia, industry and government working on the automation of road vehicles.

This book provides a hands-on introduction to model-based requirements engineering and management by describing a set of views that form the basis for the approach.

This book describes the systems and equipment used for measuring and controlling boilers and heat-recovery steam-generators used in land and marine power plant and in process industries. It provides a practical guide to the design, installation, operation and maintenance of these systems.

With the rapid growth of wind energy worldwide, challenges in the operation and control of wind turbine systems are becoming increasingly important. This book conveys up to date theoretical and practical techniques applicable to the control of wind turbine systems.

This book describes the principles, design and applications of a new generation of analytical and diagnostic biomedical devices, characterized by their very small size, ease of use, multi-analytical capabilities and speed to provide handheld and mobile point-of-care (POC) diagnostics.

This book presents novel applications of mechatronics to provide better clinical rehabilitation services and new insights into emerging technologies utilized in soft robots for healthcare, and is essential reading for researchers and students working in these and related fields.

The control of the longitudinal, lateral and vertical dynamics of two and four-wheeled vehicles, both of conventional type as well as fully-electric, is important not only for general safety of vehicular traffic in general, but also for future automated driving. This book provides an overview of this important topic.

Protection of low-voltage electrical and electronic equipment and systems from lightning strikes and other power surges is vital for computing, telecommunications, transportation, power grids, distributed energy and charging installations. This systematic treatise covers surge causes, risk assessment, and protective measures.
