sequence so that even a novice can do the work. '
Road accidents caused by impaired and distracted driving as well as
traffic congestion are on the rise, with the numbers increasing
dramatically every day. Intelligent transportation systems (ITS)
aim to improve the efficiency and safety of traveling by
consolidating vehicle operations, managing vehicle traffic, and
notifying drivers with alerts and safety messages in real time.
Vehicular Cloud Computing for Traffic Management and Systems
provides innovative research on the rapidly advancing applications
of vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication.
It also covers the need to fully utilize vehicular ad-hoc network
(VANET) resources to provide updated and dynamic information about
the conditions of road traffic so that the number of road accidents
can be minimized. Featuring research on topics such as identity
management, computational architecture, and resource management,
this book is ideally designed for urban planners, researchers,
policy makers, graduate-level students, transportation engineers,
and technology developers seeking current research on vehicle
computational design, architecture, security, and privacy.

A facsimile edition of Bradshaw's fascinating guide to Europe's
rail network. Bradshaw's descriptive railway handbook of Europe was
originally published in 1913 and was the inspiration behind Michael
Portillo's BBC television series 'Great Continental Railway
Journeys'. It is divided into three sections: timetables for
services covering the continent; short guides to the best places to
see and to stay in each city; and a wealth of advertisements and
ephemeral materials concerning hotels, restaurants and services
that might be required by the early twentieth century rail
traveller. This beautifully illustrated facsimile edition offers a
fascinating glimpse of Europe and of a transport network that was
shortly devastated by the greatest war the world had ever seen.
