Abstract:
In this study a dynamic assignment model is developed which estimates travellers' route and departure time choices and the resulting time varying traffic patterns during the morning peak. The distinctive feature of the model is that it does not restrict the geometry of the network to specific forms. The proposed framework of analysis consists of a travel time model, a demand model and a demand adjustment mechanism. Two travel time models are proposed. The first is based on elementary relationships from traffic flow theory and provides the framework for a macroscopic simulation model which calc

Abstract:
During the last few years the Internet and the WWW have become a major source of information as well as an essential platform for mass media, communication, e-commerce and entertainment. This expansion has led to information overload so finding or searching for relevant information has become more and more challenging. Personalization and recommender systems have been widely used during the past few years to overcome this information overload problem. The main objective of these systems is to learn user interests and then provide a personalized experience to each user accordingly. However; as

Abstract:
This work develops a conceptual framework for modeling and simulating spatial dynamics. The framework links modeling of time variability with spatial variability. With current modeling in environmental analysis taking place at the discrete level (modeling fire, hiker behavior, or watershed run-off), it is the task of this thesis to provide a conceptual framework for integration of these discrete components in a systems like simulation environment for modeling their interactions through time. It explores the utility of the discrete event simulation framework developed by Zeigler (1976, 1984) fo

Abstract:
Successful race teams rely heavily on track testing to search for the ideal suspension setup. As more restrictions are placed on the amount of on-track testing by major racing sanctioning bodies, such as NASCAR, teams have increased their attention to alternate testing methods to augment their track data and better understand the dynamics of their racecars. One popular alternate to track testing is 8-post dynamic shaker rig testing. Eight-post rig testing gives the team a better understanding of the vehicle's dynamics before they arrive at the race track, allowing them to use their limited tra

Abstract:
This dissertation investigates algorithmic techniques for temporal process discovery in many domains. Many different formalisms have been proposed for modeling temporal processes such as motifs, dynamic Bayesian networks and partial orders, but the direct inference of such models from data has been computationally intensive or even intractable. In this work, we propose the mining of frequent episodes as a bridge to inferring more formal models of temporal processes. This enables us to combine the advantages of frequent episode mining, which conducts level wise search over constrained spaces, w

The need for low order models capable of performing damage identification has become apparent in many structural dynamics applications where structural health monitoring and damage prognosis programs are implemented. These programs require that damage identification routines have low computational requirements and be reliable with some quantifiable degree of accuracy.

Abstract:
In the work described herein, simplified ways of modelling the flow in axial compressors were investigated. In general full mathematical simulations of multi-stage axial compressors are not efficient in terms of calculation time and resources needed. Therefore to deal with such problems simplified models are used to represent compressor dynamics. The actuator disc model (ADM) is one of these. It gives the possibility to calculate the pressure rise between the areas upstream and downstream of the blading in the compressor as a function of the axial velocity.

Abstract:
MBA Professional Report<br>The objective of this project is to use analysis and modeling techniques of Systems Dynamics to capture the causal relationships of Middle Eastern groups' terrorist activities against the U.S. based on their ideological drivers, as well as the effect of U.S. policies that create dynamics and affect performance and outcomes. The main focus of this analysis is the terrorist groups' human resources. The hypothesis is that Middle Eastern terrorism against the U.S. is affected by the U.S. level of military presence and/or investment in the Middle Eastern nations. A consid

Abstract:
The need for more inclusive and integrated cities has resulted in a paradigm shift in the South African transport and land use policy environment where transport and land use planning are viewed as a continuum as opposed to isolated planning aspects. Issues such as residential segregation, social exclusion, spatial inefficiencies, inequality, residential informality, marginalisation of the low-income cohort continue to form part of the current planning discourse. While policy acknowledges the need to redress these issues, the urban spatial patterns in South African cities continue to trace the

Abstract:
Die Doktorarbeit untersucht, wie sich Mensch-Umwelt-Interaktionen am Beispiel von Abholzung und Landnutzungsänderungen im Amazonas analysieren und modellieren lassen. Die Abholzung tropischer Wälder bedroht die Stabilität artenreicher Ökosysteme, lokaler Wettergeschehen und des globalen Klimas. Drei Hauptteile erforschen das Thema mit Konzepten der theoretischen Physik und Netzwerktheorie. Der erste Teil gibt einen kritischen Überblick über Modellansätze, die Entscheidungen und menschliches Verhalten beschreiben. Agentenbasierte Netzwerkmodelle ergeben sich als vielversprechender Ansatz um soz
