Movements and Habitats of Brood-Rearing Wood Ducks On A Prairie River
… habitat, while the river served primarily as a travel route between oxbows. The lentic oxbow waters contain abundant emergent and submergent vegetation and support abundant invertebrate populations, thereby meeting brood requirements for food and cover.

Optimizing High Volume Traffic Surges using Discrete Event Simulation
… factor events that impinge upon orderly highway travel without immobilizing the travel route. The objective of this discrete-event simulation is the application of optimization techniques to create models with a variety of outcome reliabilities. For this study, evacuation of a large number of …

A data-driven approach to mitigate risk in global food supply chains
… We find that both geographical features (e.g., travel route, country of origin and transnational paths) and network features (e.g., number of partners, weight dispersion and diversity of the product portfolio) are significant and predictive of suspicious behavior. These outcomes can inform …

Wood Duck Brood Movements, Habitat Use, and Survival Rates on Two Prairie Rivers in South Dakota
… areas. Broods were highly mobile, in terms of travel distances (medians – 3.45 -6.65 km for each year and study area) and frequency of movements, in comparison with most wood duck brood studies. Movement was associated with changes in water conditions rather than movement at a particular age. …

Exploring Personalized Route Recommendation Based on Travel Behaviors of Historical GPS Trajectories
… navigation applications and services optimize routes based on either distance or time, disregarding drivers’ preferences when suggesting routes. Various unknown circumstances may affect users’ travel behaviors between two locations on the road network, hence it is complicated to provide …

DNA-based hair sampling to identify road crossings and estimate population size of black bears in Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, Virginia
The planned widening of U.S. Highway 17 along the east boundary of Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge (GDSNWR) and a lack of knowledge about the refuge's bear population created the need to identify potential sites for wildlife crossings and estimate the size of the refuge's bear …

Time Dynamic Label-Constrained Shortest Path Problems with Application to TRANSIMS: A Transportation Planning System
… Simulation System) is part of a multi-track Travel Model Improvement Program sponsored by the U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The main objective of this thesis is to enhance and implement a principal module in TRANSIMS, called the Route …

Investigating the feasibility and logistics of decentralized urine treatment for resource recovery
… minimum cost, minimum GHG emissions and shortest travel distance was not possible. From a financial perspective, increased decentralization was not appealing, meaning the use of one RRF was the most favourable scenario. Weight limitations of the truck were found to influence the travel route …
