This paper is interested in a food industrial group which produces large quantities of sugar and distributes it to warehouses and customers. The group should review its distribution policy, in particular, to optimize transportation costs and reduce losses caused by the current organization. In this paper, we propose an integer linear model to optimize the travel of full loaded trucks taking int...

OBJECTIVE To describe the financial burden on TB patients for transportation during treatment, and to evaluate the impacts of the "transportation subsidy initiative on poor TB patients" in rural China for improving poor patients' access to TB treatment. METHODS A Case-cohort of 429 TB patients was investigated through questionnaire interviews in four counties of two provinces in China. Inform...

Transportation is a key to the economy and social welfare; it makes mobility more accessible and enhances the social and economic interactions. On the other hand, the increase of urban population, pollution and other negative impacts has directly affected the existing transportation system in Dar es Salaam City Tanzania. As the transportation challenges cannot be overcome simultaneously due to ...

The low carbon development is the important trend of Chinese urbanism, and the gap between transportation infrastructure resource and travel demand induces to the transportation problems, such as congestion, energy, and safety. There is a missing connection with the Demand-Oriented Planning and Low-Carbon-Oriented Planning, since most of our discussion in the Urban Comprehensive Planning Procee...

Cho, Hyejin. M.S.I.E., Purdue University, May 2016, The Casualty Transportation of Ebola Outbreak in Liberia: A Simulation Study. Major Professors: Seokcheon Lee and Yuehwern Yih. In this paper, we have solved the unique problem of casualty transportation problem under Ebola by developing dynamic policies for vehicle routing to provide practical decision support. The objective of the proposed m...

In this paper an activity-based travel-demand model called AMOS is described. The model system is capable of simulating changes in individual activity and travel behavior that may be brought about by a change in the transportation system. These simulations may then be used to predict the impacts of various transportation policies on regionwide travel characteristics. A rule-based activityschedu...

The need for new transportation paradigms to address the problems associated with widespread dependence on personal automobiles appeared within a few decades of cars becoming available in large numbers, and has been growing ever since. These problems include traffic congestion, noise and air pollution, and the isolation of those without access to private vehicles. Throughout the years, research...

This policy brief examines Medicaid's assurance of medical transportation in the context of medically necessary but non-emergency health care. Reviewing the origins and evolution of the assurance and presenting the results of a 2009 survey of state Medicaid programs, the results of this analysis underscore Medicaid's unique capacity to not only finance medically necessary health care but also t...
