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. In this perspective, 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. The book has been written by an invited panel of experts, thus covering the relevant sub-disciplines, and is addresed to students, engineers, and scholars, as well as those who require a state-of-the-art overview of traffic simulation today.

Preface - Macroscopic to vehicle embedded microscopic simulation - Lane changing - People centered and rail simulation - Simulation application

The book first elaborates on the current ecology of the World Wide Web, where autonomous information sources come and go in dynamic and unpredictable ways.

Leader of the current generation of architects, Rem Koolhaas with his Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) is justly considered as the most important protaganist of contemporary architecture.

This book unites an international team of leading researchers and educators around the theme of knowledge dialogue.

With a novel, less classical approach to the subject, the authors have written a book with the conviction that signal processing should be taught to be fun.
