This book presents a comprehensive coverage of the five fundamental yet intertwined pillars paving the road towards the future of connected autonomous electric vehicles and smart cities. The connectivity pillar covers all the latest advancements and various technologies on vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications/networking and vehicular cloud computing with special emphasis on their role towards vehicle autonomy and smart cities applications. On the other hand the autonomy track focuses on the different efforts to improve vehicle spatiotemporal perception of its surroundings using multiple sensors and different perception technologies. Since most of CAVs are expected to run on electric power studies on their electrification technologies satisfaction of their charging demands interactions with the grid and the reliance of these components on their connectivity and autonomy is the third pillar that this book covers. On the smart services side the book highlights the game-changing roles CAV will play in future mobility services and intelligent transportation systems. The book also details the ground-breaking directions exploiting CAVs in broad spectrum of smart cities applications. Example of such revolutionary applications are autonomous mobility on-demand services with integration to public transit smart homes and buildings. The fifth and final pillar involves the illustration of security mechanisms innovative business models market opportunities and societal/economic impacts resulting from the soon-to-be-deployed CAVs. This book contains an archival collection of top quality cutting-edge and multidisciplinary research on connected autonomous electric vehicles and smart cities. The book is an authoritative reference for smart city decision makers automotive manufacturers utility operators smart-mobility service providers telecom operators communications engineers power engineers vehicle charging providers university professors researchers and students who would like to learn more about the advances in CAEVs connectivity autonomy electrification security and integration into smart cities and intelligent transportation systems. | Connected and Autonomous Vehicles in Smart Cities

This applies to all products except for digital items (e.g. Digital Music) that are provided immediately to you with your acknowledgement, and other items such as video, DVD, audio, video games, Sex and Sensuality products and software products where the item has been unsealed.
Sellers have to offer a refund for certain items only if they are faulty, such as: Personalised items and custom-made items, Perishable items, Newspapers and magazines, Unwrapped CDs DVDs and computer software. If you used your PayPal balance or bank account to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your PayPal account balance. If you used a credit or debit card to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your card. The seller will effect the refund within three working days but it may take up to 30 days for Paypal to process the transfer.
