As the importance and value of information increases, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is rapidly evolving and taking centre stage in everyday life in the 21st century. This is particularly evident in the transport sector, where ICT is greatly influencing our mobility and travel choices as well as travel experience. In this context, ICT for Transport examines the opportunities, threats, underlying principles and practical issues faced when deploying ICT for transport applications, especially in the quest to achieve sustainable transport.Focusing on infrastructure, people and processes, the contributors to this book use diverse case studies from around the world to illustrate the challenges faced by academics, practitioners and policy makers alike. The contents and bibliography provide up-to-date knowledge and expertise drawn from state of the art research in Europe, America, Asia and Africa.ICT for Transport is a valuable source of information for those aiming to be at the forefront of the evolving field of ICT for transport. This analysis of the various threats and opportunities will assist them in making more informed decisions about the future use of ICT for transport and for the benefit of society.Contributors include: M.

The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are increasingly a core objective for policy makers, practitioners and citizens. Transport continues to be a core focus of these policy objectives, with Automated and Connected Transport (ACT) featuring as a potential solution to relevant challenges. Yet, there is still a lot to be achieved aside technological advancements. Sustainable Automated and Connected Transport highlights existing gaps and offers evidence-based recommendations for practitioners and policy makers to aid in meeting sustainability goals.Contributions link documented challenges of Autonomous and Connected Transport with sustainability. Based not only on activities of the international WISE-ACT network, but also on input by external experts, findings of contemporary and ongoing research are summarised to offer evidence-based sustainability recommendations. Sustainable Automated and Connected Transport addresses all three sustainability pillars, namely social, environmental and economic, within a single volume.Overall, Sustainable Automated and Connected Transport is a valuable source of ACT information for academics, practitioners and policy makers. Such a unified overview is beneficial to developing holistic research methods and global policies for making progress towards the SDGs.The Transport and Sustainability series addresses the important nexus between transport and sustainability, containing volumes dealing with a wide range of issues relating to transport, its impact in economic, social and environmental spheres and its interaction with other policy sectors.
