Automobile Automation Distributed Cognition on the Road

Automobile Automation Distributed Cognition on the Road

Increasing levels of driving automation has changed the role of the driver from active operator to passive monitor. However Systems Design has been plagued by criticism for failing to acknowledge the new role of the driver within the system network. To understand the driver's new role within an automated driving system the theory of Distributed Cognition is adopted. This approach provides a useful framework for the investigation of allocation of function between multiple agents in the driving system. A Systems Design Framework has been developed that outlines how the Distributed Cognition paradigm can be applied to driving using both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies. | Automobile Automation Distributed Cognition on the Road

Freshwater Pollution and Aquatic Ecosystems Environmental Impact and Sustainable Management

Freshwater Pollution and Aquatic Ecosystems Environmental Impact and Sustainable Management

This new volume addresses the environmental impacts of pollution on freshwater aquatic ecosystems and presents sustainable management and remediation practices and advanced technology help to address the different types of pollutants. Freshwater Pollution and Aquatic Ecosystems: Environmental Impact and Sustainable Management considers the need for sustainable efficient and cost-effective tools and technologies to assess monitor and properly manage the increasing issues of aquatic pollution. It provides detailed accounts of the phenomena and mechanisms related to aquatic pollution and highlights the problems and threats associated with pollution contamination in freshwater. It provides useful insight into the sustainable and advanced pollution remediation technology adopted by different countries for the monitoring assessment and sustainable management of pollution. The chapters in the volume evaluate the sources of harmful pollutants which include industrial effluents sewage and runoff from agricultural industries which result in toxic microbes organic waste oils and high load of nutrients. Unsustainable management practices of domestic sewage and indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides lead to the technological disturbance of aquatic biota. In addition to harming aquatic biota these pollutants find their way into the human body through inhalation ingestion or absorption and finally tend to bio-accumulate in trophic levels of the food chain which poses a major risk to human beings. This book will be a valuable resource for ecologists environmentalists scientists and many others for their work in understanding and management of aquatic pollutants in freshwater biospheres. | Freshwater Pollution and Aquatic Ecosystems Environmental Impact and Sustainable Management
