Urban mobility is not only one of the pillars of modern economic systems, but also a key issuein the quest
for equality of opportunity, once it can improve access to other services. Currently, however, there are a number
of negative issues related to traffic, especially in mega-cities, suchas economical issues (cost of opportunity
caused by delays), environmental (externalities relatedto emissions of pollutants), and social (traffic accidents).
Solutions to these issues are more andmore closely tied to information and communication technology. Indeed,
a search in the technical literature (using the keyword “urban traffic” to filter out articles on data network
traffic) retrievedthe following number of articles (as of December 3, 2013): 9,443 (ACM Digital Library),
26,054(Scopus), and 1,730,000 (Google Scholar). Moreover, articles listed in the ACM query relate toconferences
as diverse as MobiCom, CHI, PADS, and AAMAS. This means that there is a bigand diverse community
of computer scientists and computer engineers who tackle research that isconnected to the development of
intelligent traffic and transportation systems. It is also possibleto see that this community is growing, and that
research projects are getting more and more interdisciplinary. To foster the cooperation among the involved
communities, this book aims at givinga broad introduction into the basic but relevant concepts related to
transportation systems, targeting researchers and practitioners from computer science and information
technology. In addition, the second part of the book gives a panorama of some of the most exciting and newest
technologies, originating in computer science and computer engineering, that are now being employed inprojects
related to car-to-car communication, interconnected vehicles, car navigation, platooning, crowd sensing and
sensor networks, among others. This material will also be of interest toengineers and researchers from the
traffic and transportation community.
