The contribution of teleworking to travel demand management
Continuously increasing demand for travel is contributing to increasing congestion oil roads, especially within the urban settings. The cost of congestion is projected to rise if left unchallenged. Transport planners havee limited options to tackle this situation. While exploring the various …

Demand Management in Evacuation: Models, Algorithms, and Applications
Evacuation planning is an important disaster management tool. A large-scale evacuation of a region by automobile is a difficult task, especially as demand is often greater than supply. This is made more difficult as the imbalance of supply and demand actually reduces supply due to congestion. …

Linking travel demand management and emission estimation tools
… quality planning processes. Inclusion of Travel Demand Management (TDM) measures into a State Implementation Plan (SIP) or a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) requires the evaluation of these measures for emission impacts. Traditional method of analysis of a TDM measure using TDM software …

A decision support system for sugarcane irrigation supply and demand management
… modelling to better understand water supply and demand management on a commercial sugarcane farm. Due to the complex nature of water stress on sugarcane, non-linearities occur in the model. A piecewise linear approximation is used to handle the non-linearity in the water allocation model and is …
