Disruptive Emerging Transportation Technologies provides forward-looking overview of the relevant 4IR technologies and their potential impacts on the future disruptive emerging transportation. It a valuable reference for relevant educators to re-imagine their roles, redesign their curricula, and adopt very different pedagogical strategies to address this inevitability, particularly when they are introducing emerging technologies into transportation planning and development, infrastructure design, and traffic management.

Topics include

• 4IR technologies impacting the future of transportation such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, edge computing, fog computing, cloud computing, fifth generation innovative communications technology, virtual reality, and the Internet of Things (IoT);
• Surface transportation automation including connected vehicle (CV) and autonomous vehicle (AV) technologies, as well as other automation-based vehicles;
• Testing methods and technologies for autonomous vehicles;
• Emerging mobility services such as automated delivery and logistics, mobility as a service (MaaS), and mobility on demand (MOD);
• Shared sustainable mobility such as shared bicycle services, shared vehicle services, and first mile/last mile solutions;
• Cooperative and automated traffic control including self-organized intelligent adaptive control, eco-control and eco-ramp metering, and integrated ramp and corridor control; and
• Major unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technologies and their possible impacts on the future of transportation.

This book will interest educators, researchers, and students interested in disruptive emerging transportation technologies. Professionals of public and private sectors including engineers, managers, planners, and policymakers, as well as specialists of all areas whose work will be affected by the smart transportation trends, will also find this to be an invaluable resource.
