Constraint Optimal Selection Techniques (Costs) For A Class Of Linear Programming Problems, Tai-Kuan Sung
Constraint Optimal Selection Techniques (Costs) For A Class Of Linear Programming Problems, Tai-Kuan Sung
Industrial, Manufacturing, and Systems Engineering Dissertations
This dissertation describes two classes of Constraint Optimal Selection Techniques (COSTs). An algorithm of each type is developed for solving nonnegative linear programming problems. In addition, geometric interpretations of these new algorithms are given, computational results for some large-scale problems are provided, and directions for future research are discussed.
A Systematic Stakeholder-Driven Framework For Empirical Characterization And Parameterization Of Human Agents For Agent-Based Modeling Of Older Adults' Transportation, Nilufer Oran Gibson
A Systematic Stakeholder-Driven Framework For Empirical Characterization And Parameterization Of Human Agents For Agent-Based Modeling Of Older Adults' Transportation, Nilufer Oran Gibson
Industrial, Manufacturing, and Systems Engineering Dissertations
Standard of living for health and well-being of oneself and of one’s family is a human right. Vulnerable populations are incapable of maintaining an adequate standard of living due to several reasons, such as financial constraints, racial profiling, health conditions, aging, and the combination of these reasons. To alleviate their vulnerability, the most basic needs of the vulnerable populations must be met. Transportation is the essential link to the resources to address the basic needs of the vulnerable populations. Transportation solutions tailored for vulnerable populations to meet their basic needs have multiple dimensions that require the involvement of all government …
Design For Older Adults – Functional Limitations And Human Factors Engineering, Megumi Sato Hice
Design For Older Adults – Functional Limitations And Human Factors Engineering, Megumi Sato Hice
Industrial, Manufacturing, and Systems Engineering Dissertations
Background: Throughout the aging process, people experience changes in functional ability and such changes can happen in physical and mental functions. As a result, older adults develop limitations in their capabilities to perform daily activities. Although many studies have done to identify functional limitations for elderly, many older adults still face negative consequences in daily living conditions due to their functional declines. One of the possible causes may be a lack of feedback or participations of elderly users in the design process. Other reason could be a lack of consideration to identify the needs for a specific task associated with …

Machine Learning Framework For Nonlinear And Interaction Relationships Involving Categorical And Numerical Features, Shirish Mohan Rao
Industrial, Manufacturing, and Systems Engineering Dissertations
Traditionally, physical scientific experiments have been conducted extensively to study and understand the behavior of a process or a system. With the advancement of computing technology in recent years, computer codes and algorithms are used as simulators to replicate behavior of a complex system. Such use of computers to study a system is termed as ‘computer experiments.’ The process involves selecting specific points or runs in the design space in order to maximize information about the system in minimal runs. These computer models are high dimensional and can take a long time to simulate. Metamodels (or surrogate models) built using …
Agent-Based Model Simulation For Police Deployment Decision-Making In Patrol Operations, Yasaman Ghasemi
Agent-Based Model Simulation For Police Deployment Decision-Making In Patrol Operations, Yasaman Ghasemi
Industrial, Manufacturing, and Systems Engineering Dissertations
Police patrolling plays a key role in responding to 911 calls and reducing crimes. The effectiveness of patrol operations heavily depends on the deployment of police officers – e.g., the number of officers assigned to specific policing districts or beats. The complex nature of the policing system – dynamic and stochastic criminal behavior, compounded with limited policing resources, render current (traditional) police operations, which are often managed in a reactive and stationary manner – often makes it very challenging to manage and control. This study develops an agent-based simulation framework to address the dynamically changing environment in police operations and …
Shape-Based Time Series Mining For Process Monitoring And Anomaly Detection, Li Zhang
Shape-Based Time Series Mining For Process Monitoring And Anomaly Detection, Li Zhang
Industrial, Manufacturing, and Systems Engineering Dissertations
Due to the rapid development of computing and sensing technology, Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled monitoring plays a crucial role for people suffering from cardiac problems. It is important to detect the abnormal ECG cycles during the cardiac monitoring for the early treatment. However, most existing methods focused on the full reading of time series, for the cycle-based time series, it is wasting time to read the whole time series while we can find the characteristic patterns instead. Characteristic patterns named shapelets are time series subsequences, which are explainable and discriminative features that can best classify time series. Shapelet-based classification that …
Using Empirical Data To Design And Validate Hybrid Simulation Models Of Human Behavior In Service Operations, Mohammed Farhan
Using Empirical Data To Design And Validate Hybrid Simulation Models Of Human Behavior In Service Operations, Mohammed Farhan
Industrial, Manufacturing, and Systems Engineering Dissertations
The purpose of this research is to examine how a change in a team member's role, team dynamics, and organizational policies impact an individual's motivation to engage in helping behavior, as well as the impact of helping behavior on service system operational performance. To analyze these behavioral dynamics in a dynamic setting, this research integrates empirical human behavioral data into a hybrid discrete-event and agent-based simulation model of service operations in a restaurant. The model was then validated using Metamorphic Testing (MT), an approach that has previously been used for verification of software. Recent research shows that MT can be …
Bidding Enabled Inventory Redistribution In A Retail Network, Hafsa Binte Mohsin
Bidding Enabled Inventory Redistribution In A Retail Network, Hafsa Binte Mohsin
Industrial, Manufacturing, and Systems Engineering Dissertations
This research aspires to develop a systematic approach to minimize the demand and supply gap of products and product expiration in a feasible way. Inventory replenishment policy, uncertain customer demand, and forecast inaccuracy are some of the reasons that create imbalanced stocks in the outlets. Lateral transshipment or redistribution, donation, and promotion have been discussed in the existing literature separately as ways to balance and utilize inventory. Redistribution needs to account for extra transportation costs due to stock transfer. Existing literature on redistribution fails to address products’ physical attributes, valuation of products as a function of time, and constraint on …
Teenage Cyclists’ Perception Towards Autonomous Vehicles And Its Associated Traffic Infrastructures, Obiageli Lawrentia Ngwu
Teenage Cyclists’ Perception Towards Autonomous Vehicles And Its Associated Traffic Infrastructures, Obiageli Lawrentia Ngwu
Industrial, Manufacturing, and Systems Engineering Dissertations
Background: Cycling is a cost-effective means of transportation. Many teenagers cycle to go to schools and ride in neighborhoods. Cyclists are more vulnerable to injuries and fatalities than motor vehicle drivers. With the implementation of autonomous vehicles (AVs), interactions between AVs and road-users are expected to be safer. It is most likely that current young people will be the ones to use these vehicles and interact with them. However, very few past studies have focused on cyclist-AV interaction, with little to no attention toward the teenage cyclist population. Objectives: This study is aimed at examining teenage cyclists’ perceptions of AVs …
