A distributed discrete element modeling environment : algorithms, implementation and applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
Distributed quantitative precipitation forecasts combining information from radar and numerical weather prediction model outputs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Applications of distributed Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts (QPF) range from flood forecasting to transportation. Obtaining QPF is acknowledged to be one of the most challenging areas in hydrology and meteorology. ... -
A distributed simulation environment for multibody physics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)A distributed simulation environment, which can be used to model multibody physics, is developed. The software design is based on the object oriented paradigm and is implemented in C++ to run on a single workstation or ... -

Driving change : how workplace benefits can nudge solo car commuters toward sustainable modes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)This thesis investigates the role that employer benefits can play in encouraging commuters to use sustainable modes of transportation, motivated by the increasing cost of parking provision at urban workplaces and the broader ... -
Driving confidence and in-vehicle telematics : a study of technology adoption patterns of the 50+ driving population
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)In-vehicle telematics is a term that encompasses a wide range of technologies, which aid the driving function through features assisting in safety and service tasks. These technologies are designed to give the operator and ... -
Driving segments analysis for energy and environmental impacts of worsening traffic
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)During the last two decades, traffic congestion in the U.S. has increased from 30% to 67% of peak period travel. Further, current research shows that measures taken within transportation systems, such as adding capacity, ... -
