The use of local freight data in transportation planning is essential to ensure accuracy in the travel demand modeling process. However, unlike passenger transportation, where extensive research work has been performed into the collection and use of household travel... by Karen | Feb 1, 2010 | Center & Office Research, Dr. Gregory A.

The ability to plan and forecast freight demand to support transportation infrastructure investment decisions is limited by the lack of available data at a level of detail that is meaningful to the transportation planner. This paper develops an initial methodology... by Karen | Jan 1, 2010 | ATN Research, Dr. Gregory A. Harris, P.E., Lisa S. Blanchard, Nicholas Loyd, Publication
This paper discusses the integration of A3 Thinking as an innovative academic communication standard in industrial engineering. The paper begins by providing an overview comparison of A3 Thinking, a critical component in Toyota’s PDCA management system, and... by Karen | Jan 1, 2010 | Center & Office Research, Dr. Bernard Schroer, Dr. Gregory A.

This paper presents a modular approach for rapidly developing simulation models that can analyze and evaluate existing port operations, changes and expansions. Simulation is an inexpensive insurance against costly mistakes involving capital expenditures, but many... by Karen | Dec 1, 2009 | Center & Office Research, Dr. Bernard Schroer, Dr. Gregory A.

This research built upon previous work on the development of tools to bridge the gaps in the analysis and understanding of the relationships between economic growth and transportation infrastructure in Alabama. The tasks performed under this contract included:... by Karen | Oct 1, 2009 | Center & Office Research, Dr. Gregory A. Harris, P.E., Dr. Michael D.
