Overview

Offers the detailed interdisciplinary information needed to understand, design and implement advanced intelligent transportation systems. The text presents principles and practices that can be applied to a wide range of vehicle location and navigation systems - placing special emphasis on the vehicle side of the system - and synthesizes information scattered among different engineering fields. The technologies covered include fuzzy-logic-based algorithms, the field-emitter display (FED), and a software technology for 3-D map displays.
