Thu, 01 Aug 2024 13:09:06 GMT

Intelligent transport systems (ITS) use ICT to deliver transport system improvements as an alternative to expanding physical infrastructure, thereby saving on investments and reducing environmental impact. ITS applications contribute to cleaner and safer transport, enhance economic growth, and hold the promise for sustainable mobility solutions for a future flourishing society.

This book provides an overview of ICT-based intelligent road transport systems with an emphasis on evaluation methods and recent evaluation results of ITS development and deployment. The first edition has been widely used internationally, and while its scientific and practical information is still very valuable, this fully updated second edition contains new, up-to-date results, especially regarding the impact assessment of cooperative and automated driving.

Topics covered in the book include: impact assessment of (cooperative) ITS, including automated driving; frameworks and methods for ITS evaluation; a system architecture for future mobility; opportunities and challenges for future ITS deployment.

With chapters from an international panel of leading experts, this book is essential reading for researchers and professionals from industry, academia and authorities in the ITS domain.

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) have been a domain of substantial development for more than thirty years, enhancing safety, (energy and fuel) efficiency, comfort, and economic growth. Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS), also referred to as Connected Vehicles, are a prelude to, and pave the way towards road transport automation. Vehicle connectivity and information exchange will be an important asset for future highly-automated driving. The book provides a comprehensive insight in the state of the art of C-ITS and automated driving, especially addresses the important 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.

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) use information and communications technologies (ICT) to deliver transport improvements instead of extending physical infrastructure, thereby saving money and reducing environmental impact. This book provides an overview of ICT-based intelligent road transport systems with an emphasis on evaluation methods and recent evaluation results of ITS development and deployment. Topics covered include: ITS evaluation policy; frameworks and methods for ITS evaluation; ITS impact evaluation; the network perspective; field operational tests (FOTs); assessing transport measures using cost-benefit and multicriteria analysis; technical assessment of the performance of in-vehicle systems; opportunities and challenges in the era of new pervasive technology; evaluation of automated driving functions; user-related evaluation of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and automated driving; evaluation of traffic management; performance assessment of a wet weather pilot system; case studies from China; heavy vehicle overload control benefit and cost. With chapters from an international panel of leading experts, this book is essential reading for researchers and advanced students from academia, industry and government working in intelligent road transport systems.
