Review text

The subject of this book -- the automatic vehicle guidance -- is an important problem due to its connections with the safety of traffic and with commercial aspects. Besides the obvious advantages leading to increasing safety and reducing road accidents -- thus saving human lives -- the automatic vehicle driving requires an optimal use of current infrastructures, improves mobility, and minimizes risks, travel times, and energy consumption. Commercial vehicles which repeatedly move along a given path require less personnel to manage their motion, therefore playing a fundamental role in the reduction of industrial costs. The automatically driven vehicles are able to follow the road and keep within the right line, maintaining a safe distance between vehicles. These vehicles regulate the speed according to traffic conditions and road characteristics, move across lanes in order to overtake vehicles, avoid obstacles, help to find the correct and shortest route to a destination point, and are able to move and park within urban environments. The book reflects investigations of different research groups which are working on the development of intelligent vehicles: 1. MOB-LAB Vehicle (Italy); 2. Centro Ricerche FIAT (Italy); 3. Universität der Bundeswehr (Germany); 4. Daimler-Benz (Germany); 5. Fraunhofer-Institut für Informations und Datenverarbeitung (Germany); 6. Laboratoire Central des Ponts-et-Chaussees de Strasbourg (France); 7. Defense Evaluation \& Research Agency (Great Britain); 8. Carnegie Mellon University (United States); 9. The Ohio State University (United States); 10. University of Michigan (United States); 11. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (United States). The topics presented in the book are of great importance both for social and economical applications.
