We do this in hope that they can better understand the previous and current generations of emissions control, and improve upon them. This book is designed for the engineer, researcher, designer, student, or any combination of those, who is concerned with the control of automotive exhaust emissions. It includes discussion of theory and fundamentals applicable to hardware development.
Download or read book The Law and Autonomous Vehicles written by Matthew Channon and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When will we see autonomous vehicles on our roads? The answer is that to some degree, they are already here. Numerous organisations are testing fully autonomous prototypes on public roads in the UK, and even commercially available vehicles already have several ‘quasi-autonomous’ features. KPMG has forecasted that the connected and autonomous vehicles market could be worth as much as £51 billion to the British economy by 2030 and could create some 30,000 new jobs over the same period. Accordingly, the UK and a number of other jurisdictions are already implementing legal reforms with a view to smoothing the path for this technology. Notably, Parliament has passed the Automated and Electric Vehicles Act 2018 dealing with the insurance of such vehicles, and changes are currently being made to the Road Vehicle (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 and to the Highway Code to accommodate highly automated technologies. The government has also issued non-statutory guidance in relation to testing on public roads, and in relation to vehicle cybersecurity. Against this rapidly changing landscape, this book analyses the key legal issues facing autonomous vehicles, including testing on public roads, insurance, product liability, and cyber security and data protection. It also examines the approach being taken in other jurisdictions, including Austria, Germany, Greece, Italy, the USA, and South Africa.

This book was released on 2024-12-24 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Key elements in the formation of smart cities are development based on cooperation between local governments and business, the realization of sustainable development goals, the creation of social sustainability, the advancement of information and communication technologies (ICT) and the use of innovative solutions. The theories of information and communication have become the main driver of economic development in a globalized world and the information component plays a key role in building the competitive potential of countries and cities. The purpose of this book is to systematize knowledge about the practical application and importance of innovative solutions in the economic and social fields. An important aspect of this edition is the presentation of innovations applied in the field of conservation, not only of energy or environmental resources, but also of economic, social and spatial resources. We propose that this edition provides a knowledge base on the basic concepts of corporate social responsibility (CSR), formulating the important role of management in the context of CSR, smart management, smart economy and smart cities. The book is a comprehensive study of the smart city concept in its broadest sense, covering environmental, social and economic issues. It will be helpful to professionals in companies, in logistics departments and in the management teams. It can be useful for practitioners and analysts in the transportation industry to expand applications of ICT solutions. It will also be valuable to researchers, doctoral students of economics in management and entrepreneurship, logistics, as well as students at the advanced level, as it brings a range of valuable information that can serve as base material and reference for further research, programmes and studies.
