Communication, information and responsibility distribution strategies for effective real-time transit service management
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Resolving disruptions is a continual challenge to providing quality, cost-effective transit service. While a number of recovery techniques exist to recover from disruptions, detecting a disruption, choosing a response and ...
A Web-based laboratory of travel and telecommunications behavior
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
Measured performance of a large excavation on the MIT campus
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Estimating the true extent of air traffic delays
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Most air traffic delay measures assess delays relative to schedule. Over the past decades, however, airline schedules have been adjusted to take into account airspace congestion and yield better on-time performance. In ...
Simulation to assess plumbing and fire protection innovations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
The use of market research methods in understanding choice transit riders
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
Lane changing models for arterial traffic
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Driving behavior models for lane-changing and acceleration form an integral component of microscopic traffic simulators and determine its value in evaluation of different traffic management strategies. The state-of-art ...
Hierarchical and size dependent mechanical properties of silica and silicon nanostructures inspired by diatom algae
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
Biology implements fundamental principles that allow for attractive mechanical properties, as observed in biomineralized structures. For example, diatom algae contain nanoporous hierarchical silicified shells that provide ...
Numerical modeling of methane venting from lake sediments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
The dynamics of methane transport in lake sediments control the release of methane into the water column above, and the portion that reaches the atmosphere may contribute significantly to the greenhouse effect. The observed ...
Simulations and predictions of mosquito populations in rural Africa using rainfall inputs from satellites and forecasts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
This thesis describes studies on the use of the Hydrology, Entomology and Malaria Transmission Simulator (HYDREMATS) developed and tested against field data by Bomblies et al. (2008) in simulating and predicting the potential ...
