A Model for the Dynamic User-Equilibrium Problem Using a Hydrodynamic Theory Approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Operations Research Center, 1996-02)In this paper we study the dynamic user-equilibrium problem. The development of Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS) has made this problem very popular in the recent years. In this paper we take a hydrodynamic theory ... -
A model for the efficient use of energy resources

Modeling Decision of Choice Among Finite Alternative: Applications to Marketing and to Transportation Demand Theory
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Operations Research Center, 1974-10)A methodology to improve the effectiveness of the design of innovation is proposed based on knowledge in the fields of psychometrics, utility theory and stochastic choice modeling. It is comprised of a consumer response ... -
Modeling Travel Times in Dynamic Transportation Networks; A Fluid Dynamics Approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Operations Research Center, 2001-04)In this paper, we take a fluid dynamics approach to determine the travel time in traversing a network's link. We propose a general model for travel time functions that utilizes fluid dynamics laws for compressible flow to ... -

The Multi-Airport Ground-Holding Problem in Air Traffic Control
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Operations Research Center, 1992-02)In 1986, the total profits of the U.S. airline industry were of the order of $800 million, while its total delay costs due to congestion approached the figure of $2 billion. Motivated by this important problem of congestion ... -
A Multi-Exchange Neighborhood Search Heuristic for an Integrated Clustering and Machine Setup Model for PCB Manufacturing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Operations Research Center, 2001-03)In the manufacture of printed circuit boards, electronic components are attached to a blank board by one or more pick-and-place machines. Frequent machine setups, though time consuming, can reduce overall processing time. ... -
