Fire Station Districting Using Simulation: Case Study in Centre Region, Pennsylvania
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)In this paper, fire station redistricting of the Centre Region in Pennsylvania is considered to improve the efficiency of service and reflect the changing characteristics of the region. The problem is formulated as a ... -
Public and Private Built Investment in the New Economy: Exploring Regional Differences, 1990–2000
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Built investment in buildings, facilities, and infrastructure underpin the performance of cities and regions, so the ways built investments influence the economic success of regions are important. This paper reports analyses ... -
Games, Heuristics, and Risk Averseness in Vehicle Routing Problems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)For many freight carriers, uncertainty about travel times (or more generally, about travel costs) is a pervasive aspect of routing and scheduling. As the impact of an unforeseen delay on costs can be substantial, freight ... -
Projecting Building Inventory Changes and the Effect on Hurricane Risk
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)This paper introduces a quantitative methodology to model the way that the number, locations, and types of buildings in a region change over time, specifically in order to understand how those changes affect hurricane risk. ... -

Traveler Response to Innovative Personalized Demand-Responsive Transit in the San Francisco Bay Area
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Urban sprawl makes conventional transit less competitive and points to the need for more innovative and flexible demand-responsive transit systems in the future. To increase their efficiency, such systems can take advantage ... -
Housing Quality: Implications for Design and Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)This study analyzes a broad range of data in Jordan on people’s housing and customer attitudes using a questionnaire to measure the factors that influence people’s choice of housing and to decide upon the choice that best ... -
Retrofit Priority of Transport Network Links under an Earthquake
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)This paper analyzes the economic impact of an earthquake on transportation network that contains more detail for the Midwest states. Two aspects of cost are considered in the paper: final demand loss and transport cost ... -
Improved Solution Algorithm for Multicommodity Continuous Distribution and Assignment Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Consider a city, with multiple regional activity centers (RACs), in which the locations of traveler demand are continually dispersed. The total demand generated from a particular location in the city is fixed, but the ... -
Highway Investment Planning Model for Equity Issues
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)In the present study, we revised and expanded the basic model proposed in our previous study to better deal with equity issues in highway investment planning. The issues cover horizontal (intraregional) and vertical ... -
Scenario Planning for Strategic Regional Transportation Planning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)This paper proposes a framework for using business and organizational scenario-planning techniques for regional strategic transportation-planning purposes. The paper provides a brief history of scenario planning as it ... -
Balance of Car Ownership under User Demand and Road Network Supply Conditions—Case Study in Hong Kong
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)In this paper we present a new concept for balancing car ownership from both user demand and road network supply conditions. On the demand side, territory-wide and zonal car ownership is first estimated by an aggregate and ... -
Environmental Impact Analysis Using Fuzzy Relation for Landfill Siting
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)Technological and industrial developmental project activities disturb the natural ecosystem and have multiple direct and indirect environmental consequences. The disposal of waste material, being a prominent activity that ... -
Natural Disaster Management in Iran during the 1990s—Need for a New Structure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)Iran is a disaster-prone country. A rapid rate of population growth, overurbanization, and environmental degradation have led to increasing risk to and vulnerability of structures and settlements. No significant and effective ... -
Assessing Extrajurisdictional and Areawide Impacts of Clustered Brownfield Developments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)Brownfields are vacant, underutilized, or abandoned industrial and commercial sites where real or perceived environmental contamination is an obstacle to development. Federal initiatives in the 1990s reduced legal liabilities ... -
Empirical Analysis of Relationship between Accessibility and Economic Development
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)The main goal of this paper is to investigate the impact of accessibility changes on the level of economic development in a given region. In this paper, we introduce several types of accessibility measures while economic ... -
Urban Transit Scheduling: Framework, Review and Examples
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)A transit operational planning process includes four basic components performed usually in sequence: (1) network route design; (2) setting timetables; (3) scheduling vehicles to trips; and (4) assignment of drivers. This ... -

Modeling Urbanization by Accessibility in Rapid-Growth Areas
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)This study aims to develop a model to analyze urbanization in rapid-growth areas according to time distances from multigravity centers and to simulate the level of urbanization (urban land ratio) by the variation of spatial ... -
Sustainable Practices to Meet Shelter Needs in India
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)Adequate shelter for all is one of the most pressing challenges faced by developing countries. Based on its census of 1991, India had a shortage of 18.5 million houses in 1991, and this number would have swollen since then. ...
