This book was released on 2016 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resource allocation mechanisms have become a major issue for transportation agencies in the United States and around the world. For this reason, transportation agencies are exploring alternatives to modify traditional allocation mechanism due to budgetary challenges generated by the decrease in funding and the increasing cost of preserving and operating transportation systems. Transportation asset management (TAM) practices enable agencies to change the operation and management of transportation infrastructure from the traditional concept of “public-owned” systems to more business-oriented processes. One of the main concerns with the TAM framework and its implementation is the absence of an organized process for cross-asset resource allocations. Additionally, most of the alternative methods for funding allocations focus on maximizing infrastructure performance under budget constraints, but ignore the consideration of equity or fairness. The objective of this study is to develop an innovative methodological framework for cross-asset resource allocations, yielding a data-oriented approach to enhancing infrastructure management. The allocation module is comprised of three resource allocation mechanisms following a top-down approach: a fair division approach based on asset performance, a performance-based multi-objective optimization, and an asset value-based multi-objective optimization. In the first mechanism, the fair division method is used to allocate resources in such a way that all parties involved believe they are receiving a fair share of the available resource based on established utility functions. Then, Collective Utility Functions (CUFs) are employed to perform the resource allocation, which results in total utility and total envy values. These values are used to conduct trade-off analyses of the different allocations based on the CUFs. Under the second procedure, a multi-objective optimization formulation is employed to integrate efficiency and equity, where equity is taken into consideration by using utility and envy concepts, while efficiency is incorporated by maximizing performance. In the third mechanism, an innovative asset value methodology is integrated into the cross-asset resource allocation process, serving as a common comparative measure between assets. To demonstrate the applicability of the proposed methodological framework, a case study was conducted using two asset groups, pavements and bridges, from the roadway network of the Austin District located in Texas. Results from the case study shows that the proposed methodological framework has great potential as a tool to support highway agencies in performing cross-asset resource allocations at the network level.

This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A resource allocation problem (RAP) is encountered in a variety of areas in operations research and management science. It is a combinatorial optimization problem, where a limited amount of resources are to be allocated to certain number of competitive events in order to achieve the most effective allotment of the resources. Although the properties of an RAP can help in characterizing another RAP, different RAPs are usually studied independently without exploring the similarities among them. Therefore, with the aim of exploring the similarities among different types of RAPs, two versions of NSGA-II, a well-known multi-objective evolutionary algorithm, are developed as the solution techniques for two challenging RAPs of quite different natures, namely the university class timetabling problem and the land-use management problem. Finally, the similarities between the problems, as well as between their solution techniques, are analyzed through a number of case studies under multiple objectives and different sets of hard and soft constraints.

This book was released on 2007-05-22 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, edited as a Festschrift in honor of Prof. Milan Zeleny, reflects and emulates his unmistakable legacy: the essential multidimensionality of human and social affairs. There are many levels of this multidimensionality presented in this volume: 1. Multidisciplinarity of contributed papers 2. Multinationality of their authors, extending even to the editors and the publisher and 3. Multicultural and multilevel exposition, ranging from empirical studies to philosophical foundations. Generally, these papers can be divided into three parts: Multiple Criteria Decision Making; Social and Human System Management; and Information, Knowledge and Wisdom Management. It is the recognition of multidimensionality in decision making, economics, optimization, systems, cybernetics and the pursuit of knowledge that bear the stamp of specific Zeleny’s contributions. His life-long dedication to multidimensionality has produced an ultimate multidimensional being, living in academic ‘multiverse’, functioning in a boundaryless world of all continents, cultures and countries. This book is as diverse and as multidimensional as the man and his work.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.
