Road pricing is increasingly being implemented around the world to combat congestion, curb carbon and other polluting emissions, compensate for falling revenues from fuel duty, improve the efficiency of the existing transport infrastructure, and fund new transport projects. This book outlines some of the economic theory behind these schemes.

This book describes the concept, architecture and technologies of Autonomous Decentralized Systems (ADS) and their applications in intelligent control, information and service systems, with a focus on transport.

This book covers the current state of research in navigation, modelling and control of marine autonomous vehicles, and deals with various related topics, including collision avoidance, communication, and a range of applications.

This book provides a basis for full integration of electric vehicles into the smart grid, through the use of ICT tools. It looks at transport and energy system modelling, simulation and optimisation processes; vehicle on-line optimal control, estimation and prediction; energy system strategic planning; and services such as smart charging.

The book provides a comprehensive insight in the state of the art of C-ITS and automated driving, especially addresses the role of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) infrastructure, and presents the main achievements (both theory and practice), as well as the challenges in the domain in Europe, the US and Asia/Pacific.

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.
