Decision aids for tunnel exploration
… Exploration planning is therefore a process of decision making under uncertainty. Einstein et al. (1978) provide a model that applies decision analysis to the tunnel exploration problem. This thesis first describes the model devised by Einstein et al. and provides numerical techniques for …

Updating the "Decision Aids for Tunneling"
The "Decision Aids for Tunneling" (DAT) are a procedure and computer code which can be used to assess uncertainties which are caused by the geologic / geotechnical conditions and from the construction process. In particular the DAT can be used to predict construction costs and time. The computer …

A framework and guidance for design of patient-friendly medical decision aids
<p>ABSTRACT</p> <p>Making medical decisions can sometimes be very complicated because it is affected by factors such as time, information, cost, patients’ health condition, etc. The traditional relationship of doctor to patient has put patients in a passive position of acquiring information and …

Observations of aircraft proximity to weather for use in rerouting decision aids
… in the presence of weather is needed if a decision aid is to be created to assist with enroute replanning. Specifically it is important to know how close pilots are willing to fly to various levels of precipitation. Two surveys and an analytical study were conducted in order to examine …

Development of the resource model for the Decision Aids for Tunneling (DAT)
The Decision Aids for Tunneling (DAT) are a computer based method with which distributions of tunnel construction time and cost as well as required and produced resources can be estimated considering uncertainties in geologic conditions, construction processes and resources. The results of the DAT …

The application of "Decision Aids for Tunneling (DAT)" to the Sucheon tunnel in Korea
The Decision Aids for Tunneling (DAT) allow engineers to simulate tunnel construction considering uncertainties in geology and construction processes for a given tunnel project and to obtain, as a result, distributions of the total cost and duration of tunnel construction. The DAT can be applied to …

Excavation materials handling in the Loetschberg Base Tunnel using Decision Aids for Tunneling (DAT)
A major problem in tunneling is that most decisions must be made under conditions of uncertainty. A significant contribution to help with such decisions was the development of the Decision Aids for Tunneling (DAT). The DAT are based on probabilistic analysis and allow the user to quantify …

A general methodology for designing and developing Intelligent Database Decision Aids, with application to medicine.
… construction of a generic Intelligent Database Decision Aid (IDDA), was developed. A suite of computer-based tools then evolved to facilitate the tailoring of such a system by a domain expert, who may be a naive computer user, for a specific investigation. These tools would thus give total …

A rhetorical analysis of patient decision aids for genetic testing: Scientific knowledge, embodiment, and problematic integration in biomedicine
I consider how patient decision aids—technical communication documents created by biomedical practitioners—work to help people decide whether they should request genetic tests. I sample a genre of non-commercial patient decision aids that I term gateway documents developed by representatives of …

Integration of automated decision aids with a prototype air traffic control interface in support of time-based surface operations
… operations. Two versions featured automated decision aids based on a near to mid-term NextGen equipage assumption and a third served as a baseline with no automated decision aid. The two automated decision aids filled fundamentally different functions within the overall system, with a …

An Examination of Decision Aid Reliance in a Dynamic Environment
Computerized decision aids are powerful tools to assist with decision-making. Decision models are designed to incorporate and analyze available data in order to present a recommended solution to a problem. Business decision makers, including accountants, have much to gain from integrating decision …
