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 begins with a “theoretical emergency kit” that provides the foundation necessary to understand the math and science behind the SAR technology.

This book demonstrates how bio-inspiration can lead to fully autonomous flying robots without relaying on external aids.

The book thus presents a thorough introduction to modern corrosion science and engineering.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the field of power semiconductors, ubiquitous devices that play an ever more important role in technology and in our lives.
