In an era marked by rapid technological advancements and globalization, the maritime transport and logistics industry stands at the forefront of transformation. Digital technologies are being used to improve efficiency, reliability, and sustainability within global maritime transportation and logistics, including for port management, end-to-end logistics coordination, and data sharing for supply chains.

A critical analysis of transport systems and projects in a wide range of cities. 

From reducing car dependency and expanding EVs to promoting public transport, sustainable mobility has been a hot topic in urban planning and the transportation sector. Arriving at this timely moment, Discourses on Sustainable Urban Mobility challenges the dominant discourses of motorization and the ineffective implementation of sustainable mobility. It argues that transport planning history is not merely a record of successful projects but a reflection of how transport has been provided, including who and what has been included or excluded. Using discourse analysis, the book examines physical transport infrastructure against the socially constructed realities in transport planning across a variety of international case studies, including Oxford, Bogotá, Chongqing, Rio de Janeiro, Copenhagen, and Delhi. In each case, the discursive frameworks surrounding transport and urban planning point toward promising pathways for achieving greater sustainability in transportation.

Driver information and assistance systems have emerged as an integral part of modern road vehicles in order to support the driver while driving. They make use of the newest information technologies in order to enhance driver awareness, safety and comfort, and thereby avoiding driver errors and accidents. Driver Adaptation to Information and Assistance Systems brings together recent work by the Marie-Curie Initial Training Network ADAPTATION. The project has studied drivers' behavioural adaptation to these new technologies from an integrative perspective working under a joint conceptual theoretical framework of behavioural adaptation that can be used to generate research hypotheses about how drivers will adapt to information and assistance systems and to derive guidelines for the design and deployment of such systems.

Driving Simulators for the Evaluation of Human-Machine Interfaces in Assisted and Automated Vehicles is a concise reference work on driving simulators, which conveys the technology behind simulator systems used to test driver assistance systems and automated vehicles, including electric vehicles. Coverage includes architecture, computer graphics, evaluation parameters and applied examples.
