Klappentext

This book covers the critical challenges and improvements in the transport industry, which are increasingly becoming automated. Focusing on aeronautical information management and the transforming role of air traffic controllers to provide safe and sustainable aviation, it examines the complex field of transport safety and security in a highly automated environment. The topics to be discussed will include the integration of smart power systems, renewable energy, energy storage, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity within transportation networks.

Special attention is given to force health protection and human-system integration, highlighting the flight surgeon's view on how to maintain human performance in aviation systems. Spatial disorientation and practical training on vestibular illusions form part of this book for the enhancement of aviation safety.

It also goes on to discuss advanced grid security and flexibility for a power infrastructure that will need to remain secure for various advanced transport technologies. The status of integration on hybrid electric propulsion, air vehicle design, and morphing of the role of robotic systems in transport helps to illustrate how emerging technologies will reshape the transport landscape.

This book captures the dynamic nature of human performance in complex socio-technical systems and provides insights into the control mechanisms required for effective vehicle system management. It addresses critical aspects of flight safety, especially in the operation of unmanned vehicles, and assesses the impact of AI on cybersecurity.

The research into these will be comprehensive, showing clearly the connection of transport systems, safety, and technologies into which the future of transportation is cast, especially with regard to data security and safety education programs that have become so relevant for road safety advancement across regions.
