Review
ITS is an international program aimed at using
advanced technology for improving the efficiency, safety, and environmental
impact of land transportation. It incorporates a wide variety of
advanced technology systems and products. This book focusses on
a broad array of positioning systems and the roles they play in
meeting the goals of ITS. It addresses ITS system concepts and components,
mapping issues, GPS and GPS enhancements, non-GPS systems, and the
roles and applications (including case studies) of positioning systems
in ITS. This book is ideal for both engineers involved in ITS
who need to learn about positioning systems, and positioning systems
engineers who need to learn about ITS.

Introduction
to Transportation Systems
by Joseph Sussman
Hardcover
508 pages (May 2000)
Artech House; ISBN:
1580531415 ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.50 x 10.36 x 7.32
Review
For a complete, up-to-date survey of modern
transportation systems, look no further than this new book written
by the architect of the U.S. ITS program. It provides the 30-point
framework underlying most major transport systems, closely examines
current and emergent activity to improve both freight and passenger
transportation, and helps you analyse proposed systems.

ITS
Handbook 2000: recommendations from the World Road Association (PIARC)
by Kan Chen, John Miles (editors)
Hardcover
344 pages (October 1999)
Artech House; ISBN:
1580531032 ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.33 x 9.35 x 6.31
Review
Combining a comprehensive definition of ITS
and a full review of experimental implementation of ITS in various
countries around the world, this new book is an excellent introduction
to ITS concepts and implementation for transportation managers,
etc. Brings up-to-date information and practical data via 15 case
studies and 23 country profiles in order to increase international
understanding, ideas and solutions to common transportation problems
of congestion, traffic accidents, planning for and funding of infrastructure
improvements and changes, and the environmental impact of surface
transport.

Vehicle
Location and Navigation Systems
by Yilin Zhao
Hardcover
345 pages (April 1997)
Artech House; ISBN:
0890068615 ; Dimensions (in inches): 0.93 x 9.26 x 6.25
Review
Provides a detailed description of principles
and practices of modern vehicle location and navigation systems
for professionals and students from different backgrounds, using
a limited amount of mathematics. Part I contains chapters on basic
modules such as the positioning and the route-planning modules,
and Part II covers systems. Includes chapter questions, examples,
summary tables, and background appendices. Can be used as a reference
for engineers, managers, and other professionals, and as a text
for undergraduates and beginning graduate students in intelligent
transportation systems and related disciplines.

Handbook
of Land-Mobile Radio System Coverage
by Garry C. Hess
Hardcover
346 pages (November 1997)
Artech House; ISBN:
089006945X ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.06 x 9.44 x 6.36
Review
Going beyond mere descriptions of system aspects such as propagation,
modulation, coding, and frequency re-use, this book addresses how
to use this information to predict, verify, and measure radio system
coverage accurately.
It is ideal for those responsible for
specifying the site layouts of conventional or cellular land-mobile
radio systems. The author analyzes current issues in the industry
and suggests future trends in systems design, providing over 50
examples of real-world radio system coverage problems. Clearly written
and concise, the book shows how to handle both Rayleigh fading and
lognormal shadowing in coverage prediction, and how to estimate
signal strengths and bit-error probability. It also shows engineers
how to implement acceptance procedures that help determine whether
a test plan will be cost efficient. The package includes a bound-in
3.5" disk containing FORTRAN source code that can be used to solve
challenging formulas and propagation models.

Intelligent
Transportation Systems Architectures
by Bob McQueen, Judy McQueen
Hardcover
504 pages (March 1999)
Artech House; ISBN:
089006525X ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.29 x 9.36 x 6.33
Review
Written for both technical and non-technical
professionals involved in intelligent transportation system (ITS)
development, tins clear, systematic guide describes a practical
approach to planning, developing, and implementing successful ITS
architectures in regional settings. Based on the principles and
methods they used to help create the recently developed US National
ITS Architecture, the authors provide you with a solid understanding
of each critical step involved in the regional ITS deployment process.
You learn the key ingredients that make up an effective ITS mission
statement, how to choose the best ITS technologies for a specific
application, the components involved in developing an appropriate
logical and physical architecture, and much more.
The book is valuable reading for transportation
planners, system engineers, and consultants who want to understand
the various disciplines associated with ITS, and who need to formulate
practical solutions to challenging ITS problems. It also provides
investors, government officials, and other interest groups with
the information they need to prepare and deliver practical input
to ITS development projects.
