Abstract: To help governments improve preparedness for emergency events, this study introduces a solution framework for the multidepot inventory slack-routing problem (ISRP). By defining slack as the difference between delivery ...

Abstract: This research explores the effectiveness of using simulation as a tool for enhancing classroom learning in the Civil Engineering Department of the University of Minnesota at Twin Cities. The authors developed a modern ...

Abstract: In this paper, the term network pruning is used to describe the process of extracting an appropriate subnetwork from a larger network for efficient and accurate path search. There is sparse literature on network pruning ...

Abstract: Both patrolling and prepositioned strategies for allocating emergency traffic response units have been implemented in practice. To compare the performance of both response strategies, this study has conducted an efficiency ...

Abstract: For determining highly disaggregate details about traffic dynamics, microscopic traffic simulation has long proven to be a valuable tool for the evaluation of development plans and operation/control strategies. With recent ...

Abstract: Application of microscopic traffic simulation beyond the corridor level analysis is not widely seen in literature. This is partly because of the fact that a simulation model cannot capture behavior responses such as peak ...
