A behavioral investigation on the determinants of user adoption of electronic toll collection

Preziosi, Michael P. (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-05)

A discrete-continuous approximation model for optimal facility location in disaster response logistics

Ramirez-Rios, Diana G. (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-12)

Disaster preparedness efforts regarding the location and prepositioning of relief supplies are becoming much more crucial than ever before. After major disasters and catastrophic events, local distribution is challenging ...

A joint response model for matched decision makers: exploring decision making mechanism for mutually-selected agents

Zhang, Dapeng (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-05)

Among these methods, econometric modeling does not assume any behavioral rules and allows the collected data to elucidate this matter. However, existing econometric models are not able to behavioral-consistently capture ...

A mathematical model for freight -efficient land use planning

Rivera-Gonzalez, Carlos I. (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-05)

This research develops the first analytical model to support Freight Efficient Land-Use (FELU) design and planning while explicitly considering the effects of land-use decisions on supply chains. To do so a facility location ...

A time-dependent freight tour synthesis model : an integrative freight demand model

Sánchez Díaz, Iván Darío (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-05)

This dissertation proposes a methodology for estimating a demand model that considers the tour-based behavior of trucks, the temporal aspect, and simultaneously incorporates data from secondary data sources (i.e., traffic ...

Analyzing the effects of road pricing on freight carrier behaviors with experimental economics: a comparison of peak-hour delivery and off-hour delivery

Soro, Wonmongo Lacina (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-05)

Defining and evaluating freight performance metrics using GPS data

Richardson, Eric Samuel (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-08)

Many previous efforts have been made to use global positioning system (GPS) data gathered from mobile units to measure freight network performance. While the majority of these previous works were instrumental in establishing ...

Dynamic origin-destination demand estimation using partial dynamic and partial static link traffic counts

Liu, Xiaoquan (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-12)

Econometric techniques for freight demand modeling and management

Campbell, Shama J. (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-05)

Econometric modeling can serve as a useful tool for transportation planning as it is able to estimate a variety of demand metrics which can be used to assess and support the implementation of demand management strategies. ...

Estimating material convergence: flow of donations for Hurricane Katrina

Destro, Lisa (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-05)

Exploration of socioeconomic and spatial attributes affecting freight trip production

Kyle, Sofia Alexandra (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-12)

Demands for goods are expanding with increasingly global markets and growing economies, contributing to increased goods movement, congestion, and pollution. This research uses modeling techniques to explore the underlying ...

Freight demand synthesis with mode choice-a combined estimation procedure

Kalahasthi, Lokesh Kumar (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-08)

This dissertation contributes to the field of Freight Demand Synthesis (FDS) through the development of a mathematical formulation that jointly estimates the models of distribution, modal split, and empty trips; that ...

Freight trip generation models for commercial establishments in Manhattan And Brooklyn

Bastida, Carlos (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2007-08)

Guidelines for the practical application of microscopic traffic simulations to planned special events

Bertoli, Bryan Thomas (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-08)

Increasing the understanding of truck parking behavior in congested urban areas: behavioral data acquisition and analysis with cumulative prospect theory

Marquis, Robyn (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-05)

Congested urban areas are faced with the difficulty of balancing the needs of their residents, businesses, and goods movements, all of which are competing for coveted real estate and curbside. It is increasingly more ...
