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.

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 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.

This book brings together leading experts in the areas of urban planning, transport planning and strategy, traffic management and transport technology to present a cohesive work on the policy principles and practical applications to drive urban mobility services in tomorrow's smart cities.

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.

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.

Traveling US 25 through the Carolinas today is a much more pleasant experience than it was in the 1700s. Then, the road from the Tennessee Cherokee Towns to Augusta, Georgia, was a Cherokee trading path that followed a bison trace to the navigable port on the Savannah River. Drovers came from as far as Kentucky herding hogs, turkeys and mules. Lowcountry South Carolinians traveled by stagecoach and wagon to the foothills and mountains, staying for months. The Augusta Road, Saluda Gap and Buncombe Turnpike became the Dixie Highway Carolina Division and then US Route 25 by 1931. Authors Anne Peden and Jim Scott travel the trading path and concrete highway to explore this fascinating history.

Electric Vehicles are part of the solution to both reducing urban air pollution and staving off climate change. This book covers the latest in charging technology, both stationary as well as wireless and in-motion. Grid integration, simulations, fast charging, and battery management are also addressed.

Shared mobility is gaining increasing attention in private and public sectors. Serving as a source of information on how best to shape shared vehicle systems of the future, this book contributes knowledge on key facets of shared mobility. It includes shared vehicle systems as well as shared automated vehicle systems.

Electric and hybrid vehicles have been globally identified to be the most environmental friendly road transportation. Energy Systems for Electric and Hybrid Vehicles provides comprehensive coverage of the three main energy system technologies of these vehicles - energy sources, battery charging and vehicle-to-grid systems.

"Nothing says freedom like the great American road trip, especially when you're on the historic Lincoln Highway in Iowa. Join author Darcy Maulsby as she rediscovers the past, savors some classic Iowa recipes and explores authentic Americana along the timeless Lincoln Highway." --

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.

This book explores electromagnetic compatibility in the context of automotive electronics, with a close relation to functional safety as required by ISO 26262.

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.
