Calibration of dynamic traffic assignment models with point-to-point traffic surveillance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Accurate calibration of demand and supply simulators within a Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) system is critical for the provision of consistent travel information and efficient traffic management. Emerging traffic ...
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 ...
Inventory planning for low demand items in online retailing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
A large online retailer strategically stocks inventory for SKUs with low demand. The motivations are to provide a wide range of selections and faster customer fulfillment service. We assume the online retailer has the ...
Optimization-based allocation of force protection resources in an asymmetric environment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
More than four years after the end of major combat operations in the 2003 Iraq War, the United States military continues to sustain casualties at rates higher than those during the ground campaign. Combat service support ...
Trust-based design of human-guided algorithms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
By combining the strengths of human and computers, Human Machine Collaborative Decision Making has been shown to generate higher quality solutions in less time than conventional computerized methods. In many cases, it is ...
Robust optimization for network-based resource allocation problems under uncertainty
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
We consider large-scale, network-based, resource allocation problems under uncertainty, with specific focus on the class of problems referred to as multi-commodity flow problems with time-windows. These problems are at the ...
