Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Einführung in die Verkehrssimulation: Ein
Book SynopsisMobilität dominiert unser Leben. Der Straßenverkehr ist sowohl Keimzelle als auch Lebensader unserer modernen Gesellschaft. Doch wie kann man diesen fassen, planen und berechnen? Während der öffentliche Nahverkehr zumeist vorgegebenen Strukturen folgt – wie zum Beispiel ein Zug seinen Schienen – wirken die Bewegungen des Individualverkehrs chaotisch für den außenstehenden Beobachter. Dieses essential bringt Ordnung in das Chaos und setzt sich mit der mikroskopischen Verkehrssimulation auseinander. Michael Moltenbrey konzentriert sich auf die Vermittlung eines sehr einfachen und rudimentären Verkehrsmodells, welches die Bewegungen einzelner Fahrzeuge abbildet. Auf den ersten Blick sind die Bewegungen der einzelnen Verkehrsteilnehmer unvorhersehbar. Auf den zweiten erkennt man wiederkehrende Strukturen und Muster, die helfen, das Gesamtkonzept Verkehr besser zu erfassen.Table of ContentsEinführung.- Was ist Verkehr?.- Welche Arten von Simulationen gibt es?.- Ein einfaches Zellularautomatenmodell.- Es geht auch schneller –Überholmanöver und Mehrspurigkeit. - Auf dem Weg zu einer Stadt – Kreuzungen und Ampeln.- Nicht nur Autos fahren – Heterogener Verkehr.- Gesamtmodell.- Diskussion und Ausblick.

Springer Smart Mobility in Practice Good Car Bad Car No
Book SynopsisThis non-fictional, yet storytelling, book questions the role of cars and their impact, both for now and in the future. It is not enough to just consider autonomous driving, driving bans in Europe, and combustion engines. Our future and the future of our cities and country living depend on how we can coordinate different needs and different means. Finally, we ask ourselves: What is the status of the car today and in the future? Are we living and working in vehicles more than ever? And who benefits from autonomous driving and what are we giving up for it?In this book, the editor's work illustrates and critically assesses the role of cars. It showcases project examples and introduces easy to use checklists. The authors show how the car influences our business and private lives, and how the car stimulates our appetite for adventures, recreation, and survival. Emerging throughout more than a century, purposefully deployed, and innovativelyused, the automobile grew into our mobility DNA b

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Innovations for Metropolitan Areas: Intelligent
Book SynopsisThis book presents human-centered concepts and solutions for mobility, logistics and infrastructure that will make our growing metropolitan areas more livable and sustainable.The still accelerating megatrend of urbanization is leading to constantly growing metropolitan areas. This creates a whole series of challenges for municipalities, as well as citizens, such as overcrowded traffic routes, limited building space and an increasingly difficult supply situation. With this book we want to answer the following question: How can people live in densely populated areas and meet their needs in terms of mobility, freedom, self-determination, security, prosperity, communication or in other words: how can metropolitan regions be made humane? The answer to this question requires innovative ideas and approaches in various areas: Sustainable designs of infrastructure Economically and ecologically efficient logistics and mobility approaches Intelligent applications for navigation and communication All these ideas must be measured against the needs of citizens and should thus be developed following a human-centered design approach. This ensures that innovative solutions will be widely accepted by the public. In addition, they also have the potential to turn citizens into active co-designers of future metropolitan areas.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Autonomes Fahren und die Zukunft der Mobilität
Book SynopsisAutos werden sich in wenigen Jahren selbst steuern, darüber sind sich alle einig. Fahrzeughersteller und Zulieferer forschen weltweit intensiv daran, und auch die großen IT-Multis wie Google und Apple sehen das als Chance, ihre angestammten Märkte zu erweitern. Doch was bedeutet diese bevorstehende Revolution für die Verkehrsträger der Zukunft, für die vielen davon betroffenen Branchen, für unsere Städte, für die Art und Weise, wie wir leben und arbeiten werden?Der Umwelt- und Sozialpsychologe Marco Lalli hat die aktuellen technischen Umwälzungen zum Anlass genommen, deren Konsequenzen für unser Zusammenleben weiter zu denken. Das selbstfahrende Automobil wird nicht nur den Fahrer zuerst entlasten und dann überflüssig machen, es wird neue Geschäftsmodelle hervorbringen und bislang bewährte verschwinden lassen, es wird bestimmte Verkehrsträger zur Bedeutungslosigkeit verdammen und nicht zuletzt das Gesicht unserer Städte radikal verändern. In seinem spannenden Aufsatz beschreibt Marco Lalli eine nicht mehr allzu ferne Zukunft und mahnt die Verantwortlichen in Politik und Wirtschaft, sich darauf einzustellen.

Springer Verlag, Singapore If there were no Shinkansen
Book SynopsisThis book is the first book written in English about the secret story of the birth of the Shinkansen in Japan and its subsequent developments. The author, Mr.ShuichiroYamanouchi, a former chairman of East Japan Railway (JR East), addresses what the essence of Shinkansen technology is and how it could be achieved in such a short time. And the book, written based on his long experience in railway engineering and management, gives readers a bird's-eye view of the Japaneserailwayas a whole, and the technical philosophy of his great career behind it. In this book, its whole picture is clarified, that is, the world's first 200 km/h running, dealing with troubles after the opening, and development of the 300 km/h commercial operation after that, including the failure stories encountered in the process. These gave a big stimulation to the development of other high-speed railways, and this book helps readers to learn about the accumulated experiences of Japanese high-speed railways that have not been revealed so far, such as railway safety, noise against the environment, railway privatization, harmonization of management and engineering, and so forth.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Geotechnics of Roads Fundamentals
Book SynopsisAt first glance, roads seem like the simplest possible geotechnical structures. However, analysis of these structures runs up against complexities related to the intense stresses experienced by road surfaces, their intense interaction with climate, and the complicated behavior of the materials used in road construction.Modern mechanistic approaches to road design provide the tools capable of developing new technical solutions. However, use of these approaches requires deep understanding of the behavior of constituent materials and their interaction with water and heat which has recently been acquired thanks to advances in geotechnical engineering. The author comprehensively describes and explains these advances and their use in road engineering in the two-volume set Geotechnics of Roads, compiling information that had hitherto only been available in numerous research papers. Geotechnics of Roads: Fundamentals presents stresses and strains in road strucTable of ContentsDistribution of stresses and strains in roads. Unsaturated soil mechanics applied to road materials.

ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc VBR Video Traffic Models
Book SynopsisThere has been a phenomenal growth in video applications over the past few years. An accurate traffic model of Variable Bit Rate (VBR) video is necessary for performance evaluation of a network design and for generating synthetic traffic that can be used for benchmarking a network. A large number of models for VBR video traffic have been proposed in the literature for different types of video in the past 20 years. Here, the authors have classified and surveyed these models and have also evaluated the models for H.264 AVC and MVC encoded video and discussed their findings.Table of ContentsINTRODUCTION vii CHAPTER 1.
