One Step at a Time: Improving the Fidelity of Geospatial Agent-Based Models Using Empirical Data
(2021-11-18)
Agent-based modeling is frequently used to produce geospatial models of transportation systems. However, reducing the computational requirements of these models can require a degree of abstraction that can compromise the ...
USING EMPIRICAL DATA TO DESIGN AND VALIDATE HYBRID SIMULATION MODELS OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR IN SERVICE OPERATIONS
(2021-05-05)
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 ...
AGENT-BASED MODEL SIMULATION FOR POLICE DEPLOYMENT DECISION-MAKING IN PATROL OPERATIONS
(2021-08-10)
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 ...
Performance Evaluation of Median U-Turn Intersection for Alleviating Traffic Congestion: An Agent-Based Simulation Study
(2019)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: In recent years, urban mobility has become a big concern for Dhaka city, the capital of Bangladesh, due to severe traffic congestion. At-grade signalized intersections ...
A Systematic Stakeholder-Driven Framework for Empirical Characterization and Parameterization of Human Agents for Agent-Based Modeling of Older Adults' Transportation
(2021-12-01)
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 ...
