One of the main building blocks and major challenges for 5G cellular systems is the design of flexible network architectures which can be realized by the software defined networking paradigm. ...Existing commercial cellular systems rely on closed and inflexible hardware-based architectures both at the radio frontend and in the core network. These problems significantly delay the adoption and deployment of new standards, impose significant challenges in implementing and innovation of new techniques to maximize the network capacity and accordingly the coverage, and prevent provisioning of truly- differentiated services which are able to adapt to growing and uneven and highly variable traffic patterns. In this paper, a new software-defined architecture, called SoftAir, for next generation (5G) wireless systems, is introduced. Specifically, the novel ideas of network function cloudification and network virtualization are exploited to provide a scalable, flexible and resilient network architecture. Moreover, the essential enabling technologies to support and manage the proposed architecture are discussed in details, including fine-grained base station decomposition, seamless incorporation of Openflow, mobility- aware control traffic balancing, resource-efficient network virtualization, and distributed and collaborative traffic classification. Furthermore, the major benefits of SoftAir architecture with its enabling technologies are showcased by introducing software- defined traffic engineering solutions. The challenging issues for realizing SoftAir are also discussed in details.

This book gathers contributions to the EU-funded Horizon 2020 project INDIMO (Inclusive Digital Mobility Solutions), its sister projects DIGNITY (Digital Transport in and for Society) and TRIPS ...(Transport Innovation for Persons with Disabilities Needs Satisfaction), which have been focusing on making transport systems inclusive and accessible for all. Digitalization has enabled the emergence and proliferation of novel, ‘disruptive’ transport and delivery services. These services are often exclusively only available through digital channels such as a smartphone app or website. Yet a substantial segment of the population is at risk of being excluded from these services for a variety of reasons. Therefore, it is strongly necessary to integrate inclusivity and accessibility into the design and operation of mobility services. This book aims at discussing cases of and reasons for digital exclusion in transport. It also investigates the role of participatory and user-centric planning and design methods in making digital mobility more inclusive and accessible. Further, it discusses tools and technologies that could help policy makers to develop digital mobility as a more inclusive and accessible service. This is an open access book.
This open access book provides a detailed exploration of energy management in seaport integrated energy systems, highlighting their potential to replace conventional fuel-based energy usage and ...promote sustainable development of large ports. In order to achieve carbon neutrality, energy management technologies are crucial for the sustainable development of port systems that couple energies, logistics, and maritime transportation. Research on seaport integrated energy systems has attracted scholars and scientists from various disciplines, such as port electrification, logistics, microgrids, renewable energies, energy storages, and port automation. Taking a holistic approach, this book establishes a fundamental framework for the topic and discusses the electrification process, coupling mechanisms and modeling, optimal planning, low-carbon and economic operation, as well as applications of integrated energy systems in seaports. This book is intended for researchers, graduate students, and other readers interested in green seaport energy management and low-carbon operation technologies under the coupling between logistics and multi-energy systems.
Dieses Open-Access-Handbuch versteht sich als praktisches Hilfsmittel für den gezielten Einsatz eines automatisierten ÖPNV auf dem Weg zur Mobilitätswende. Es richtet sich in erster Linie an ...Entscheidungsträger, Verwaltungen kleinerer und größerer Kommunen sowie an Verkehrsbetriebe. Das Handbuch vermittelt der Leserin und dem Leser einen umfassenden Überblick über verschiedene Entwicklungslinien des automatisierten Fahrens sowie über die damit verbundenen Chancen und Risiken für Mobilität und Gesellschaft. Die Autorinnen und Autoren verdeutlichen sehr anschaulich, dass die Chancen des automatisierten Fahrens vor allem in der Ergänzung oder Erweiterung des ÖPNV liegen. Davon ausgehend adressiert das Buch sehr praxisnah und umsetzungsorientiert alle wesentlichen Fragestellungen, die vor dem Start eines Pilotprojekts zur Einführung eines automatisierten ÖPNV bedacht werden sollten. Der Fokus liegt auf den oft unberücksichtigten ländlichen Räumen bzw. jenen Räumen größerer Städte und Regionen, die heute von den Verkehrsbetrieben und -verbünden nicht oder nur sehr unzureichend versorgt werden. Den Herausgebern und der Herausgeberin ist das Anliegen, die Mobilitätswende so gut und rasch als möglich zu schaffen, sowie das Wissen um die herausragende Rolle des ÖPNV als kollektives Verkehrsmittel gemein. Die Autorinnen und Autoren stammen aus der Wissenschaft und aus der täglichen Planungs- und Beratungspraxis. Es ist ihnen in hervorragender Weise gelungen, eine sowohl systemische wie auch sehr lösungsorientierte Sicht auf die oft komplexe Aufgabe der Mobilitätswende zu eröffnen und die Rolle zu beschreiben, die ein automatisierter ÖPNV bei der Mobilitätswende spielen könnte.

In Curbing Traffic: The Human Case for Fewer Cars in Our Lives, mobility experts Melissa and Chris Bruntlett chronicle their experience living in the Netherlands and the benefits that result from ...treating cars as visitors rather than owners of the road. They weave their personal story with research and interviews with experts and Delft locals to help readers share the experience of living in a city designed for people. Their insights will help decision makers and advocates to better understand and communicate the human impacts of low-car cities: lower anxiety and stress, increased independence, social autonomy, inclusion, and improved mental and physical wellbeing. Curbing Traffic provides relatable, emotional, and personal reasons why it matters and inspiration for exporting the low-car city.
This open access book presents the mathematical methods for huge data and network analysis. The automotive industry has made steady progress in technological innovations under the names of Connected ...Autonomous-Shared-Electric (CASE) and Mobility as a Service (MaaS). Needless to say, mathematics and informatics are important to support such innovations. As the concept of cars and movement itself is diversifying, they are indispensable for grasping the essence of the future mobility society and building the foundation for the next generation. Based on this idea, Research unit named "Advanced Mathematical Science for Mobility Society" was established at Kyoto University as a base for envisioning a future mobility society in collaboration with researchers led by Toyota Motor Corporation and Kyoto University. This book contains three main contents. 1. Mathematical models of flow 2. Mathematical methodsfor huge data and network analysis 3. Algorithm for mobility society The first one discusses mathematical models of pedestrian and traffic flow, as they are important for preventing accidents and achieving efficient transportation. The authors mainly focus on global dynamics caused by the interaction of particles. The authors discuss many-body particle systems in terms of geometry and box-ball systems. The second one consists of four chapters and deals with mathematical technologies for handling huge data related to mobility from the viewpoints of machine learning, numerical analysis, and statistical physics, which also includes blockchain techniques. Finally, the authors discuss algorithmic issues on mobility society. By making use of car-sharing service as an example of mobility systems, the authors consider how to construct and analyze algorithms for mobility system from viewpoints of control, optimization, and AI.
