A “Smart City” is intended as an urban environment which, supported by pervasive ICT
systems, is able to offer advanced and innovative services to citizens in order to improve the …

In this work, a solution for clustering and tracking obstacles in the area covered by a LIDAR
sensor is presented. It is based on a combination of simple artificial intelligence techniques …

For the effective green communications amongst the vehicles, the energy-efficient routing
protocol for intelligent transportation system (ITS) is essential. Due to the high speed and …

Intelligent transport systems (ITS) have at their core technological systems that work together
to improve transportation performance. However, this performance becomes uncertain when …

The demand for passenger transportation, especially by road, has been increasing due to
globalisation, resulting in further delays and traffic congestion. This paper addresses issues …

Powertrains for commercial vehicles have evolved since the late nineteenth-century
invention of the ICE. In the revised second edition of Advanced Hybrid Powertrains for …

Nowadays science and technology offer us artificial intelligence (AI)“embodied” in robots.
They are able to self-learn, self-organize and self-reproduce, thanks to genetic algorithms …

Information about public transport travel time is a key indicator of service performance, and
is valued by passengers and operators. Among many different approaches, Support Vector …

We expect around 9 billions people on the Earth within 2050, 70% of them living in urban
environments. By that time, we have to be ready to support a never seen request for ICT …

This thesis aims to improve planning and executing population evacuations by integrating
advanced simulation techniques within urban road networks. Although much research has …
