Bücher der Reihe Lecture Notes in Mobility

This book is the ninth volume of a sub-series on Road Vehicle Automation, published as part of the Lecture Notes in Mobility. It gathers contributions to the Automated Road Transportation Symposium (ARTS), held on July 12-15, 2021, as a fully virtual event, and as a continuation of TRB's annual summer symposia on automated vehicle systems. Written by researchers, engineers and analysts from around the globe, this book offers a multidisciplinary perspectives on the opportunities and challenges associated with automating road transportation. It highlights innovative strategies, including public policies, infrastructure planning and automated technologies, which are expected to foster sustainable and automated mobility in the near future, thus addressing industry, government and research communities alike. 

This book is closely related to the energy conservation problem of rail transport systems, focusing on reducing the energy consumption of train operation. The system process of train operation is analyzed and the relationship between train operation and energy consumption is introduced. The fundamental theories, modelling and application of technologies for energy-efficient train driving are presented, discussing timely topics such as energy-efficient train control and timetabling, integrated timetabling and regenerative braking, and maximizing regenerated energy usage with energy storage systems. In addition, the modelling and application of a traction power simulation platform is introduced, to calculate the detailed energy flow over a railway network. The book is enriched with a set of practical examples to illustrate the performance of the proposed methods in improving energy efficiency of both urban and long-distance trains. Overall, the book provides a timely guide to professionals in the railway industry, and to researchers and graduate students in transport, electrical and control engineering.

This book is the tenth volume of a sub-series on Road Vehicle Automation, published as part of the Lecture Notes in Mobility. It gathers contributions to the Automated Road Transportation Symposium (ARTS 2022), held on July 18-21, 2022, in Garden Grove, USA, CA. Written by researchers, engineers and analysts from around the globe, this book offers a multidisciplinary perspectives on the opportunities and challenges associated with automating road transportation. It highlights innovative strategies, including public policies, infrastructure planning and automated technologies, which are expected to foster sustainable and automated mobility in the near future, thus addressing industry, government and research communities alike.

Dieses Buch berichtet über einen Betriebsmanagementansatz zur Verbesserung von Bike-Sharing-Systemen durch den Ausgleich von Nachfrageschwankungen. Ziel ist es, die Fahrräder innerhalb des Systems umzuverteilen und so ein "aktives" Gleichgewicht herzustellen. Das Buch beschreibt ein mathematisches Modell sowie datengesteuerte und simulationsbasierte Ansätze. Außerdem wird gezeigt, wie diese Elemente in einem System zur Entscheidungsunterstützung für Dienstleistungsanbieter kombiniert werden können. Abschließend wird die entwickelte Methode anhand von realen Daten evaluiert und gezeigt, dass sie erfolgreich Nachfrageänderungen vorhersehen kann und somit eine effiziente Planung von Transportfahrzeugen für die manuelle Verlagerung von Fahrrädern zwischen Stationen unterstützt.
