Smart Mobility 2019 - Towards Sustainable and Economic Smart Mobility: Shaping the Future of Smart Cities

During the last two decades, developments in smart cars, vehicular communications, autonomous cars, and electric vehicles are revolutionising the future of smart cities and human transportation. With the rapid emerging of Internet of Things (IoT) and Internet of Energy (IoE) technologies and their integration with our surroundings, we are heading to a new era of highly connected and environmental friendly ecosystem in which we will thrive. This book aims to give a broad overview and deep insights into the latest developments in Smart Mobility, including the latest standards and regulations, technologies, research directions, security and safety, privacy, legal and ethical issues, and future trends. It also looks at the Car-to-X transportation/communication/computing paradigms including Internet of Vehicles (IoV), vehicular clouds, vehicular social networking, and emerging killer applications with these enabling technologies supported.
The book will provide a unique overview of the broad development in Smart Mobility from different technical perspectives. It will cover state-of-the-are developments in standards, applications, technologies (including future communications ones such as 5G, Artificial Intelligence, etc.), governmental efforts, auto industry solutions and research trends/efforts in this field. Furthermore, this book will provide a reference for professionals and researchers in the areas of Smart Mobility (e.g., autonomous valet parking, electric vehicle charging, railway scheduling, bike sharing in smart city) and recent technical trends on their enabling technologies.
Chapters dealing with the following aspects (but not limited to) are welcome:
Smart Mobility in Smart cities (smart parking, smart electric vehicle charging, railway network scheduling, UAV operation management, smart logistics, Ridesharing, Car sharing, On demand ride services, Mobility as a Service)
Human centric services integrated with Smart Mobility (social sciences, human interception)
