This Handbook presents a comprehensive and rigorous overview of the state-of-the-art on Smart Cities. It provides the reader with an authoritative, exhaustive one-stop reference on how the field has evolved and where the current and future challenges lie. From the foundations to the many overlapping dimensions (human, energy, technology, data, institutions, ethics etc.), each chapter is written by international experts and amply illustrated with figures and tables with an emphasis on current research. The Handbook is an invaluable desk reference for researchers in a wide variety of fields, not only smart cities specialists but also by scientists and policy-makers in related disciplines that are deeply influenced by the emergence of intelligent cities. It should also serve as a key resource for graduate students and young researchers entering the area, and for instructors who teach courses on these subjects. The handbook is also of interest to industry and business innovators.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Internet of Vehicles, IOV 2017, held in Kanazawa, Japan, in November 2017. The 19 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. They deal with advances in the state of the art and practice of the IoV architectures, protocols, services and applications, as well as identifying emerging research topics and define the future directions of Internet of Vehicles.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 5th International Conference on the Internet of Vehicles, IOV 2018, which took place in Paris, France, in November 2018. This year’s theme was “Technologies and Services Towards Smart City”. The 21 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 41 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections named: IoV communications and networking; IoV clouds and services; vehicular modeling and simulation; and vehicular security and privacy.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 6th International Conference on the Internet of Vehicles, IOV 2019, which took place in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, in November 2019. The 23 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 101 submissions. The papers focus on providing new efficient solutions with digital intervehicular data transfer and overall communications. Yet, IOV is different from Telematics, Vehicle Ad hoc Networks, and Intelligent Transportation, in which vehicles like phones can run within the whole network, and obtain various services by swarm intelligent computing with people, vehicles, and environments.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Internet of Vehicles, IOV 2016, held in Nadi, Fiji, in December 2016. The 22 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 55 submissions. IOV 2016 is intended to play an important role for researchers and industry practitioners to exchange information regarding advancements in the state of art and practice of IOV architectures, protocols, services, and applications, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future directions of IOV.

Smart Cities Cybersecurity and Privacy examines the latest research developments and their outcomes for safe, secure, and trusting smart cities residents. Smart cities improve the quality of life of citizens in their energy and water usage, healthcare, environmental impact, transportation needs, and many other critical city services. Recent advances in hardware and software, have fueled the rapid growth and deployment of ubiquitous connectivity between a city's physical and cyber components. This connectivity however also opens up many security vulnerabilities that must be mitigated. Smart Cities Cybersecurity and Privacy helps researchers, engineers, and city planners develop adaptive, robust, scalable, and reliable security and privacy smart city applications that can mitigate the negative implications associated with cyber-attacks and potential privacy invasion. It provides insights into networking and security architectures, designs, and models for the secure operation of smart city applications. - Consolidates in one place state-of-the-art academic and industry research - Provides a holistic and systematic framework for design, evaluating, and deploying the latest security solutions for smart cities - Improves understanding and collaboration among all smart city stakeholders to develop more secure smart city architectures

This edited book comprises papers about the impacts, benefits and challenges of connected and automated cars. It is the third volume of the LNMOB series dealing with Road Vehicle Automation. The book comprises contributions from researchers, industry practitioners and policy makers, covering perspectives from the U.S., Europe and Japan. It is based on the Automated Vehicles Symposium 2015 which was jointly organized by the Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) and the Transportation Research Board (TRB) in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in July 2015. The topical spectrum includes, but is not limited to, public sector activities, human factors, ethical and business aspects, energy and technological perspectives, vehicle systems and transportation infrastructure. This book is an indispensable source of information for academic researchers, industrial engineers and policy makers interested in the topic of road vehicle automation.
