Biography
Lawrence A. Klein, has more than forty years experience of aerospace and traffic management experience, as a specialist in systems engineering and the development of sensors and data fusion concepts. He is a consultant and has been a research engineer, including working as Director of Advanced Technology Programs at Waveband Corporation and at the French National Institute for Transport and Safety Research. He is a Member of Transportation Research Board’s Highway Traffic Monitoring Committee and past member of the Freeway Operations Committee, and led the ASTM E17 Group V-ITS development of worldwide standards to evaluate traffic sensors. Klein is also a Visiting Professor at Harbin Institute of Technology in China, and is the principal author of the third edition of the FHWA‘s Traffic Detector Handbook.
"This book covers ITS sensors comprehensively, which will be useful to ITS students and practitioners...It will be a great ITS related reference for my shelf."
