The book is dedicated as an auxiliary literature for academic staff of universities, research institutes, as well as for students of transport teaching. The aim of the conference was to present the achievements of national and foreign research and scientific centers dealing with the issues of rail, road, air and sea transport in technical and technological aspects, as well as organization and integration of the environment conducting research and education in the discipline of civil engineering and transport. International Scientific Conference Transport of the 21st Century was held in Ryn, Poland, in the 9th-12th of June 2019. The research areas of the conference were as follows: * transport infrastructure and communication engineering, * construction and operation of means of transport, * logistics engineering and transport technology, * organization and planning of transport, including public transport, * traffic control systems in transport, * transport telematics and intelligent transportation systems, * smart city and electromobility, * safety engineering and ecology in transport, * automation of means of transport. It also used by specialists from central and local government authorities in the area of deepening knowledge of modern technologies and solutions used for planning, managing and operating transport.

Dominik Pelzer presents a framework for investigating and optimizing the profitability of energy storage systems. The author deploys the methodology to assess the benefits of electric vehicle smart charging and to investigate the financial viability of arbitrage using battery energy storage systems. He evaluates the factors influencing profitability and identifies conditions for profitable operation. Due to the framework's modular design, these considerations can be extended to a large variety of storage technologies and scenarios to identify optimal operating parameters.

In diesem essential wendet sich Joern Pachl an Fachleute des deutschen Bahnbetriebs, die sich uber charakteristische Unterschiede auslandischer Betriebsverfahren gegenuber den im deutschen Bahnwesen ublichen Grundsatzen informieren moechten. Obwohl die technischen Grundzuge von Eisenbahnen uberall gleich sind, zeigt der Autor, dass die Betriebsverfahren in erheblichem Mass differieren. Die Unterschiede liegen nicht im Detail, sondern betreffen selbst grundlegende Definitionen im System Bahn. Da im Rahmen dieser kompakten Darstellung keine Detailbeschreibungen einzelner Lander moeglich sind, konzentriert sich der Autor auf Bereiche mit besonders relevanten Unterschieden zum deutschen Bahnbetrieb, die an typischen Beispielen demonstriert werden. Neben einigen kleineren Erganzungen und Prazisierungen wurde in der zweiten Auflage die Anschaulichkeit der Abbildungen durch UEbergang zu farbigen Darstellungen deutlich erhoeht.

This volume focuses on recent advances in the planning, design, construction and management of new and existing roads with a particular focus on safety, sustainability and resilience. It discusses field experience through case studies and pilots presented by leading international subject-matter specialists. Chapters were selected from the 18th International Road Federation World Meeting & Exhibition, Dubai 2021.

Fur Vorlesungen an der TU Braunschweig entstand als systematische Einfuhrung in das Thema der Siche rungstechnik der Bahnen im Stadtverkehr ein Skript, das jetzt in Form dieses essentials der Allgemeinheit zuganglich gemacht wird. Bisher wurde in verfugbaren Lehrbuchern der Bahnsicherungstechnik auf die Besonderheiten bei Stadtschnellbahnen und Strassenbahnen eher am Rande verwiesen, was jedoch der grossen Bedeutung dieser Bahnsysteme fur den oeffentlichen Personennahverkehr nicht gerecht wird.

Schwerpunkt des Buches bildet die Auseinandersetzung mit den sich wechselseitig beeinflussenden Aspekten von Mobilitat, Verkehr und Raumnutzung. Neben einer Beschaftigung mit den fur das Mobilitatsverhalten bzw. Verkehr grundlegenden menschlichen Bedurfnissen wird vor allem auch auf die speziellen topografischen Gegebenheiten in Gebirgsraumen eingegangen. Diese regionalspezifischen Aspekte erfordern zusammen mit sich standig andernden globalen Rahmenbedingungen eine uber die traditionellen Modelle der Verkehrs- und Regionalwissenschaft hinausgehende interdisziplinare Sichtweise. Der in diesem Buch beschriebene Modellansatz stellt eine generelle Grundlage zur Entwicklung und auch Evaluierung zukunftsfahiger Planungsstrategien dar.

Philip Kruger liefert einen UEberblick zur Architektur Intelligenter Verkehrssysteme (IVS) und vermittelt wichtige Grundlagen und Entwicklungstrends im Themenfeld. Der Autor beschreibt den Fortschritt in Deutschland zur Erarbeitung einer umfassenden und intermodalen IVS-Architektur und bewertet diesen genauer. Fur die koordinierte und harmonisierte Weiterentwicklung von IVS werden Rahmenbedingungen benoetigt, wie sie in einer nationalen IVS-Architektur beschrieben sind. Dabei darf eine nationale IVS-Architektur nicht als Hemmnis fur Innovationen verstanden werden, sondern vielmehr als Basis jeder systematischen Weiter- und Neuentwicklung von IVS.

Featuring more than 75 3D scale drawings and explaining their individual strengths and weaknesses, this book is the only comprehensive reference for car park layout design. The book also covers the practical design of parking elements including ramps, stalls, and traffic aisles, and provides guidance on key issues including security, fire escape requirements, drainage, signage and barrier control. The new edition includes: - Issues surrounding provision for charging hybrid and electrically powered vehicles - a topic as yet poorly addressed in the literature. - Optimum entry and exit locations that affect layout. - 50% more drawings - including scale drawings that can be used as templates in the layout design process.

We are at the beginning of the next major disruptive cycle caused by computing. In transportation, the term Autonomous, Connected, Electric, and Shared (ACES) has been coined to represent the enormous innovations enabled by underlying electronics technology. The benefits of ACES vehicles range from improved safety, reduced congestion, and lower stress for car occupants to social inclusion, lower emissions, and better road utilization due to optimal integration of private and public transport. ACES is creating a new automotive and industrial ecosystem that will disrupt not only the technical development of transportation but also the management and supply chain of the industry. Disruptions caused by ACES are prompted by not only technology but also by a shift from a traditional to a software-based mindset, embodied by the arrival of a new generation of automotive industry workforce. In Autonomous, Connected, Electric and Shared Vehicles: Disrupting the Automotive and Mobility Sectors, Umar Zakir Abdul Hamid provides an overview of ACES technology for cross-disciplinary audiences, including researchers, academics, and automotive professionals. Hamid bridges the gap among the book's varied audiences, exploring the development and deployment of ACES vehicles and the disruptions, challenges, and potential benefits of this new technology. Topics covered include: Recent trends and progress stimulating ACES growth and development; ACES vehicle overview; Automotive and mobility industry disruptions caused by ACES; Challenges of ACES implementation; Potential benefits of the ACES ecosystem While market introduction of ACES vehicles that are fully automated and capable of unsupervised driving in an unstructured environment is still a long-term goal, the future of mobility will be ACES, and the transportation industry must prepare for this transition. Autonomous, Connected, Electric and Shared Vehicles is a necessary resource for anyone interested in the successful and reliable implementation of ACES." ACES are destined to be a game changers on the roads, altering the face of mobility." Daniel Watzenig, Professor Graz University of Technology, Austria
