In today's modern society, to reduce the carbon dioxide gas
emission from motor vehicles and to save mother nature, electric
vehicles are becoming more practical. As more people begin to see
the benefits of this technology, further study on the challenges
and best practices is required. The Handbook of Research on Battery
Management Systems and Routing Problems in Electric Vehicles
focuses on the integration of renewable energy sources with the
existing grid, introduces a power exchange scenario in the
prevailing power market, considers the use of the electric vehicle
market for creating cleaner and transformative energy, and
optimizes the control variables with artificial intelligence
techniques. Covering key topics such as artificial intelligence,
smart grids, and sustainable development, this major reference work
is ideal for government officials, industry professionals,
policymakers, researchers, scholars, practitioners, academicians,
instructors, and students.
'Sweet, funny, heartbreaking but uplifting at the same time. I
absolutely LOVED this book.'Alice Fletcher doesn't like to take
chances and she certainly doesn't believe in fate. Three years
after the end of her last long-term relationship, she's in no hurry
to risk another heartbreak. But fate has other plans. One day, on
her drive home, Alice comes across a man, dazed and lost, by the
side of a wrecked car. And with no one else around, Alice goes to
help. TV star Jimmy Mack is riding the crest of the career wave one
minute, and the next he's staring at his crashed car. But when
Alice comes to rescue him, things start to look up. What Alice and
Jimmy discover next changes everything. Fate might have marked them
out for each other, but somehow their destinies have got tangled.
Will they get their happily-ever-after, or might their time
together be shorter than either of them would hope... Join Jill
Steeples for this truly 'out of this world' romance and a love
story to remember. Perfect for fans of Jessica Redland, Cathy
Bramley and Miranda Dickinson. Please note that this book was
previously published as Desperately Seeking Heaven. What readers
are saying about Jill Steeples: 'So beautiful. So soothing. Filled
me with warmth for quite sometime after reading it. Amongst all
other things Jill Steeples teaches readers to dream, believe, love
and live life to the fullest.' 'What a fabulous book! I was so
engrossed nothing was getting in the way of reading this. The
ending was not what I expected - and I've never been so pleased to
be wrong footed!' 'This is so much more than a 'romance' and the
twists and turns had me desperate to know how it was all going to
turn out.' 'So I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my cheeks
as I write. I have literally just put down this amazing book. I
have read some brilliant and heart warming things in my time, but
this really did get to me.'

This book will appeal to aviation engineers, air traffic
controllers and all pilots who have taken a U.K. commercial pilots
license. It explains how the U.K. Civil Aviation Flying Unit (CAFU)
was formed during WWII and the work for which it was intended. How
Flight Inspection methods were evolved to meet increasing
challenges of improving navigational and landing aids and to ensure
suitable flying standards were set for the issue of newly created
licence requirements. It details the aircraft provided, their role;
the seemingly ever changing Ministries from MCA to the CAA . It
plots the beginning and the end of CAFU, asking how and why this
occurred; tracks the changes of Ministries, policies, airfields,
aircraft, inadequate housing, staff levels and pay, of aircrew and
engineers who gave themselves to the safety of aviation, ensuring
that to-days commercial aircraft are able to land in zero
visibility conditions safely. It is a post-war history of the
United Kingdoms effort, to be at the forefront of international
aviation safety that is enjoyed by all who fly today. Whether you
are a passenger or pilot, CAFU was a small part of this process and
one to be proud of.
Author Daniel E. Williams, an industry professional with more 30
years of experience in chassis control systems from concept to
launch, brings this experience and his unique approach to readers
of Generalized Vehicle Dynamics. This book makes use of
nomenclature and conventions not used in other texts. This
combination allows the derivation of complex vehicles that roll
with multiple axles, any of which can be steered, to be directly
predicted by manipulation of a generalized model. Similarly the
ride characteristics of such a generalized vehicle are derived.
This means the vehicle dynamic behavior of these vehicles can be
directly written from the results derived in this work, and there
is no need to start from Newton's Second Law to create such
insight. Using new and non-standard conventions allows wider
applicability to complex vehicles, including autonomous vehicles.
Generalized Vehicle Dynamics is divided into two main sections-ride
and handling-with roll considered in both. Each section concludes
with a case study that applies the concepts presented in the
preceding chapters to actual vehicles. Chapters include Simple
Suspension as a Linear Dynamic System, The Quarter-Car Model, The
Pitch Plane Model, The Roll Plane Mode, Active Suspension to
Optimize Ride, Handling Basics, Reference Frames, New Conventions,
Two-Axle Yaw Plane Model, Rear Axle Steering and Lanekeeping,
Two-Axle Vehicles that Roll, Three-Axle Vehicle Dynamics,
Generalized Multi-Axle Vehicle Dynamics and Automated Vehicle
Architecture from Vehicle Dynamics. "A fresh and more inclusive
book that lays out much new material in vehicle dynamics." - L.
