Preface The first edition of this book was published in Germany by Expert Verlag in 2008. Since that time@ the increase in technical intelligence in transportation has been an unstoppable process. In the last three years@ government regulations regarding driving characteristics and combustion and exhaust-gas-treatment technologies have greatly expanded. Current requirements can only be fulfilled with the assistance of intelligent@ onboard@ microcontroller@ microsensor@ and microactuator systems. In recent years@ in addition to systems that measure engine and motor vehicle data@ other subsystems for sustainability have been developed@ such as remote sensing and data transfer technology. Complex traffic control systems also assume the existence of onboard intelligence. The trends in many other sectors of sustainability resemble those in the area of transport. A U-turn to sustainable transportation with regard to fuel consumption is still a long way off. Meanwhile@ increasing consumption of fuels eventually led to a multiplicity of complex problems@ such as accelerated environmental and climate change. European Union legislation@ specifically the EU 5 and EU 6 norms and the requirements for portable emission-measuring systems@ support the direct monitoring of emissions. This book describes technologies such as onboard diagnostics (OBD) and onboard measurement (OBM) and explains some of the applications that use these solutions. Combined OBD/OBM technology can optimize fieldmonitoring methods@ inspection and maintenance measures@ and exhaustgas testing procedures. The benefits of combined OBD/OBM technology are not confined to its practical application but can also contribute to the use of sustainable driving behavior. In shipping@ development trends are similar to those in the field of heavy commercial vehicles. Data transfer to a center for sustainable shipping can contribute to the ecological design of harbor taxes. In aviation@ intelligent microsensors can help to lower the fuel consumption of aircraft engines. In areas surrounding airports@ emission data serve to enable the introduction of the ecological design of airport taxes in the future@ similar to sustainable harbor taxes. It is hoped that this book will be used to stimulate further discussion for anyone who is interested in the fields of technology@ sustainability@ legislation@ environmental and climate protection@ and social and economic justice.
