Editorial Reviews

An introduction to the application of telematics (the coupling of information technology and communications) to road transport. The term advanced transport telematics (ATT) refers to such application, while the term intelligent vehicle-highway systems (IVHS) embodies the objective of achieving an integrated road transport system. This volume describes some of the current ATT developments in Europe, America, and Japan, providing readers with an overview of current progress and a feel for the quickening pace emerging in ATT implementation.
