Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) is a much-talked about term in the transportation industry and in transport policy. The goal of MaaS is a shift away from personally-owned modes of transportation and towards mobility solutions that are consumed as a service. Such solutions are typically enabled by digital technologies and platforms. MaaS systems might combine transportation services from public and private transportation providers, like train and carsharing services, through a unified portal to create and manage journeys, which users can pay for with a single account. MaaS offers travellers...

Intelligent transport systems (ITS) use ICT to deliver transport system improvements as an alternative to expanding physical infrastructure, thereby saving on investments and reducing environmental impact. ITS applications contribute to cleaner and safer transport, enhance economic growth, and hold the promise for sustainable mobility solutions for a future flourishing society.

This book provides an overview of ICT-based intelligent road transport systems with an emphasis on evaluation methods and recent evaluation results of ITS development and deployment. The first edition has been...

Traffic fatalities decrease in most high-income countries, though it is still a long journey to reach the Vision Zero target. The trend is quite the opposite in low- and middle-income countries, where road casualty numbers stagnate at best. In both contexts, however, access to meaningful and reliable data is crucial for developing efficient traffic safety policies and, ultimately, saving lives on streets and roads.

There can be significant limitations with available accident data, meaning finding alternative sources of relevant information is increasingly important. Besides the...

Urban Traffic Analysis and Control: The key challenges in the era of ITS explores urban traffic control strategies. It provides a comprehensive overview of traffic management methods, focusing on both static and dynamic applications. The book addresses issues related to transportation planning, or simpler cases where real-time adaptive control is not necessary, as well as traffic control applications based on real-time monitoring and dynamic models or data-driven methods for flow prediction.

Notably, this is the first book to address both fixed and adaptive signal-setting...
