The aim of this paper is to provide a framework improve urban resilience independently the nature disturbances. Recent disasters had significant impact on critical infrastructures providing essential services such as energy, transportation, telecommunication, water and food supply or health care. Indeed, several natural human-made hazards may lead disruptions, most are networked highly interdep...

The hub location problem arises in a variety of domains such as transportation and telecommunication systems. In many real-world situations, hub facilities are subject to disruption. This paper deals with the multiple allocation hub location problem in the presence of facilities failure. To model the problem, a two-stage stochastic formulation is developed. In the proposed model, the number of ...

transportation is by people and for them. it is a process of providing mobility and accessibility for people both as passengers and as consumers of the goods. therefore it is true when today there is an emphasis on the considering transportation the most influential development in every society. regional development cannot properly be happened without enough transportation infrastructure and qu...

This paper reviews and utilizes the current body of telecommuting related research to study the costs and benefits of home-based telecommuting. Monte Carlo simulation methods were utilized to help account for costs or benefits that remain highly variable or have not been well documented by past research. This study illustrates the conditions under which the business case for telecommuting is su...

Location and mobility patterns of individuals are important to environmental planning, societal resilience, public health, and a host of commercial applications. Mining telecommunication traffic and transactions data for such purposes is controversial, in particular raising issues of privacy. However, our hypothesis is that privacy-sensitive uses are possible and often beneficial enough to warr...
