Myopic search plans
Different strategies can be used to search for a moving object. If the searcher's action at each time unit maximizes his chances of immediate detection, his strategy is said to be myopic. If, however, the searcher seeks to allocate search effort to maximize the probability of detecting the target …

Incorporating equity into transportation plans: the case of pedestrian master plans
… so. This paper reviews fifteen pedestrian master plans to assess the equity considerations and to derive a tripartite framework for systematically incorporating equity into transportation plans: The Three A’s of Equity. This framework consists of Acknowledgement, the recognition of equity as a …

Management of Employee Benefit Plans
… companies, proper management of employee benefit plans is a new and dynamic function. It suggests a scientific approach to the design, modification, and administration of benefit plan programs. The plan manager can no longer make decisions based solely on a comparison with other companies. Today, …

Designing robust railroad blocking plans
… Static stochastic models provide blocking plans that are feasible for all possible realizations of uncertainties in demand and supply. Dynamic stochastic models generate blocking plans that balance flow costs and plan change costs for possible realizations of uncertainties. We adopt …

Plans and planes: United States Army aviation in American colour-coded war plans, 1920-1939
… integrated it into the colour-coded war plans created and maintained between 1920 and 1939. This thesis examines the extent United States Army air power was included in the eight colour-coded war plans created or revised between 1920 and 1939. It demonstrates that the intentional …

Spillover Effects Of Medicare Advantage Plans: Does The Market Penetration Of Plans Affect Hospital Care Quality?
… enrolled in Medicare Advantage (MA) plans increased from 12 percent in 2003 to 28 percent in 2013 out of the about 50 million Medicare enrollees. Although Medicare beneficiaries are increasingly choosing MA plans, little is known about whether and how the market penetration of these …

Scenario planning & its manifestation in plans
… are common, the extent to which it affects plans is not well understood. In this project, I study regional and city-wide plans of Austin and Denver with a view to analyze whether results of scenario planning process (preferred scenarios and ensuing policies and regulations) are incorporated …

Modeling driving decisions with latent plans
… to the initially chosen plan. These latent plans are ignored in the state-of-the-art driving behavior models. Use of these myopic models in the traffic simulators often lead to unrealistic traffic flow characteristics and incorrect representation of congestion. A modeling methodology has …

On learning task-directed motion plans
… experience to allow the agent to generate motion plans very quickly when faced with new but related problems. We first investigate a technique for learning from previous experience by simply remembering past solutions and applying them where relevant to new problems. We find that this approach is …

Family Plans: Market Segmentation with Nonlinear Pricing
… the firm stands to benefit from allowing family plans. In this paper, we use a game-theoretic framework to explore the role of family plans. An obvious way that family plans can be profitable is if it draws in very low-valuation consumers whom the firm would choose not to serve in the absence of …
