Control, Computers, Communications in Transportation : Selected Papers from the IFAC/IFIP/IFORS Symposium, Paris, France, 19-21 September 1989

This volume investigates developments and future trends in transportation research and what effects they will have on society. The coverage is broad; including road (urban and motorway), rail and air-traffic control. The sections deal with safety aspects, modelling and simulation, the use of sensors and image processing. The final section covers the development and implementation of new route guidance systems. This up-to-date information will be of use to transport engineers, urban planners, operations research and systems scientists.
