Abstract:
Emergency services play a vital role in society by providing help to affected people and minimizing damage to public and private assets as well as the environment during emergencies. However, these organizations deal with problems of increasing demand uncertainty and resource shortage over time. These problems lead to the creation of many other problems, such as longer response times, lower survivability of victims and patients, and more severe damage to properties and the environment. Acquiring more information about future emergency demand, such as factors affecting this demand, can contribu

<p> In regulated rivers, reservoir operation decisions largely determine downstream river temperature and flow. Computational methods can minimize the risk and uncertainty of making regrettable environmental release decisions and aid operations planning and performance prediction. Mathematical modeling in particular can optimize the timing and magnitude of reservoir release decisions for downstream benefit while accounting for seasonal uncertainty, water storage impact, and competing water demands.

The importance of effective and efficient distribution is evident from its associated costs. Transportation and shipping alone comprise roughly 15 percent of a product's sales in the U.S. Physical distribution is very energy and labor intensive, which have both become relatively more expensive in the last 10-15 years. Not surprisingly, there is a growing demand for automated planning systems that produce economical routes. Other than the cost savings, introduction of these systems enables companies to maintain a higher level of service for their customers, it makes them less dependent on human

In this thesis we discuss three models that are used to estimate vehicle busy probabilities when call service time depends on call location and the serving vehicle. The first model requires an assumption that each vehicle operates independently of the other vehicles. The second model approximately corrects for the independence assumption. The third model also approximately corrects for the independence assumption, however it assumes that all vehicles have an equal busy probability. We evaluate model bias by comparing the estimates from each model with estimates from a simulation model. We use
