Intelligent Transport Systems : 802.11-based Roadside-to-Vehicle Communications
Focusing on the nuts and bolts of wireless network access for computers on board vehicles, this volume shows how in-car computerization now does much more than merely act as a glorified map-reader.Wireless communication is transforming road travel in ways previously undreamt of, allowing vehicles to “talk” to a wider network and monitor road conditions, potential delays and traffic congestion, all automatically.Toll payments can be made without opening the driver’s window on a cold day, while vehicles might themselves take active steps to avoid collisions. It is the connection between on-board computers and wireless access points, ubiquitous in most cities now, that is a key area of research.Moving vehicles transfer their communications to new points as they progress, and this causes delays, known as “handover latency”.In this book, new stochastic models are developed to map the disruption when connecting to 802.11 WLAN points.It details the application of stochastic tools to analyzing communication networks, as well as previous literature on handover latency and relevant mathematical modeling.Finally, it presents a scheme for monitoring traffic congestion using WLAN connectivity.This volume will be a useful addition to the libraries both of wireless communication students and those studying probability theory.

Transport Justice : Designing fair transportation systems
Transport Justice develops a new paradigm for transportation planning based on principles of justice.Author Karel Martens starts from the observation that for the last fifty years the focus of transportation planning and policy has been on the performance of the transport system and ways to improve it, without much attention being paid to the persons actually using – or failing to use – that transport system. There are far-reaching consequences of this approach, with some enjoying the fruits of the improvements in the transport system, while others have experienced a substantial deterioration in their situation.The growing body of academic evidence on the resulting disparities in mobility and accessibility, have been paralleled by increasingly vocal calls for policy changes to address the inequities that have developed over time.Drawing on philosophies of social justice, Transport Justice argues that governments have the fundamental duty of providing virtually every person with adequate transportation and thus of mitigating the social disparities that have been created over the past decades.Critical reading for transport planners and students of transportation planning, this book develops a new approach to transportation planning that takes people as its starting point, and justice as its end.

What are vehicle braking systems?
Vehicle braking systems are a crucial component of a vehicle's safety features, designed to slow down or stop the vehicle when necessary. They typically consist of brake pads, rotors, calipers, and a hydraulic system that transmits the force from the brake pedal to the wheels. When the driver applies the brakes, the brake pads are pressed against the rotors, creating friction and slowing down the vehicle. Modern vehicles may also have advanced braking systems such as anti-lock brakes (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC) to improve safety and control.

What is the difference between a motor vehicle and an automobile?
The term "motor vehicle" is a broad category that includes any self-propelled vehicle, such as cars, trucks, motorcycles, and buses. On the other hand, an "automobile" specifically refers to a four-wheeled passenger vehicle designed for personal transportation. In other words, all automobiles are motor vehicles, but not all motor vehicles are automobiles. The term "automobile" is often used interchangeably with "car" in everyday language.

Can cable car systems have curves?
Yes, cable car systems can have curves. The track of a cable car system can be designed with curves to navigate around obstacles, follow the natural terrain, or fit into urban environments. The design of the cable car system, including the use of pulleys and guide wheels, allows the cars to smoothly navigate through curves without compromising safety or efficiency. In fact, some cable car systems are specifically designed to incorporate curves as part of their route to provide passengers with scenic views and unique experiences.

Are stereo systems or 5.1 systems better?
It ultimately depends on the individual's preferences and needs. Stereo systems are great for simple, two-channel audio playback and can provide high-quality sound for music and movies. On the other hand, 5.1 systems offer a more immersive experience with surround sound, making them ideal for home theater setups and gaming. If you prioritize a more immersive and spatial audio experience, a 5.1 system may be better for you. However, if you value simplicity and high-quality audio, a stereo system may be the better choice.

Systems Design : Building Systems that Drive Ideal Behavior
The ground-breaking Shingo Model of 2008 introduced principles, systems, tools, and results.At that time, however, the systems element of the model did not receive the in-depth attention that other parts of the model did.As a result, organizations developed their own concept of systems.Some organizations have identified hundreds of systems and tools.In fact, the distinction between a system and a tool was not clearly defined until recently with the introduction of the Shingo SYSTEMS DESIGN workshop and the information discussed in this book. With the development of the workshop, the Shingo Institute is now teaching the three essential systems—work, improvement, and management—as well as the five required communication tools that are necessary to improve an organization.You’ll find that when these systems are formalized, they work together to help create organizational excellence. With Systems Design: Building Systems that Drive Ideal Behavior you’ll learn how to formalize the process of creating these three systems.In addition, a new tool, the Shingo system design map, is introduced.This book also details how you can improve the connections you’ve already made between the tools, systems, results, and principles of the Shingo Model.
