This book presents cutting-edge work onthe most challenging research issues concerning intelligent transportationsystems (ITS), introducing selected, highly relevant advanced research onscheduling and real-time communication for vehicular networks, as well as faulttolerance, test beds and simulations for ITS. The authors define newarchitectures that support cooperative sensing in ITS and offer guidance forthe development of a reference end-to-end implementation. The presented resultsallow advanced traffic and travel management strategies to be formulated on thebasis of reliable and real-time input data. The effectiveness of these newstrategies, together with the proposed systems, is assessed in field trials andvia simulations.

The chapters in this book detail newresearch findings, algorithms, protocols, and the development of animplementation platform for ITS that merges and integrates heterogeneous datasources into a common system. In addition, they provide a set of advanced toolsfor the control, monitoring, simulation, and prediction of traffic that resultin safer, more sustainable, and less congested roads. 

Work undertaken within the framework of theFP7 project ICSI (Intelligent Cooperative Sensing for Improved trafficefficiency) is also included in the research activities addressed.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Future Intelligent Vehicular Technologies, Future 5V 2016, held in Porto, Portugal, in September 2016. Future 5V presents vehicular networks and communications and also hosted the “Internet of Things (IoT) meets Big Data and Cloud Computing Workshop”. The 21 revised full papers presented were reviewed and selected from 38 submissions. The papers cover all aspects of intelligent vehicular communications including security and applications.

This book offers a comprehensive approach to the wide range of movement disorders, an important specialty in the field of neurology, guiding readers from the phenomenology to diagnosis and management. Reflecting the latest developments in the field, it offers a unique summary of this dynamic area by pursuing a uniform approach to movement disorders curricula.
