We propose an evaluation approach for a novel travel demand management strategy known as the downtown space reservation system (DSRS). This approach takes into account three perspectives, i.e., transportation service provider’s, the user’s, and the community’s and is based on network-Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) where the perspectives are inter-related through intermediate inputs/outputs. Tw...

In the data envelopment analysis (DEA) literature, linear fractional non-cooperative network DEA models for two-stage network structures are often transformed into parametric linear models. The transformed parametric linear models are then solved by computing a series of linear models when the parameter is varied. For example, Wu, Zhu, Ji, Chu and Liang (2016) provide a linear fractional non-co...

The paper deals with Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). We believe that solving for the DEA efficiency measure, simultaneously with neural network model, provides a promising rich approach to optimal solution. In this paper, a new neural network model is used to estimate the inefficiency of DMUs in large datasets.

the present study is an attempt towards remodeling cost, revenue and profit relationship within the network process. the previous models of data envelopment analysis (dea) have been too general in their scope and focused on the input and the output within a black box system, therefore they have not been able to measure various phases simultaneously within a network system. by using these models...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is an eciency measurement tool for evaluation of similar Decision Making Units (DMUs). In DEA, weights are assigned to inputs and outputs and the absolute eciency score is obtained by the ratio of weighted sum of outputs to weighted sum of inputs. In traditional DEA models, this measure is also equivalent with relative eciency score which evaluates DMUs in compar...

this paper deals with the problem of optimizing two-stage structure decision making units (dmus) where the activity and the performance of two-stage dmu in one period effect on its efficiency in the next period. to evaluate such systems the effect of activities in one period on ones in the next term must be considered. to do so, we propose a dynamic dea approach to measure the performance of su...

We propose a dynamic DEA model involving network structure in each period within the framework of a slacks-based measure approach. We have previously published the network SBM (NSBM) and the dynamic SBM (DSBM) models separately. Hence, this article is a composite of these two models. Vertically, we deal with multiple divisions connected by links of network structure within each period and, hori...

In this paper we present a recurrent neural network model to recognize efficient Decision Making Units(DMUs) in Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA). The proposed neural network model is derived from an unconstrained minimization problem. In theoretical aspect, it is shown that the proposed neural network is stable in the sense of lyapunov and globally convergent. The proposed model has a single-laye...
