Explainable artificial intelligence for intelligent transportation system tackling certain challenges in the field of autonomous vehicle, traffic management system, data integration and analytics and monitor the surrounding environment. The book discusses and inform researchers on explainable Intelligent Transportation system. It also discusses prospective methods and techniques for enabling the interpretability of transportation systems. The book further focuses on ethical considerations apart from technical considerations.

In a world where business is increasingly influenced by rapid technological advancements and shifting societal norms, the definition of success has undergone a fundamental transformation. Profitability, once the sole measure of achievement, now shares the stage with sustainability as a critical component of business performance. As we transition into Society 5.0—a hyper-connected era where technology and human values converge—redefining success to include sustainability becomes not just desirable but essential. Sustainable Development, Humanities, and Social Sciences for Society 5.0 explores this paradigm shift, presenting a forward-thinking perspective on the intersection of technological innovation and sustainable business practices. This comprehensive volume bridges the gap between emerging technologies and the imperative for businesses to thrive in a way that benefits society and the environment. Through a curated collection of insights, strategies, and case studies, the book offers a valuable resource for understanding how to achieve continuous good performance while making a positive impact in the age of Society 5.0.

This book concisely describes the technologies, human perception, and cognition issues relevant to autonomous vehicles. It also gives an insight in the changes bring about our future everyday lives. Autonomous vehicles are the future of the automobile industry. Automated driving (AD), also called self-driving, raises however several multiple questions, among them those of user safety and acceptation. Comprehensive HMI system design, with windshield display technics, will be necessary to deal with driving task delegations, bringing the use of VR or augmented reality (AR) technologies. In addition, the use of VR for all the vehicle interiors will progressively be proposed for entertainment, online business activities and for modified visual motion perception to alleviate car sickness, a form of motion sickness. Indeed, car sickness is already well known for many passengers, especially when reading or operating smartphones or other display devices. It is called to increase significantly with the introduction of autonomous vehicles where all users will be for long periods in various sitting positions. These two new trends, AD and VR, are already modifying our relationship with the world and the society. All together, they will change our way of life forever. The book will be of interest to professionals in the auto industry, researchers in automotive engineering and computer science and all those interested in the future of transport.
