Der Betrieb eines Verkehrsflugzeuges ist in eine hochkomplexe Aufgabe und bedarf der Beachtung vieler Parameter, Vorschriften und Einflusse. Von ganz besonderer Bedeutung ist hierbei das Thema Flugleistung. Sie beschreibt die Anforderungen an das technische Leistungsvermogen eines Flugzeuges eine bestimmte Aufgabe zu verrichten. Ausgehend von den aerodynamischen Gegebenheiten und den behordlichen Vorschriften, werden die wirtschaftlichen und flugbetrieblich relevanten Aspekte umfassend auf Basis der einzelnen Flugphasen Start, Steigflug, Streckenflug, Sinkflug, Anflug und Landung dargestellt. Dabei werden auch tangierende Themen umfassend behandelt, so dass das Buch weit uber den eigentlichen Themenkomplex Flugleistung hinausgeht.

Die Besonderheit dieses Buches liegt in seinem Praxisbezug und ist somit fur ausgezeichnet fur Piloten, Ingenieure und Flugschuler geeigent. Aus diesen Grund wurde bewusst auf eine akademische Sichtweise verzichtet. Zahlreiche praktische Beispiele verdeutlichen und vertiefen die Materie. Es ist das erste Buch in deutscher Sprache, das detailliert die flugbetrieblichen Zusammenhange im fliegerischen Alltag beschreibt."

Seine ausgepragte Wirtschaftlichkeit und Zuverlassigkeit machen den Dieselmotor zum bevorzugten Antriebskonzept fur Nutzfahrzeuge. Dabei zieht sich der Name Bosch wie ein roter Faden durch die gesamte Entwicklungsgeschichte des Dieselmotors: Bereits in den ersten serienreifen Dieselfahrzeugen sorgten Reihenpumpen von Bosch fur eine zuverlassige Einspritzung. Im folgenden Beitrag wird die Funktionsweise der verschiedenen Diesel-Einspritzsysteme von Bosch beschrieben sowie deren Potenzial, die in Zukunft immer strenger werdenden Anforderungen in Bezug auf Abgasemissionen, Wirt- schaftlichkeit und Fahrverhalten zu erfullen. Entwicklungen in der Dieseleinspritztechnik Rudolf Diesel liess sich den Prozess einer selbstzundenden Verbrennung bereits vor mehr als 100 jahren patentieren. Ende 1922 begann bei Bosch die Entwicklung eines Einspritzsystems fur Dieselmotoren. Die technischen Voraussetzungen waren gunstig: Bosch verfugte uber Erfahrungen mit Verbrennungsmotoren, die Ferti- gungstechnik war hoch entwickelt und vor allem konnten Kenntnisse, die man bei der Fertigung von Schmierpumpen gesammelt hatte, eingesetzt werden. Dennoch war dies fur Bosch ein grosses Wagnis, da es viele Aufgaben zu loesen gab.

Thanks to advances in computer technology in the last twenty years, navigation system, cabin environment control, ACC, advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) and automated driving have become a part of the automobile experience. Improvement in technology enables us to design these with greater flexibility and provide greater value to the driver (human centered design). To achieve this, research is required by laboratories, automobile and auto parts manufacturers. Although there has been a lot of effort in human factors research and development, starting from basic research to product development, the knowledge and experience has not been integrated optimally. The aim of this book is to collect and review the information for researchers, designers and developers to learn and apply them for further research and development of human centered design of future automotive technologies. Automotive human factors include psychological, physiological, mathematical, engineering and even sociological aspects. This book offers valuable insights to applying the right approach in the right place.

Der Verkehr spielt in unserer industrialisierten Gesellschaft zweifellos eine wichtige Rolle. Wir verdanken ihm nicht nur unsere Bewegungsfreiheit, son- dern auch unseren Wohlstand. Seit einigen Jahren werden jedoch die Grenzen der Mobilitat angesichts kilometerlanger Staus und zunehmender Umwelt- probleme uniibersehbar. Daher blieb das Thema "Verkehr" nicht mehr eini- gen Verkehrsingenieuren vorbehalten, sondern es wurde zum gesellschaftlich relevanten Politikum und erlangte eine breite offentliche Aufmerksamkeit. Mittlerweile befassen sich mit ihm, auBer renommierten Fachzeitschriften, Massenmedien aller Art. Gleichzeitig hat das internationale Interesse an der Erforschung des Ver- kehrs enorm zugenommen. Besonders unter Physikern ist in jiingster Zeit ein starkes Engagement zu verzeichnen, was zu einer rasanten wissenschaftlichen Entwicklung und einer wahren Veroffentlichungsfiut gefiihrt hat.! Dafiir gibt es folgende Griinde: - Einerseits besteht ein dringender Bedarf an Methoden zur Optimierung des Verkehrsfiusses, urn die bestehende Infrastruktur effizienter nutzen zu konnen. Entsprechende Forschungsprojekte werden staatlich gefordert. - Andererseits verspricht man sich durch den Verkauf intelligenter Verkehrs- leitsysteme europaweit einen jahrlichen Umsatz von 200 Milliarden DM [434].

With the rise of shared and networked vehicles, autonomous vehicles, and other transportation technologies, technological change is outpacing urban planning and policy. Whether urban planners and policy makers like it or not, these transformations will in turn result in profound changes to streets, land use, and cities. But smarter transportation may not necessarily translate into greater sustainability or equity. There are clear opportunities to shape advances in transportation, and to harness them to reshape cities and improve the socio-economic health of cities and residents. There are opportunities to reduce collisions and improve access to healthcare for those who need it most-particularly high-cost, high-need individuals at the younger and older ends of the age spectrum. There is also potential to connect individuals to jobs and change the way cities organize space and optimize trips. To date, very little discussion has centered around the job and social implications of this technology. Further, policy dialogue on future transport has lagged-particularly in the arenas of sustainability and social justice. Little work has been done on decision-making in this high uncertainty environment-a deficiency that is concerning given that land use and transportation actions have long and lagging timelines. This is one of the first books to explore the impact that emerging transport technology is having on cities and their residents, and how policy is needed to shape the cities that we want to have in the future. The book contains a selection of contributions based on the most advanced empirical research, and case studies for how future transport can be harnessed to improve urban sustainability and justice.
