The authors of the book examine technologies and tools such as UAVs, GIS, cutting-edge information and communication technologies, machine learning and big data to assess their potential for reducing traffic, redirecting traffic to assigned routes, monitoring traffic growth and development in our urban centres, with the ultimate aim of reducing congestion\/commuting time, accidents, and pollution to promote climate action and a just transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book offers a comparative study of transport situation and planning in the developed and developing countries, focusing on the United States of America, Germany and Singapore in the Global North on one hand and South Africa, Nigeria and India from the Global South on the other. As more and more of the world’s population lives in urban centers, proactively monitoring and managing car traffic is essential. The book will be of interest to academics and researchers in the built environment (architecture, urban and regional planning, construction management, quantity surveying, geography), engineering, environmental sciences, social sciences, public policy, design in both the developed and developing countries.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2024-08-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031669422\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-66943-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 240\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45169225793676,"sku":"9783031669422","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031669422.jpg?v=1772947083","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031669422","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
