Overview
This is the first book to provide, in a single source, the detailed interdisciplinary information needed to understand, design and implement advanced Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS, formerly IVHS). It presents state-of-the-art principles and practices that you can apply to a wide range of vehicle location and navigation systems — placing special emphasis on the vehicle side of the system — and synthesizes information scattered among many different engineering fields.Based on several years of hands-on research, the book is divided into two parts: Basic Modules, or building blocks, and Systems, or integrated modules. Fundamental principles as well as newly developed technologies, along with many problem-solving examples, help you save time and improve performance.
Turn to this well-organized, practical book for answers to such real-life questions as:
• Why doesn't the output of your GPS receiver match your digital map?
• When shouldn't your vehicle be redirected to a less congested road?
• Why doesn't your navigation system work as expected after going through the automatic car wash?
The newly developed technologies you find here include a fuzzy-logic-based algorithm, the field-emitter display (FED), a recently invented software technology for 3-D map display, and a seldom discussed integrated Dispatch Enhanced Network (iDEN).
Accessible even to non-engineering specialists, this informative book contains useful summary tables and current references, including Internet WWW addresses for ITS-related pages.

Booknews
Provides a detailed description of principles and practices of modern vehicle location and navigation systems for professionals and students from different backgrounds, using a limited amount of mathematics. Part I contains chapters on basic modules such as the positioning and the route-planning modules, and Part II covers systems. Includes chapter questions, examples, summary tables, and background appendices. Can be used as a reference for engineers, managers, and other professionals, and as a text for undergraduates and beginning graduate students in intelligent transportation systems and related disciplines.
