This book offers an overview of the design, modeling, simulation and control of electric vehicle components and charging technologies, from the essentials of EV power electronics and battery management systems, to fault tolerance, charging systems and power quality control, wireless power transfer, and grid integration.

This book explores the principles of analysing maritime-transportation related practical problems using data-driven models, with a particular focus on machine learning. Coverage includes data-enabled methodologies, technologies, applications and case studies.

The use of ICT and ITS (intelligent transport systems) have supported the developments of more rapid, more reliable and more precisely timed strategies for freight transport. This book reviews recent developments in the field of ITS for freight logistics.

Focusing on the management of security and the principles of security technologies as applied to transport systems, this book equips readers with an understanding of what management actions need to be taken and what sort of technologies are suitable to deploy in defending against cyberattacks. Multiple modes of transport are covered.

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.

Given the volumes of global ship traffic, solutions are needed to reduce waiting times, costs, energy consumption and emissions. This systematic reference on ICT solutions and digitalisation in the ports and shipping sector covers new and existing technologies, different types of digital systems, and offers examples and case studies.

Offering systematic analysis of the movements and behaviours of bicycles and their riders, this book examines data collection and evaluation approaches and then goes on to develop a framework for the theory and modelling of bike traffic. Coverage includes verification techniques, and a chapter on riding characteristics for context.

This concise reference on driving simulators conveys the technology behind simulator systems used to test driver assistance systems and automated vehicles, including electric vehicles. Coverage includes architecture, computer graphics, evaluation parameters and applied examples.
