Provides researchers and engineers with up to date research results and state-of-the art technologies in the area of intelligent vehicles and transportation systems Includes case studies plus surveys of the latest research Covers hot topics including driver assistance systems; cooperative vehicle-highway systems; collision avoidance; pedestrian protection; image, radar and lidar signal processing; V2V and V2I communications

As transport networks become more congested, there is a growing need to adopt policies that manage demand and make full use of existing assets. Advances in information technology are now such that intelligent transportation systems (ITS) offer real potential to meet this challenge by monitoring current conditions, predicting what might happen in the future, and providing the means to manage transport proactively and on an area-wide basis. Modeling and Simulation of Intelligent Transportation Systems provides engineers, professionals, and researchers an intuitive appreciation for ITS theory, related sensor technologies, and other practical applications, including traffic management, safety, design optimization, and sustainability. Provides the theory and practical applications of Intelligent Transport Theory which will be helpful as highway construction recedes as a sustainable long-term solution. Includes several case studies that illustrate the concepts presented throughout.

In recent years, the transport simulation of large road networks has become far more rapid and detailed, and many exciting developments in this field have emerged. Within this volume, the authors describe the simulation of automobile, pedestrian, and rail traffic coupled to new applications, such as the embedding of traffic simulation into driving simulators, to give a more realistic environment of driver behavior surrounding the subject vehicle. New approaches to traffic simulation are described, including the hybrid mesoscopic-microscopic model and floor-field agent-based simulation. Written by an invited panel of experts, this book addresses students, engineers, and scholars, as well as anyone who needs a state-of-the-art overview of transport simulation today.

Building effective and user-friendly transportation systems is one of the big challenges for engineers in the 21st century. There is an increasing need to understand, model, and govern such systems at both, the individual and the society level. Traffic and transportation scenarios are extraordinarily appealing for Distributed Artificial Intelligence, and (multi-)agent technology in particular. This book gives an overview of recent advances in agent-based transportation systems.
