This book explores one of the most prevailing problems of the contemporary urban world, i.e. traffic congestion and its economic, environmental, and health implications.

Generally viewed as an urban menace, the problem of traffic congestion has huge economic implications, which are often overlooked by urban planners. This book examines and quantifies the costs and adverse consequences and of traffic congestion, which include emissions, loss of productive hours, fuel wastage, and the adverse effects on the health of commuters, among others. It provides a comprehensive and scientific understanding of the underlying problems of traffic gridlocks by analyzing empirical evidence from Bengaluru, a city in South India. It also offers solutions and highlights innovative measures that draw from both economic and engineering perspectives to counter and reduce the tangible and intangible costs of traffic conjestion.

This book will be of interest to both academic and non-academic readers of economics, environmental economics and econometrics, transport economics, urban planning, transport geography, as well as planners and policy makers.

Smart cities with various technological innovations have played an important role and influenced society as well. Due to voluminous data transactions within smart cities, security and privacy concerns need to be dealt with. Though taking care of safety and privacy is challenging, it is essential for a smart city to understand the bio-inspired computing paradigms. This book discusses the utilization of bio-inspired computing procedures for effective computational devices.

This book is primarily aimed at graduates, researchers, IT and industry professionals
