This is an illustrated celebration of the pioneering development of
Formula E - the FIA-approved class of auto racing dedicated to
electric-powered cars.The Founding Partners of Formula E decided
that the event would be a platform to boost sustainable
innovations, a gateway to the cities of tomorrow and alternative
transport. After the very first Formula E season in 2014-2015, this
dream is already becoming a reality - and the best is yet to come.
Without fear or favour, Formula E is now moving forward with a
critical and (more importantly) enthusiastic approach to
encouraging and promoting development of the format. You will find
in this book examples of innovations developed at Formula E, or for
which Formula E is a fast-track to growth. The set-up of the race
is in itself an exceptional event. Here we focus on what is
happening behind the scenes. As you will see, Formula E is (much)
more than a race. Year after year, we will update this book with
new innovations and new exciting partnerships.
Electromagnetic compatibility and regulatory compliance issues are
subjects of great importance in electronics engineering. Avoiding
problems regarding an electronic system's operation, while always
important, is especially critical in space missions and satellite
structures. Many problems can be traced to EM field disturbances as
interference from unintended sources and other electromagnetic
phenomena. As a result, stringent requirements are to be met in
terms of electromagnetic emissions levels. The inclusion of this
electromagnetic environment in the design of a multimillion mission
can lead to a system that is able to withstand whatever challenge
the environment throws at it. Failure to do so may lead to
important data corruption or loss, destruction of expensive
instruments, waste of resources, and even a total mission failure.
Research in this area focuses on the studying of the applications
of electromagnetic compatibility and electromagnetic interference
in the space industry. Recent Trends on Electromagnetic
Environmental Effects for Aeronautics and Space Applications will
provide relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical
research findings in electromagnetic compatibility and
electromagnetic interference (EMC/EMI) for the aerospace industry.
This book examines all the necessary information for all matters
that can possibly affect the system design of a spacecraft and can
be a useful reference to space system engineers and more. While
highlighting topics such as artificial intelligence,
electromagnetic testing, environmental shielding, and EMC modelling
techniques, this book is ideal for professionals, spacecraft
designers, science and data processing managers, electrical and
mechanical engineers, EMC testing engineers, and researchers
working in the aerospace industry along with practitioners,
researchers, academicians, and students looking for necessary
information for all the matters that can possibly affect the system
design of a spacecraft.
Fully illustrated in a striking landscape format, Ships contains
300 mercantile and military vessels arranged in chronological
order, from ancient times to the present day. Every type of vessel
from every part of the world is featured, from Phoenician war
galleys from 1500BC, through the graceful trading clippers of the
nineteenth century, to the sophisticated and heavily armed
submarines of the nuclear era. In these information-packed pages
you will find out about ancient galleys, Viking longships, medieval
cogs, galleasses, galleons, men-of-war sailing ships, coastal
gunboats, iron-clad steam boats, dreadnoughts, aircraft carriers
and nuclear submarines. Many well-known ships are included, such as
Nelson's flagship HMS Victory, the ill-fated passenger liner
Titanic, the infamous German World War II battlecruiser Bismarck
and many, many more. Each ship is illustrated with a colourful
artwork, while lively text offers a concise service history of the
ship and a specification box provides comprehensive technical data,
including displacement, dimensions, machinery, armament, speed and
complement.

Long-term economic growth and increasing vehicle congestion is
creating a greater demand for efficient and safe transportation.
The high cost of maintaining and fixing pre-existing infrastructure
is leading the industry to realize that sustainable long-term
transportation planning is needed to keep pace with the growing
economy. Building a Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure for
Long-Term Economic Growth examines contemporary transportation
issues through the lens of various modes of transportation while
also focusing on the importance of sustainability, urban planning,
and funding. The book covers the topics of sustainability and
climate change, public management and planning, financing of
transportation infrastructure, and revenue and spending issues
facing modern transportation infrastructure. It is ideally designed
for engineers, planners, government officials, transportation
specialists, legislators, researchers, academicians, students, and
industry professionals seeking current research on sustainable
transport systems.
Advances in Urban Engineering and Management Science contains the
selected papers resulting from the 2022 3rd International
Conference on Urban Engineering and Management Science (ICUEMS
2022). Covering a wide range of topics, the Proceedings of ICUEMS
2022 presents the latest developments in: (i) Architecture and
Urban Planning (Architectural design and its theory, Urban planning
and design, Building technology science, Urban protection and
regeneration, Urban development strategy, Ecological construction
and intelligent control, Sustainable infrastructure); (ii)
Logistics and supply chain management (Warehousing and
distribution, Logistics outsourcing, Logistics automation,
Production and material flow, Supply chain management technology,
Supply chain risk management, Global service supply chain
management, Supply Chain Planning and Inventory Management,
Coordination and collaboration of supply chain networks, Governance
and regulatory aspects affecting supply chain management); (iii)
Urban traffic management (Smart grid management, Belt and Road
Development, Intelligent traffic analysis and planning management,
Big data and transportation management). The Proceedings of ICUEMS
2022 will be useful to professionals, academics, and Ph.D. students
interested in the above-mentioned fields. Emphasis was put on basic
methodologies, scientific development and engineering applications.
ICUEMS 2022 is to provide a platform for experts, scholars,
engineers and technical researchers engaged in the related fields
of urban engineering management to share scientific research
achievements and cutting-edge technologies, understand academic
development trends, broaden research ideas, strengthen academic
research and discussion, and promote the industrialization
cooperation of academic achievements. Experts, scholars, business
people and other relevant personnel from universities and research
institutions at home and abroad are cordially invited to attend and
exchange.
The aviation industry has undergone a significant change since the
21st century as technological developments accelerated its
development. Due to this, there is a need for modern research on
the current situation, future expectations, and possible change
scenarios in the aviation industry. Challenges and Opportunities
for Aviation Stakeholders in a Post-Pandemic World focuses on
contemporary studies addressing the effects of economic crises,
pandemics, digitalization, and war environments on the aviation
industry and draws attention to the aviation industry's current
situation and future expectations, focusing on its stakeholders and
various industry trends. Covering key topics such as technology,
sustainability, digitalization, and aviation management, this
reference work is ideal for industry professionals, policymakers,
researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors,

Because trainees need to learn about the underlying technologies to
use automation safely and efficiently, the development of automated
aviation systems training is a growing challenge. Task analysis has
been singled out as the basis of the training, but it can be more
time-consuming than traditional development techniques. Cases on
Modern Computer Systems in Aviation is an essential reference
source that covers new information technology use in aviation
systems to streamline the cybersecurity, decision-making, planning,
and design processes within the aviation industry. Featuring
coverage on a broad range of topics such as computer systems in
