Green and Intelligent Technologies for Sustainable and Smart
Asphalt Pavements contains 124 papers from 14 different countries
which were presented at the 5th International Symposium on
Frontiers of Road and Airport Engineering (IFRAE 2021, Delft, the
Netherlands, 12-14 July 2021). The contributions focus on research
in the areas of "Circular, Sustainable and Smart Airport and
Highway Pavement" and collects the state-of-the-art and
state-of-practice areas of long-life and circular materials for
sustainable, cost-effective smart airport and highway pavement
design and construction. The main areas covered by the book
include: * Green and sustainable pavement materials * Recycling
technology * Warm & cold mix asphalt materials * Functional
pavement design * Self-healing pavement materials * Eco-efficiency
pavement materials * Pavement preservation, maintenance and
rehabilitation * Smart pavement materials and structures * Safety
technology for smart roads * Pavement monitoring and big data
analysis * Role of transportation engineering in future pavements
Green and Intelligent Technologies for Sustainable and Smart
Asphalt Pavements aims at researchers, practitioners, and
administrators interested in new materials and innovative
technologies for achieving sustainable and renewable pavement
materials and design methods, and for those involved or working in
the broader field of pavement engineering.
China has been one of the first countries to develop its own
aesthetic for dynamic images and to create animation films with
distinctive characteristics. In recent years, however, and subject
to the influence of Western and Japanese animation, the Chinese
animation industry has experienced several new stages of
development, prompting the question as to where animation in China
is heading in the future. This book describes the history, present
and future of China's animation industry. The author divides the
business's 95-year history into six periods and analyses each of
these from an historical, aesthetic, and artistic perspective. In
addition, the book focuses on representative works; themes;
directions; artistic styles; techniques; industrial development;
government support policies; business models; the nurturing of
education and talent; broadcasting systems and animation. Scholars
and students who are interested in the history of Chinese animation
will benefit from this book and it will appeal additionally to
readers interested in Chinese film studies.

Structural Behavior of Asphalt Pavements provides engineers and
researchers with a detailed guide to the structural behavioral
dynamics of asphalt pavement including: pavement temperature
distribution, mechanistic response of pavement structure under the
application of heavy vehicles, distress mechanism of pavement, and
pavement deterioration performance and dynamic equations. An
authoritative guide for understanding the key mechanisms for
creating longer lasting pavements, Structural Behavior of Asphalt
Pavements describes the intrinsic consistency between macroscopic
performance and microscopic response, structure and material, as
well as global and local performances, and demonstrates the process
of pavement analyses and designs, approaching science from
empirical analyses.
In real-world traffic, rational human drivers can make
socially-compatible decisions in complex and crowded scenarios by
efficiently negotiating with their surroundings using
non-linguistic communications such as gesturing, deictics, and
motion cues. Understanding the principles and rules of the dynamic
interaction among human drivers in complex traffic scenes allows 1)
generating diverse social driving behaviors that leverage beliefs
and expectations about others' actions or reactions; 2) predicting
the future states of a scene with moving objects, which is
essential to building probably safe intelligent vehicles with the
capabilities of behavior prediction and potential collision
detection; and 3) creating realistic driving simulators. However,
this task is not trivial since various social factors exist along
the driving interaction process, including social motivation,
social perception, and social control. Generally, human driving
behavior is compounded by human drivers' social interactions and
their physical interactions with the scene. No human drives a car
in a vacuum; she/he must negotiate with other road users to achieve
their goals in social traffic scenes. A rational human driver can
interact with other road users in a socially-compatible way through
implicit communications to complete their driving tasks smoothly in
interaction-intensive, safety-critical environments. This monograph
reviews the existing approaches and theories to help understand and
rethink the interactions among human drivers toward social
autonomous driving. Fundamental questions which are covered
include: 1) What is social interaction in road traffic scenes? 2)
How to measure and evaluate social interaction? 3) How to model and
reveal the process of social interaction? 4) How do human drivers
reach an implicit agreement and negotiate smoothly in social
interaction? This monograph reviews various approaches to modeling
and learning the social interactions between human drivers, ranging
from optimization theory, deep learning, and graphical models to
social force theory and behavioral and cognitive science. Also
highlighted are some new directions, critical challenges, and
opening questions for future research.
This collection contains 33 peer-reviewed papers presented at the
2015 International Symposium on Frontiers of Road and Airport
Engineering, held in Shanghai, China, October 26-28, 2015. These
papers address innovations in asphalt materials and evaluation
technologies applied to road and airport infrastructure. Topics
include: performance characteristics of asphalt pavement;
structural analysis and asphalt pavement design; and road traffic
safety analysis. Pavement engineers, transportation researchers,
and practitioners will find these papers valuable.
