      Vehicular Platoon System Design: Fundamentals and Robustness provides a comprehensive introduction to connected and automated vehicular platoon system design. Platoons decrease the distances between cars or trucks using electronic, and possibly mechanical, coupling. This capability allows many cars or trucks to accelerate or brake simultaneously. It also allows for a closer headway between vehicles by eliminating reacting distance needed for human reaction. The book considers the key issues of robustness and cybersecurity, with optimization-based model predictive control schemes applied to control vehicle platoon.In the controller design part, several practical problems, such as constraint handling, optimal control performance, robustness against disturbance, and resilience against cyberattacks are reviewed. In addition, the book provides detailed theoretical analysis of the stability of the platoon under different control schemes.

      Graph Based Multimedia Analysis applies concepts from graph theory to the problems of analyzing overabundant video data. Video data can be quite diverse: exocentric (captured by a standard camera) or egocentric (captured by a wearable device like Google Glass); of various durations (ranging from a few seconds to several hours); and could be from a single source or multiple sources. Efficient extraction of important information from such a large class of diverse video data can be overwhelming. The book, with its rich repertoire of theoretically elegant solutions, from graph theory in conjunction with deep learning, constrained optimization, and game theory, empowers the audience to achieve tasks like obtaining concise yet useful summaries and precisely recognizing single as well as multiple actions in a computationally efficient manner. The book provides a unique treatise on topics like egocentric video analysis and scalable video processing.

      Beam to Square Steel Tube Endplate Connection Using Thread-fixed One-side Bolts: Analysis and Design provides research information on thread-fixed one-side bolt (TOB), which is anchored through screwed threads in the bolt hole. Although beam-column endplate connections have been studied by many researchers and been widely used in engineering applications, the standard high strength bolts are not convenient for the bolted beam to square tube column endplate connection. The one-side bolts, which can be installed and tightened from outside of the tube column, provide a solution for beam to closed section column bolted connections.This book introduces the basic principles and design methods regarding the failure modes, and the design method of load carrying capacity of endplate connection using thread-fixed one-side bolts.
