Generalized Relay Network Design And Collaborative Dispatching In Truckload Transportation, Amin Ziaeifar Oct 2019

Generalized Relay Network Design And Collaborative Dispatching In Truckload Transportation, Amin Ziaeifar

Operations Research and Engineering Management Theses and Dissertations

The truckload industry faces a serious problem of high driver shortage and turnover rate which is typically around 100\%. Among the major causes of this problem are extended on-the-road times where drivers handle several truckload pickup and deliveries successively; non-regular schedules and get-home rates; and low utilization of drivers dedicated time. These are by-and-large consequences of the driver-to-load dispatching method, which is based on point-to-point dispatching or direct shipment from origin-to-destination, commonly employed in the industry. In this dissertation, we consider an alternative dispatching method that necessitates careful design of an underlying network. In this scheme, a truckload on its …

Space Defense: Creating A 2d Game With 3d Assets Using Unity Game Engine, Jeevan Vase Mar 2019

Space Defense: Creating A 2d Game With 3d Assets Using Unity Game Engine, Jeevan Vase

Computer Science and Software Engineering

The goal of this senior project was to learn and use the skills necessary for one person to make a complete game. The 3D assets that were used were downloaded from the Unity Store. I used Unity Game Engine to create the logic for the game. This document explains the technologies that I used, design choices I made, feedback from player-testing, and work that I want to complete for the project in the future. The final game demo features three levels, a start screen, and a combat system that allows players to gain additional ships to help defend their planet.
