Abstract:
This paper looks at three examples that demonstrate how smart operations can reduce the uncertainty to reliably contribute to sustained growth in operations effectiveness. These relate to: demand/capability change; critical asset management; and, adaptive collaboration across processing/production areas and sites. While many heavy process industry organisations try to measure and manage the processing/production facilities using the operations effectiveness phrase, many have encountered difficulty in delivering the desired business improvement—whether it is achieving, sustaining, evolving or rolling out. This paper proposes a re-think based on successes in several industries. This paper defines what working smarter really means through making earlier and better decisions that affect the current performance of the processing/production facility and the supply chains. These decisions are often balancing naturally conflicting demands, both between facility and supply chain and between present and future events.

Abstract:
This paper presents fleet utilization management processes for highway operations equipment based on actual tracked and reported usage data obtained from transportation agencies. The objective is to minimize total fleet utilization costs, including operational, purchase, and relocation expenses that yield the optimal utilization values and fleet composition of specific equipment types within each region in a year. The framework includes utilization prediction and optimization models, rather than relying on pre-determined utilization thresholds in existing strategies, to avoid under-utilization, over-utilization, or both. The prediction models are structured using equipment explanatory variables with their significant contributing factors, for example, annual equipment usage, annual fuel cost, downtime hours, age, and class code, to predict operational costs. The optimization model is formulated as a set of mathematical formulations, with embedded predictive models, that minimizes the total costs of (i) keeping an asset in-service using predictive annual operational cost functions, (ii) purchasing new assets in a region in the following year, and (iii) relocating assets by capturing the distance between regions. The costs include equipment purchase, operation, maintenance, and transportation expenses. The proposed framework captures the remedial actions to balance under-/over-utilized assets in the fleet in a cost-efficient manner. The proposed methodology is applied to utilization management of a set of operations equipment, and the findings of the dump trucks are presented. Several scenarios are designed to analyze the sensitivity of the costs to various decisions and parameters. The numerical experiments reveal that the proposed framework can facilitate the utilization prediction and management of highway operations equipment and save up to 16.6% in operational costs considering different demand scenarios.

Abstract:
Abstract The research aims to characterise the optimisation of a technological process depending on the main time parameters for production. The optimisation does not require to correct technical parameters of a system, but rather the organisational and managerial factors of the technological process. The workload is taken as an evaluation criterion, which factors in the probability distribution of time characteristics of computer process operations. Time characteristics that represent the performance of an operation influence the workloads of an operator and equipment, determining the productivity of the technological process. Analytical models were developed for the operational control of a production line efficiency considering the probability–statistical parameters pertaining to the performance of operations and technological equipment peculiarities. The article presents research results, which characterise the dependence of a production line efficiency on the type of equipment, and the duration of preparatory and final operations considering their probability. Under an optimal workload of the operator, the duration of the complete program changes linearly, regardless of the time required for the performance of operations by a computer without the involvement of the operator, and depending on the type of equipment. A managerial decision can be optimal under the condition that the factor of technological process efficiency (K_TP) tends to max. The developed method of analytical determination can be used to calculate the workload of both an operator and technological equipment. The calculations of the duration of a production line operation resulted in the methodology for the consideration of probability characteristics pertaining to the time distribution of the period required to perform operations, which influences the unequal efficiency of the production line. The probabilistic character of time distribution related to intervals of performed operations serves as a parameter in the management of technological process optimisation, which can be achieved using simulators of technological processes optimised in terms of their efficiency.

Abstract:
Purpose This paper is a continuing exploration into facilities management (FM) strategy through the arrangement of its decision choices. The purpose of this paper is to identify the existence of FM operation strategy and to add empirical evidence to this subject to the field of FM and property management. Its main objectives are to gain insights into the arrangement of the FM strategic choices in operation and its relationship with business strategy. Design/methodology/approach The study investigated the configurations of operational approaches and activities that should reflect strategic decisions. The investigation was undertaken through a study of four reputed shopping malls located in Bangkok. The relevant data were collected through semi-structured interviews with the key FM persons of each case study, plus archival document searches, and observations of operational processes. Subsequently, the data were examined in a cross-case analysis to identify the key patterns of relationships between the FM operational arrangements and the business strategy of the mall. Findings This study found that the functional scheme of FM adopted in operations was deliberately related to the needs of business strategy and the operations of the given shopping mall. A range of strategic choices for FM operations was also found. Certain choices are shared among the case studies, while their arrangements varied according to the particular business strategy and context. Research limitations/implications The number of case studies was rather limited, while the results were predominantly involved with a single type of facility. Originality/value The study identified the pattern of strategic choices entailed in the FM operations in shopping malls. The findings add to the understanding on FM strategy by widening the perspectives about the strategic choices of FM operations and how they are connected with the business strategy and operation model of retail estate. It adds empirical evidence and case studies regarding FM operations and its strategic features.

Abstract:
The operations management (OM) community is paying increasing attention to the analysis of nonprofit operations. However, what is it about this type of operation that makes it particularly interesting to OM scholars? We address this question by studying the objectives, actors, and main activities of nonprofit operations and the most common challenges they face. In addition, we suggest tactical and operational strategies to address these challenges by considering works in the for-profit sector and in different applied areas. The ultimate goal of this paper is to inspire and stimulate OM researchers to develop significant theoretical and empirical models in this novel stream of literature.

Abstract:
Major objectives of farm mechanization are to maximize production at minimum risks and optimum cost of equipment usage by good management planning and operation of machines to carry out sequence crop production operations for the whole farming system. Hence this study was needed at Sunti Golden Sugar Company, Nigeria to determine cost of equipment use and select appropriate tractor power and machinery for the crop cultivation, crop establishment, weed control, cane harvesting and transporting to the store for post-harvest processing for future target of 4,770 ha of sugar cane farm. Based on agricultural farm size, field operational planning factors like soil, weather/environmental conditions, each implement matched with appropriate tractor size was calculated. Costs of equipment use, ownership and operational costs for implements and tractors were also calculated. A well-drawn cropping field operations calendar was very important for crop and operational sequencing was recommended and was put in-place since the operations overlaps with multi-periods. As part of the recommendation, during the planned equipment downtime, major repairs and maintenance were to be carried out before critical field operation's period to improve pre-field and in-field efficiency for effective equipment and field operational planning and management. Determined are the values of each implement field capacity within allotted time available, actual number of implement/tractor power required, fuel and oil consumption per unit time for the sugar cane cultivation, harvesting and transporting operations at the sugar cane farm. Also appropriate earth-moving and earthwork equipment for road, irrigation and drainage structural works were also selected.

Abstract:
Abstract The framing into demand driven operations is because of the operations research modelling approach. The modelling approach requires continuous regressors and an independent response factor. The demand as an operating factor is considered as independent response factor in relation to the continuous regressors. The method validation is made along several longitudinal case studies to cover local, global and international industrial operations. The examined operational scope is from continuous operations to one-off production. Concerning scheduling, these examined demand driven, industrial operations are considered as open and dynamic, flow shop or job-shop operations. The examined managerial scope is from local work management to global industrial operations management. The theoretical framework of this study is based on operations management, productivity and controllability engineering. The strategical target is to improve productivity. The operational target setting is based on linear goal programming, streamlined demand driven material flow and specified operating factors according to this study, Forrester effect diagnostics and replenishment models. The engineering of strategical target into exact operational schedule as a task target is hard to accomplish, because of the combinatorial dynamic job-shop problem. The purpose of this study is to simplify this managerial task. These study operating factors are the heart in constructing a Decision Support System for the examined operations, alongside the method’s product flow diagnostics. This operations management method consists of the operating factors, specified in this study and these specified factors’ use in constructing a Decision Support System, by engineering current operations management system. The construct consist two parts. Firstly, the exact operational target alignment along this method diagnostics and secondly, the control mechanism according to this operational linear target. The expected managerial benefit is in productivity improvement. The practical benefits are in savings in logistics costs and improvement in customer service, due to shorten lead time and exacting delivery.

Abstract:
Advancing the state of disaster operations planning has significant implications given the devastating impress of disasters. Operations management techniques have in the past been shown to advance disaster-planning efforts; in particular, much progress can be noted in its application in the advancement of short-term recovery operations such as humanitarian logistics. However, limited emphasis has been placed on the long-term development scope of disaster operations. This dissertation argues the need for a fundamental shift in the motivation of archetypal disaster planning models, from disaster planning modeled around the emergency of the disaster event, to that of the sustainability of the community. Consequently, the purpose of this study is to address three key issues in regard to sustainability in disaster operations and planning. The first study of this dissertation (Chapter 3) focuses on describing disaster operations management and planning in its current state, examining features unique to sustainability in this context, and finally developing a planning framework that advances community sustainability in the face of disasters. This framework is applied in the succeeding quantitative studies (Chapter 4 and Chapter 5). The second study in this dissertation (Chapter 4) extends the sustainable planning framework offered in Chapter 3, using mathematical models. In particular, the modeling contributions include the consideration of multiple possible disaster events of single disaster type expected in a longer-term decision horizon, under integrated disaster management planning that is geared towards sustainability. These models are assessed using a mono-hazard scenario generator. A pedagogical example based on Portsmouth, Virginia, is offered. The last study in this dissertation (Chapter 5) extends the application of quantitative models to account for the 'multi-hazards' paradigm. While Chapter 4 considered multi-event analysis, the study was limited to a mono-hazard nature (the consideration of only one type of hazard source). This study extends analytical models from mono-hazard to multi-hazard, the consideration of a range of likely hazards for a given community. This analysis is made more complex because of the dependencies inherent in multiple hazards, projects, and assets. A pedagogical example based on Mombasa, Kenya, is offered.

Abstract:
This dissertation addresses two topics in the domain of operations management. First we study a single utility’s optimal policies under the Renewable Portfolio Standard, which requires it to supply a certain percentage of its energy from renewable resources. The utility demonstrates its compliance by holding a sufficient amount of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) at the end of each year. The utility’s problem is formulated as a stochastic dynamic program. The problem of determining the optimal purchasing policies under stochastic demand is examined when two energy options, renewable or regular, are available, with different prices. Meanwhile, the utility can buy or sell RECs in any period before the end of the horizon in an outside REC market. Both the electricity prices and REC prices are stochastic. We find that the optimal trading policy in the REC market is a target interval policy. Sufficient conditions are obtained to show when it is optimal to purchase only one kind of renewable energy and regular energy, and others to show when it is optimal to purchase both of them. Explicit formulas are derived for the optimal purchasing quantities in each case. In the second essay, we examine the interaction between a buyer (Original Equipment Manufacturer, OEM) and his supplier during new product development. A “white box” relationship is assumed: the OEM designs the specification of the product and outsources the production to his supplier. The supplier may suggest potential specification problems. Our research is motivated by the fact that the supplier may detect potential specification problems, and one cannot take for granted that the supplier would inform the OEM. We solve an optimization problem from the perspective of the OEM. We first prove that it is strictly better for the OEM to design the contract so that the supplier will inform the OEM should she detect any flaws. Then we characterize the optimal solutions for the OEM. We also perform some sensitivity analysis at the end.

Abstract:
This thesis describes the development of a Knowledge Management (KM) Assessment tool for the Operational level of the organisation. Its main focus is to help organisations to identify the KM activities and mechanisms that they could improve in order to improve their operational efficiency. Current KM literature is lacking in guiding organisations in what they need to do in order to implement and formalise KM in their operations with a view to improving operational efficiency. Therefore the aim of this thesis is to fill this gap in the literature and also to influence the manner in which KM is practiced. The research project has three distinct stages: the model development, modification and testing stages. The model development stage synthesises KM literature and a pilot study in order to develop a conceptual model of the KM assessment tool. The second stage of the research project describes the application of the tool in three organisations and details the modifications that were made as a result. Finally, the third stage tests the final version of the KM Assessment tool using four case organisations. The KM Assessment tool presented in this thesis is not a prescriptive KM solution; it emphasises the need to approach KM from a process and task specific perspective. Put another way, KM improvements should be implemented to reflect the processes and task charactaristics of each individual organisation. However, the thesis presents a method of evaluation of such that is unform across organisational types

Abstract:
There are three topics in operations management presented in this dissertation. Each topic deals with a specific issue encountered by managers from various organizations. In the context of non-profit operations, we study a two-customer sequential resource allocation problem whose objective function has a max-min form. For finite discrete demand distribution, we give a sufficient and necessary condition under which the optimal solution has monotonicity property. However, this property never holds with unbounded discrete distributions. Then, we look at a service system with two servers serving arriving single class jobs. Servers care about fairness, and they can endogenously choose capacities in response to the routing policy. We focus on four commonly seen policies and examine the two-server game where the servers' objective functions have a term that reflects fairness. Theoretical results concerning the existence and uniqueness of the Nash equilibrium are proved for some policies. Numerical studies also provide insights on servers' off-equilibrium behaviours and the system efficiency under different policies. Finally, suppose that a firm has heterogeneous servers who provide service with different quality levels, and that there exists a learning curve of the servers so that the quality can be improved by accumulating experience in serving customers. As customers decide their service procurement based on the quality and system congestion, what pricing scheme should the firm adopt to achieve optimal revenue in the long run? We compare a traditional pricing scheme with a proposed one, and theoretically establish the superiority of the proposed pricing scheme. Based on both theoretical and numerical evidence, we characterize the sensitivity of some parameters with respect to the comparison.

Abstract:
This thesis comprises three independent essays in operations management. The first essay explores a specific issue encountered by mobile gaming companies. The remaining two essays address the contracting problem in a supply chain setting. In the first essay, we study the phenomena of game companies offering to pay users in "virtual" benefits to take actions in-game that earn the game company revenue from third parties. Examples of such "incentivized actions" include paying users in "gold coins" to watch video advertising and speeding in-game progression in exchange for filling out a survey etc. We develop a dynamic optimization model that looks at the costs and benefits of offering incentivized actions to users as they progress in their engagement with the game. We find sufficient conditions for the optimality of a threshold strategy of offering incentivized actions to low-engagement users and then removing incentivized action to encourage real-money purchases once a player is sufficiently engaged. Our model also provides insights into what types of games can most benefit from offering incentivized actions. In the second essay, we propose what we call a generalized price-only contract, which is a dynamic generalization of the simple wholesale price-only contract. We derive some interesting properties of this contract and relate them to well-known issues such as double marginalization, relative power in a supply chain due to Stackelberg leadership, contract structure and commitment issues. In the third essay, we consider a supplier selling to a retailer with private inventory information over multiple periods. We focus on dynamic short-term contracts, where contracting takes place in every period. At the beginning of each period, with inventory or backlog kept privately by the retailer, the supplier offers a one-period contract and the retailer decides his order quantity in anticipation of uncertain customer demand. We cast the problem as a dynamic adverse-selection problem with Markovian dynamics. We show that the optimal short-term contract has a threshold structure, with possibly multiple thresholds. In certain cost regimes, the optimal contract entails a base-stock policy yet induces partial participation.

Abstract:
This dissertation addresses three topics in the domain of operations management. First we study the problem of profit allocation in a supply chain using a bargaining approach. We present a novel framework for the analysis of this problem. The application of our framework results in a prescription for the required profit allocations. We prove that in a setting where all supply chain agents can communicate, possibly coordinating their actions, the allocation prescribed by our bargaining framework coincides with the Shapley value of a cooperative game associated with the setting. Next, we study revenue management in the presence of strategic consumers, who face some uncertainty regarding the product valuation. We show, contradictory to the main stream of the literature regarding strategic consumers, that under certain circumstances, the retailer may prefer facing strategic consumers rather than myopic ones. Finally, we study the issue of cross-dock operations management at a shift-level. We target the main gap identified in the literature for this issue, and present a holistic framework for the allocation of cross-dock resources to processing of containers and freight. We show, using simulated data that our approach outperforms current practices.

Abstract:
In this dissertation, I discuss three problems within service operations management: identifying situational attributes that lead to positive customer outcomes under a Twitter-based customer service framework; the conditions for finite delay of first-in-first-out multiserver systems when confronted with integral loads; and the relative performance of different bargaining mechanisms for a seller of finite perishable inventory, with a further investigation of the consequences of modeling private information. First, we consider a large telecommunications company that provides customer support over Twitter. Using 10 months of service data, we apply model selection techniques to develop an ordinal logistic regression model assessing the probability that a given customer service interaction will result in a positive, neutral or negative resolution as determined by the customer’s sentiment expression. Our model incorporates customer, service and network explanatory attributes. We find that customers are less likely to experience a positive final sentiment as time passes, that is, those cases later in the 10 month period studied are less likely to experience positive resolution. This suggests that there is a drop-off in the likelihood of more positive resolution, but that this effect levels off. This finding may indicate a shift by the customer service team to harder to resolve cases as the program matures. Next, we consider conditions for finite expected delay in FIFO multiserver queues with integral loads. Scheller-Wolf and Vesilo (2006) find necessary and sufficient conditions for a finite rth moment of expected delay in a FIFO multiserver queue, assuming a non-integral load and a service time distribution belonging to class L1B . Removing the non-integral load assumption results in a gap between the identified necessary and sufficient conditions, as discussed by Foss (2009). We decrease the size of this gap through the application of domain of attraction results. Specifically, we find a stricter necessary condition for a GI/GI/K-server system with integral p that is more restrictive than those in the literature. Finally, we consider the problem of a seller with a finite supply of perishable inventory. We consider four price setting mechanisms: seller posted price, buyer posted price, split-the-difference, and the neutral bargaining solution. We rank the value of these different mechanisms analytically and numerically in the context of the symmetric uniform trading problem from the perspective of the seller. While the ordering of the mechanisms remains the same as compared to the infinite horizon case studied in the literature, we use a model analogous to the infinite horizon case to find numerically that the relative value of the split-the-difference mechanism increases when the seller ultimately faces a dead- line to complete the sales. The split-the-difference mechanism becomes more valuable as the ratio of available inventory to time remaining increases because it is more likely to result in a sale than the seller posted price mechanism. In general, modeling private information is more challenging for the split-the-difference and neutral bargaining solution mechanisms than for the two posted price mechanisms. To assess the importance of this added complication, we quantify the effect of modeling private information when computing the seller’s opportunity cost and find that while private information makes only a small difference in the neutral bargaining solution case, this modeling choice makes a large difference in the split-the-difference case when the seller is weak.

Abstract:
Scour is an imminent threat for jack-up operations in shallow waters with sandy seabed conditions, strong tidal currents and/or a harsh wave climate, such as the North Sea. Jack-up operations in scour-sensitive areas require jack-up operators to evaluate the risk of scour and to adapt a scour management strategy in order to safeguard against foundation failure. Jack-up deployments are characteristically short term operations. This can be in the range of one day (construction project jack-ups) to several months (drilling units). Often, the strategy is to monitor scour and take remedial measures if and when required. An operational scour forecast and hindcast system was developed in order to assist jack-up operators with their management of scour. The system is based on automated importing and processing of metocean data (water levels, waves and currents) from operational metocean models or measurement stations and calculating forecasts for the temporal scour development with semi-empirical relations, derived from physical model tests for various types of foundations. During an operation, the results provide the basis for a periodic assessment whether, how much and where scour protection is required and when surveys should be performed. After an operation, the hindcast results serve as calibration for the scour prediction model and as evaluation of the scour management strategy. This paper presents two case studies for which the system was applied in the southern North Sea. In the first case study, the system was used to forecast scour around unprotected spudcans. A few weeks into the drilling operation, the operator decided to apply scour protection based on the warning that the predicted scour depth was reaching a critical value. A field survey performed after the scour protection installation confirmed that the predicted scour depth had been in line with the measured scour depth. The second case study comprised a drilling operation before which scour protection had been installed. The main objective of the system was to predict the stability of the scour protection and provide recommendations for scour protection maintenance and scheduling of scour inspection surveys. The field survey performed after the main storm event revealed that the predicted scour depth had been overestimated. A hindcast was performed to calibrate the scour model for future operations. It was concluded that the improved scour forecast system is an important milestone for scour management and contributes to improved safety in future jack-up operations.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Traditionally, a field’s wax management and operating philosophy have been developed by conducting a rigorous Flow Assurance (FA) study. Optimization at field level warrants the study to be updated from time to time to reflect the actual field performance. This accounts for overall field performance but does not incorporate variations due to operational changes. Rather, the operating philosophy is based on representative scenarios where conservative measures are often used to safeguard operations. With the increasing number of waxy crude oil pipelines within company that demands immediate attention, an online prediction/monitoring tool that quickly adapts to operational changes is one important enabler, not only to optimize operations and address the huge Operating Expenses (OPEX), but also to address remote/unmanned operation’s requirement especially for subsea operation. Unfortunately, to date, such a tool is not commercially available or deployed widely. To address this gap, this paper aims to present the Online Wax Smart Meter development concept and to showcase the performance of an online wax monitoring tool which enables fast and optimum wax management.

Abstract:
During drilling and well intervention (DWI) operations today operating limits are normally given as limiting wave height, and sometimes wave periods. The resulting diagrams are often not directly comparable with weather information received on the rig and the final decisions are often based on subjective assessment of wave height and period. The paper will present how BP, on the newly developed Skarv field in the Norwegian Sea, through thorough planning in the engineering phase has implemented a system where operating limits are specified based on directly measurable parameters such as rig heave and upper and lower flexjoint angles. How weather forecasting can be translated to give the rig crew direct forecasting of the limiting vessel or riser responses (e.g. flexjoint angles or heave), will also be presented. It will be shown how this allows for improved operational planning and support from onshore. Over the last years requirements for oil companies to be able to document the structural integrity of their subsea assets, including wells, has increased. On the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) there has been a particular focus on fatigue loading in the wellhead structure, including the upper sections of casing and conductor, due to loads induced by the riser and BOP during DWI operations. There have been cases where the design fatigue life of a wellhead system limits the number of days one can perform operations with a rig on a given well. This in term affects future oil recovery rates as the well fatigue life may not be sufficient to allow for side step drilling or intervention work required to maintain an optimal production from the well. The paper continues to present how BP on the Skarv field, stores and utilizes the measured lower flexjoint response to track and document well integrity. It will be demonstrated how the return on investment of a drilled well can be improved by documenting actual fatigue loading from each operation on a well compared to conservative design calculations. BP has addressed the above issues in a way that is likely to set a new standard for drilling and intervention operations in the North Sea in the future. 4Subsea AS has provided the engineering and instrumentation services that formed the basis for this paper.

Abstract:
This project was asked how to measure whether good operating practices; such as proven prevention, detection, repair, and mitigation actions are the key management decisions which contribute to safe gas and oil pipeline operations. Integrity assessment inspections such as in-line inspection (ILI) or direct assessment (DA), are a reliable integrity check on the effectiveness of these practices at a point in time. Integrity assessment inspections, (Pressure Test, Direct Assessment or In-Line Inspection), support the effectiveness of these operational decisions. System reliability is improved by these engineering activities. The continuous use of successful operating procedures (as proven practices such as ASME B31.8S) is in reality the foundation to provide a safe pipeline and reliable operations. These good and proven practices are also written into the company's standard operating practices (SOPs), to ensure they are routinely reviewed, updated and followed in day to day activities. Data was volunteered by five liquid and gas pipelines so that multiple ILI inspection runs could be evaluated. The results confirm the technical validity of using the inspection intervals approach in ASME B31.8S.

Abstract:
The Family Planning Operations Research and Training Program of the Philippines was established in 1992 to strengthen the nation's capacity to carry out and utilize operations research (OR) for program planning and management. It has sponsored training workshops and funded OR studies on issues of priority to both national and local program managers. The program’s recent activities, culminated in the National Research Utilization Conference held in September 1994, were designed to assist in the institutionalization processes. However, more needs to be done to determine how these processes will actually work in specific national and local government agencies and academic and research institutions, and how to support and sustain the processes that do work. The proposed study is intended to form a basis for determining ways to promote and sustain OR in the Philippines. As stated in this report, the study aims to review the experience of recent research activities with attention to the institutionalization process and identify specific issues to be addressed and concrete steps to be taken in the process both at the national and local levels.

Abstract:
For over a decade, segment-based probe data has been extensively used by transportation stakeholders for monitoring mobility on Indiana roadways. However, enhanced probe data from connected vehicles includes a richer dataset that can provide more detailed real-time and after-action reviews. This enhanced data includes detailed vehicle trajectories, at 3s resolution, and “event data.” This event data is near real-time and includes hard-braking events, hard-acceleration events, weather-related data, including wiper activations and some seat belt usage data. This project developed a set of methodologies and resulting visualizations that enables the use of emerging connected vehicle data in operational decision-making on work zone management and winter operations activities. Each month approximately 13 billion connected vehicle records are ingested for Indiana. During peak periods, approximately 625,000 records per minute are ingested. Without substantial processing, this large data set is “data-rich, information-poor.” This study developed techniques to rapidly assign relevant data to interstate segments so that visual graphics could be efficiently generated. This provided the ability for both real-time monitoring as well as after action assessment to identify opportunities to improve both work zone operations and winter operation activities. The summaries derived from these datasets have helped promote effective actionable dialog among agencies, contractors, and public safety colleagues towards the overarching goal of improving interstate safety and mobility.
