The Future of Road Transportation

The Future of Road Transportation presents rapidly growing research towards electrified and automated vehicles. It explains the workings and drawbacks of a conventional vehicle’s powertrain, braking, and steering systems before exploring ADAS equipment and driverless car technologies. The Future of Road Transportation presents rapidly growing research towards electrified and automated vehicles. It explains the workings and drawbacks of a conventional vehicle’s powertrain, braking, and steering systems before exploring ADAS equipment and driverless car technologies. Emphasizing the necessary changes in conventional transport systems towards sustainable and smart mobility, this book discusses advanced future mobility technologies and the challenges and considerations for developing sustainable vehicle designs. It overviews the construction details and the research-level contents of the power train, battery, charging infrastructure, and other control systems of the electrical vehicles. The book is intended for automotive and electrical engineers and researchers working on electric vehicle technology, autonomous and automated vehicles, automotive sustainability. It will also be useful for mechanical and electrical engineering students taking courses in Automotive/Vehicle Engineering and Automotive Systems and Design.
