This volume highlights the latest advances, innovations, and
applications in the field of asphalt pavement technology, as
presented by leading international researchers and engineers at the
5th International Symposium on Asphalt Pavements & Environment
(ISAP 2019 APE Symposium), held in Padua, Italy on September 11-13,
2019. It covers a diverse range of topics concerning materials and
technologies for asphalt pavements, designed for sustainability and
environmental compatibility: sustainable pavement materials,
marginal materials for asphalt pavements, pavement structures,
testing methods and performance, maintenance and management
methods, urban heat island mitigation, energy harvesting, and Life
Cycle Assessment. The contributions, which were selected by means
of a rigorous international peer-review process, present a wealth
of exciting ideas that will open novel research directions and
foster multidisciplinary collaboration among different specialists.
This book focuses on the generalization of map features, providing
descriptions and classifying groups of map objects into six
categories: point clusters, groups of contours, road networks,
river networks, continuous areal features and discrete areal
features. Discussing the methods and algorithms in map
generalization in equal measure, it also describes the approaches
for describing map features. The book is a valuable reference for
graduates and researchers who are interested in cartography and
geographic information science/systems, especially those in
automated map generalization and spatial databases construction.
The fifth edition of this classic textbook sets out the essential
techniques needed for a solid grounding in the surveying. The
popular and trusted textbook covers the traditional topics such as
levelling, measurement of angles, measuring distances, and how to
carry out traversing and compute coordinates, as well as the latest
technological advances. It is packed with clear illustrations,
exercises and worked examples, making it both a comprehensive study
aid for students and a reliable reference tool for practitioners.
This text is aimed at students studying surveying as either part of
a civil engineering, building or construction course or as a
separate discipline. It is also useful for students who undertake
surveying as an elective subject and is a useful resource for
practising surveyors. New to this Edition: - The latest
developments in Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)
particularly the introduction of network RTK and OS Net and their
applications - Recent developments in survey instruments, methods
and digital technologies including image processing with total
stations and laser planners, developments in data processing and
integration and updates on Ordnance Survey mapping products
