Accurate and timely detection of leaks in water supply pipes is a significant environmental issue. Development of efficient non-invasive methods would lead into significant water saving and prevention of health hazards introduced by water leakage. This paper shows the ability to use a high...

Virtual Reality Technology has just recently started to be implemented to major industries of Intelligent Transportation systems and, therefore, very few studies have been conducted, in order to define the actual impacts of the use of such technology. A study of indicative cost and benefits of...

This article investigates how, and with what success, global organisations design computer-based systems for knowledge sharing which aim to balance centralised and standardised approaches against more diverse local needs. The empirical basis for the article is provided by an analysis of two...

ITS is a term encapsulating a very wide range of technologies, systems and applications. As these technologies underwent a great deal of development during the last 20 years, so has this term. This paper tries to cluster and define the most significant ITS technologies, matching different...

Several Information Technology Systems (such as in-vehicle and infrastructure-based systems for traffic information provision) have been evaluated within the context of the research project TRAVEL-GUIDE. This paper presents the data obtained through these evaluations, which relate to costs and...

A methodology to identify various types of risks associated with the implementation and use of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems is presented. It is based on a conventional Failure Mode and Effects Analysis methodology, which has been extended so as to assess risks due to drivers’ errors...
