Dynamic prediction of terminal-area severe convective weather penetration
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Despite groundbreaking technology and revised operating procedures designed to improve the safety of air travel, numerous aviation accidents still occur every year. According to a recent report by the FAA's Aviation Weather ...
Predicting mortality for patients in critical care : a univariate flagging approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Predicting outcomes for critically ill patients is a topic of considerable interest. The most widely used models utilize data from early in a patient's stay to predict risk of death. While research has shown that use of ...
Automatic data for applied railway management : passenger demand, service quality measurement, and tactical planning on the London Overground Network
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
The broad goal of this thesis is to demonstrate the potential positive impacts of applying automatic data to the management and tactical planning of a modern urban railway. Tactical planning is taken here to mean the set ...
Optimal scheduling of fighter aircraft maintenance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
The effective scheduling of fighter aircraft maintenance in the Air Force is crucial to overall mission accomplishment. An effective maintenance scheduling policy maximizes the use of maintenance resources and aircraft ...
Dynamic planning under uncertainty for theater airlift operations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
In this thesis, we analyze intratheater airlift operations, and propose methods to improve the planning process. The United States Air Mobility Command is responsible for the air component of the world wide U.S. military ...
Large-scale dynamic observation planning for unmanned surface vessels
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
With recent advances in research and technology, autonomous surface vessel capabilities have steadily increased. These autonomous surface vessel technologies enable missions and tasks to be performed without the direction ...
Anomaly detection methods for unmanned underwater vehicle performance data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
This thesis considers the problem of detecting anomalies in performance data for unmanned underwater vehicles(UUVs). UUVs collect a tremendous amount of data, which operators are required to analyze between missions to ...
Information fusion for an unmanned underwater vehicle through probabilistic prediction and optimal matching
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
This thesis presents a method for information fusion for an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV).We consider a system that fuses contact reports from automated information system (AIS) data and active and passive sonar sensors. ...
Prescriptive methods for adaptive learning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
It is undeniable that recent world events and globalization have transformed online learning into one of the main channels for education. Online learning has become a necessity, not a luxury. Universities, schools, and ...
Optimization of micro-coaxial wire routing in complex microelectronic systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
In this thesis, we explore wire routing strategies for new paradigms in chip design. Where current chip design techniques involve multi-layered techniques to prevent wire crossings and electrical interference, we work with ...
