This book introduces readers to mobile information services for networks. The content is divided into eight chapters, each of which presents a specific concept and the latest related developments in mobile information services. Mobile information services for networks can be defined as platform-independent functional entities that provide various services based on the communication network platform. The book discusses the three main supporting technologies for mobile information services: neighbor discovery in the data link layer; routing and balanced association in the network layer; and community structure detection in the application layer. Lastly, the book describes the development of applications based on the authors’ mobile information service platform, as well as related key technologies in the domains of intelligent transportation, smart tourism, and mobile payment, such as trajectory analysis, location recommendation, and mobile behavior authentication, which are promoting the development of mobile information services. This book offers a valuable reference guide for researchers in the field of computer science and technology, as well as those in the field of network mobile information service technology.

Data Analytics for Intelligent Transportation Systems provides in-depth coverage of data-enabled methods for analyzing intelligent transportation systems (ITS), including the tools needed to implement these methods using big data analytics and other computing techniques. The book examines the major characteristics of connected transportation systems, along with the fundamental concepts of how to analyze the data they produce. It explores collecting, archiving, processing, and distributing the data, designing data infrastructures, data management and delivery systems, and the required hardware and software technologies. It presents extensive coverage of existing and forthcoming intelligent transportation systems and data analytics technologies. All fundamentals/concepts presented in this book are explained in the context of ITS. Users will learn everything from the basics of different ITS data types and characteristics to how to evaluate alternative data analytics for different ITS applications. They will discover how to design effective data visualizations, tactics on the planning process, and how to evaluate alternative data analytics for different connected transportation applications, along with key safety and environmental applications for both commercial and passenger vehicles, data privacy and security issues, and the role of social media data in traffic planning. Data Analytics for Intelligent Transportation Systems will prepare an educated ITS workforce and tool builders to make the vision for safe, reliable, and environmentally sustainable intelligent transportation systems a reality. It serves as a primary or supplemental textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate ITS courses and a valuable reference for ITS practitioners. - Utilizes real ITS examples to facilitate a quicker grasp of materials presented - Contains contributors from both leading academic and commercial domains - Explains how to design effective data visualizations, tactics on the planning process, and how to evaluate alternative data analytics for different connected transportation applications - Includes exercise problems in each chapter to help readers apply and master the learned fundamentals, concepts, and techniques - New to the second edition: Two new chapters on Quantum Computing in Data Analytics and Society and Environment in ITS Data Analytics

This book takes a look at fully automated, autonomous vehicles and discusses many open questions: How can autonomous vehicles be integrated into the current transportation system with diverse users and human drivers? Where do automated vehicles fall under current legal frameworks? What risks are associated with automation and how will society respond to these risks? How will the marketplace react to automated vehicles and what changes may be necessary for companies? Experts from Germany and the United States define key societal, engineering, and mobility issues related to the automation of vehicles. They discuss the decisions programmers of automated vehicles must make to enable vehicles to perceive their environment, interact with other road users, and choose actions that may have ethical consequences. The authors further identify expectations and concerns that will form the basis for individual and societal acceptance of autonomous driving. While the safety benefits of such vehicles are tremendous, the authors demonstrate that these benefits will only be achieved if vehicles have an appropriate safety concept at the heart of their design. Realizing the potential of automated vehicles to reorganize traffic and transform mobility of people and goods requires similar care in the design of vehicles and networks. By covering all of these topics, the book aims to provide a current, comprehensive, and scientifically sound treatment of the emerging field of “autonomous driving".
