Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2022 in the subject Psychology - Industrial and organizational psychology, grade: 1,0, , language: English, abstract: The interest in autonomous vehicles is growing in today's society. Current developments regarding a more sustainable transportation infrastructure continue to drive interest and thus research in the field of autonomous driving. Furthermore, sustainability questions are increasingly concerning humanity and the goal of 1.5° degrees seems almost impossible to achieve. How could technologies, such as autonomous driving, lead to a more sustainable environment? What risks and problems could arise for people if implemented, and are people even willing to use autonomous vehicles as an everyday means of transportation? These are the questions that this paper aims to shed light on over the next few pages.

Download or read book Sustainability Prospects for Autonomous Vehicles written by George T. Martin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-31 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Autonomous Vehicle (AV) has been strongly heralded as the most exciting innovation in automobility for decades. Autonomous Vehicles are no longer an innovation of the future (seen only in science fiction) but are now being road-tested for use. And yet while the technical and economic success and possibilities of the AV have been widely debated, there has been a notable lack of discussion around the social, behavioural, and environmental implications. This book is the first to address these issues and to deeply consider the environmental and social sustainability outlook for the AV and how it will impact on communities. Environmental and social sustainability are goals unlike those of technical development (a new tool) and economic development (a new investment). The goal of sustainability is development of societies that live well and equitably within their ecological limits. Is it reasonable and desirable that only technical and economic success comprise the swelling AV parade, or should we be looking at the wider impacts on personal well-being, wider society, and the environment? The uptake for AVs looks to be lengthy, disjointed, and episodic, in large measure because it faces a range of known unknown risks. This book assesses the environmental and social sustainability potential for AVs based on their prospective energy use and their impacts on climate change, urban landscapes, public health, mobility inequalities, and individual and social well-being. It examines public attitudes about AV use and its risk of fostering a rebound effect that compromises potential sustainability gains. The book concludes with a discussion of critical issues involved in sustainable AV diffusion.
Download or read book Autonomous Driving written by Markus Maurer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-21 with total page 706 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a look at fully automated, autonomous vehicles and discusses many open questions: How can autonomous vehicles be integrated into the current transportation system with diverse users and human drivers? Where do automated vehicles fall under current legal frameworks? What risks are associated with automation and how will society respond to these risks? How will the marketplace react to automated vehicles and what changes may be necessary for companies? Experts from Germany and the United States define key societal, engineering, and mobility issues related to the automation of vehicles. They discuss the decisions programmers of automated vehicles must make to enable vehicles to perceive their environment, interact with other road users, and choose actions that may have ethical consequences. The authors further identify expectations and concerns that will form the basis for individual and societal acceptance of autonomous driving. While the safety benefits of such vehicles are tremendous, the authors demonstrate that these benefits will only be achieved if vehicles have an appropriate safety concept at the heart of their design. Realizing the potential of automated vehicles to reorganize traffic and transform mobility of people and goods requires similar care in the design of vehicles and networks. By covering all of these topics, the book aims to provide a current, comprehensive, and scientifically sound treatment of the emerging field of “autonomous driving".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SAFETY AND HEALTH FOR ENGINEERS A comprehensive resource for making products, facilities, processes, and operations safe for workers, users, and the public Ensuring the health and safety of individuals in the workplace is vital on an interpersonal level but is also crucial to limiting the liability of companies in the event of an onsite injury. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported over 4,700 fatal work injuries in the United States in 2020, most frequently in transportation-related incidents. The same year, approximately 2.7 million workplace injuries and illnesses were reported by private industry employers. According to the National Safety Council, the cost in lost wages, productivity, medical and administrative costs is close to 1.2 trillion dollars in the US alone. It is imperative—by law and ethics—for engineers and safety and health professionals to drive down these statistics by creating a safe workplace and safe products, as well as maintaining a safe environment. Safety and Health for Engineers is considered the gold standard for engineers in all specialties, teaching an understanding of many components necessary to achieve safe workplaces, products, facilities, and methods to secure safety for workers, users, and the public. Each chapter offers information relevant to help safety professionals and engineers in the achievement of the first canon of professional ethics: to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public. The textbook examines the fundamentals of safety, legal aspects, hazard recognition and control, the human element, and techniques to manage safety decisions. In doing so, it covers the primary safety essentials necessary for certification examinations for practitioners. Readers of the fourth edition of Safety and Health for Engineers readers will also find: Updates to all chapters, informed by research and references gathered since the last publication The most up-to-date information on current policy, certifications, regulations, agency standards, and the impact of new technologies, such as wearable technology, automation in transportation, and artificial intelligence New international information, including U.S. and foreign standards agencies, professional societies, and other organizations worldwide Expanded sections with real-world applications, exercises, and 164 case studies An extensive list of references to help readers find more detail on chapter contents A solution manual available to qualified instructors Safety and Health for Engineers is an ideal textbook for courses in safety engineering around the world in undergraduate or graduate studies, or in professional development learning.

Download or read book Towards Artificial Intelligence Enabled 6G written by Richard Bell and published by . This book was released on 2021-09-26 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the rapid progress of 3GPP 5G phase 2 standardization and forthcoming commercial deployment of 5G system [1], many re- searchers [2],[3],[4],[5] from academia and industry have started envisioning what 6G will be. Giordani et al.[2] illustrated potential 6G use cases and potential enabling technologies. Zhao et al.[3] surveyed potential 6G technologies emphasizing artificial intelligence (AI), intelligent surfaces, and Terahertz communications. Huang et al.[4] presented a survey of potential technologies that are helpful to realizing sustainable 6G networks. Wikstrom et al.[5]described a set of potential challenges and possible technical components of the future 6G system. 6G is expected to support numerous novel Internet of Everything (IoE) applications such as extended reality (XR), holographic communica- tions, smart environments, and brain-computer interactions. To fulfill the challenging and diverse demands in terms of performance, security and cost, emerging technologies such as ultra-massive Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) [6], holographic beamforming, large intelligent surfaces (LIS)[7], Terahertz (THz) communications [8], visible-light communications (VLC), and new network paradigm such as intelligent radio, AI native architecture, space-aerial-terrestrial-ocean integrated 3D networks are under extensive studies. The large dimen- sion, super heterogeneous, extremely complex 6G networks should be flexible enough to provide customized services in dynamic environ- ments. However, it is very challenging to manage the complex system efficiently by conventional manual centric approaches. Planning and optimizing the space-air-ground integrated networks with different types of radio access technologies are facing many unprecedented challenges [9]. The growing diversity of network services and the complexity of network systems make conventional network managing and optimizing approaches relying on mathematical models no longer adequate[10]. All the above-mentioned issues call for new approaches to achieve a 6G system that is flexible, adaptive, and intelligent to support diverse services efficiently without heavily relying on conven- tional management and optimization paradigms.
