Abstract: The problem of designing districts for winter maintenance operations for a state department of transportation (DOT) is considered in this study. Many maintenance activities, including snow removal, are routed to serve ...

Abstract: The land‐allocation problem is one of selecting, from a finite number of candidate parcels, that set of parcels that best meets the needs of a specific land‐use objective. This research extends land‐allocation modeling ...

Abstract: The advent and widespread use of innovative spatial analysis technologies, such as geographic information systems (GIS), computer aided design (CAD) systems, and global positioning systems (GPS), have prompted great interest ...

Abstract: The decline of birth rates in the United States during the 1960's and 1970's has lead to subsequent declines in the enrollment of students in public schools during the 1980's. In response, many public school systems have ...

Abstract: Many theoretical and operational methods have been developed to identify optimal land‐use allocation strategies. In general, it is possible to classify these models into single land‐use allocation (SLUA) and multiple ...

Abstract: A multiobjective personnel management model was developed to aid engineering managers in making seasonal job reassignments where the problem is to assign up to 150 workers to up to 50 jobsites. The model may be used to ...

Abstract: The term

Abstract: Spatial decision support systems (SDSS) denotes computer‐based analytical systems for addressing management problems within domains having a spatial dimension. The allocation of land resources to specific land uses based ...

Abstract: The design of transportation‐network service routes is both combinatorially complex and fraught with multiple and conflicting management objectives. The focus of this work is the design and development of a computer‐aided ...
