Lecture Notes in Intelligent Transportation and Infrastructure

This book offers a comprehensive presentation of methods for analysing reliability, safety, and risk in railway control systems. It introduces a model‑based approach to hybrid reliability and safety assessment, supported by a structured ontology that brings together core concepts from reliability engineering, functional safety, and cybersecurity. It covers structural and functional reliability, the prediction of rare dangerous events, and the mathematical models and metrics used to evaluate critical railway components. Approaches for normalising reliability indicators, analysing switching algorithms, and understanding systematic failures complement the discussion, together with expert‑based techniques for estimating failure distributions where statistical data are limited. Modern challenges, such as the safety of AI‑supported systems, information security risks, and the role of digital twins in preventing hazardous failures, are explored in depth. Practical examples include derailment‑risk reduction, assessment of train movements under prohibited signals, and the use of automated signalling to improve safety at railway stations. Graph‑based methods for evaluating operational safety and tools for modelling fire risks on locomotives are also included. It further presents methods for analysing incomplete expert preferences and constructing risk matrices within the ALARP framework, applicable not only to railway systems but also to other high‑reliability industries.Providing both theoretical foundations and practical applications, this book is a valuable resource for railway engineers, safety specialists, risk analysts, and students in railway and transport engineering.

A WATERSTONES PAPERBACK OF THE YEAR 2026 SHORTLISTED FOR BLACKWELL'S BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025 SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR CONSERVATION WRITING 2025 SHORTLISTED FOR THE INDIE BOOK AWARDS 2026From celebrated writer Robert Macfarlane comes this brilliant, perspective-shifting new book - which answers a resounding yes to the question of its title.At its heart is a single, transformative idea: that rivers are not mere matter for human use, but living beings - who should be recognized as such in both imagination and law. Is a River Alive? takes the reader on an exhilarating exploration of the past, present and futures of this ancient, urgent concept.The book flows first to northern Ecuador, where a miraculous cloud-forest and its rivers are threatened by goldmining.Then, to the wounded rivers, creeks and lagoons of southern India, where a desperate battle to save the lives of these waterbodies is under way.And finally, to north-eastern Quebec, where a spectacular wild river - the Mutehekau or Magpie - is being defended from death by damming in a river-rights campaign.At once Macfarlane's most personal and most political book to date, Is a River Alive? will open hearts, spark debates and lead us to the revelation that our fate flows with that of rivers - and always has.2025 BOOK OF THE YEAR ACCORDING TO SPECTATOR, I PAPER, ECONOMIST, ESQUIRE, TIMESHORTLISTED FOR THE EDWARD STANFORD TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR 2026 SHORTLISTED FOR THE SHERBORNE PRIZE FOR TRAVEL WRITING 2026 LONGLISTED FOR THE RSL ONDAATJE PRIZE 2026

Is a River Alive?

A fascinating guide to the history of drugs and medicines, the science of how they work, and the way they've shaped healthcare and societyToday, drugs are a ubiquitous tool in all our lives, from the highly specialised gene therapies used to treat hitherto incurable disease to the common painkillers we take to relieve fevers and headaches. But healing plants and herbs have been revered since time immemorial, and have been used for as long as people have experienced illness. Over the last century our understanding of these therapeutic wonders has developed at astonishing speed, and so the science of pharmacology was born.Esteemed scientist Rod Flower guides us through the fascinating history of the discipline and shows us how drugs really work. How are medicines developed, and what gives scientists the confidence their therapies will function as intended? What happens inside our bodies when we ingest these mysterious chemicals, and how have they shaped the progress of societies across the world?This accessible introduction to the science of drugs reveals their intriguing inner workings and celebrates their remarkable healing power.

The Story of Pharmacology

How to fix the tech we depend on to empower, rather than endanger, the people who use it. From an award-winning pioneer in data infrastructure and leader in tech policy, lauded by the Library of Congress, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, and Newsweek. Technology powers our world. But we often give it the upper hand, treating tech solutions as right by default and accepting online risk as the price we have to pay. Rampant security breaches, unwanted surveillance, predators, and misinformation are just a normal part of cyberspace. But what if tech was designed and managed to empower and protect the people who use it? In Better Tech, Francine Berman explores this question and argues that for society to advance and humanity to thrive, technology must put people first. Berman focuses on the riskiest and most essential technologies—social media, AI chatbots, search engines—all of which serve as digital critical infrastructure. She argues that the risk-mitigation strategies for critical infrastructure like roads, bridges, food systems, and the electrical grid can also be used for cyberspace because we should be able to expect that our technology is similarly safe, dependable, and trustworthy. Better Tech goes beyond identifying the problems of technology and provides an actionable playbook of responsible design, development, use, and regulatory strategies that can be used by everyone from policymakers to students and general readers to reduce technology’s risks and advance the public good.

Putting People First in Cyberspace

Better Tech

We have entered a new era of turbo-charged financial extraction. Having amassed huge reserves, global finance capital is seeking out fresh areas for profitable investments. Nothing and no one is safe. In Privatising humanity, Kate Bayliss shows how investment banks and hedge funds target our essential services, while simultaneously extending their reach into lower-income countries. When it comes to investments in these sectors, shareholder profits are funded by us, the end-users and tax-payers who simply wish to meet our basic human needs for water, warmth and shelter. We have no alternative but to pay into these structures that generate massive returns for the rich. Unpacking the details of these processes in three sectors in the UK - water, energy and housing - Bayliss exposes the devastating consequences of this model, which is driving inequality to levels not seen in a century.

How Our Essential Human Needs Became Financial Assets

Privatising Humanity

A bold, hopeful argument for using our oceans to meet the worldwide need for food, renewable energy, and economic well-being without sacrificing the health of the planet As the world struggles to feed humanity, fuel economies and trade, and fulfill global energy needs, companies and governments are rushing to the vast blue expanse that covers two-thirds of our planet. But should we let them? A Sea of Wealth makes the provocative case for why we must harness the ocean—and demonstrates how we can do so wisely. Blending the latest science with engaging personal stories from a lifetime spent in and around the ocean, Ben Halpern takes readers around the globe to explore five key resources in the rapidly emerging blue economy: food, energy, transport, minerals, and carbon. He carefully considers what each has to offer, their environmental risks, and how they compare to land-based alternatives, while wrestling with his own feelings about using the sea. The danger is that industry and government will push too fast, too far into the ocean. Yet these expanding uses could provide environmental solutions at a planetary scale. A timely book by one of the world’s most influential environmental scientists, A Sea of Wealth tackles the question of whether we should halt or encourage the exploitation of our oceans and their untold resources—the answers may surprise you.
