In the architectural, engineering and construction industry there is a growing awareness that the effective design of sustainable buildings results from an accurate optimization process of all the variables that are involved and interrelated in meeting the various sustainability goals in the field of energy, indoor environmental quality, water management, and sustainable materials [1][2]. For that reason, current frameworks for the building design process rely on a high degree of…
developed from unmarried path operations in small to medium length towns to excessive ability structures in big city agglomerations. Improvement in ability usage and working costs have come from incremental modifications in bus forestall places, scheduling, direction operations, course making plans, fleet management, unique infrastructure designs, and institutional systems. This indicates viable potential improvement because of incremental modifications in numerous aspects. GIS based selection…
outcomes in a Mathematical Model using different linear solutions .Linear Programming is a special case of Mathematical Optimization .Linear programming can be applied to a wide variety of fields of study, and has proved useful in planning, routing, scheduling, assignment, and design, such as in transportation or manufacturing industries. The method of Linear Programming was originally developed by American mathematicians between 1945 and 1955 to solve problems arising in economic planning ad…
1.1 Introduction This chapter will briefly discuss the background of Software Defined Networking (SDN) and its use in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). It will also state the Problem Definition, the Aims & Objectives of this project, and the Methodology used to achieve those objectives. In the end, it will present an overview of the dissertation’s layout. 1.2 Background The Internet has made an enormous impact on the world of communications. It has interconnected billions of networking devices…
In looking back, from the original patent issued on the tension rod mechanism in the early 1990’s through 1996, it could be argued that the company was resting on its laurels. Functional silos plagued this somewhat small corporation which crippled information flow and visibility. The senior management team were tenured sales folks who were customer facing and only made an appearance when we missed a shipment. The only numbers that were being tracked where dollars shipped and daily attendance…
In a school as massive as Boston University, it is difficult for any one individual to become a prominent, widely recognized social figure. Yet somehow, people all over campus recognize junior Barron Roth. Donning a backwards black hat, a long black t-shirt with “Official” plastered in all caps across the front, white jeans, and white Vans with no socks, Barron sails past the windows of Boston University’s West Campus dining hall on a sky blue skateboard. A tiny gold cross swings from his neck…
If one of the machines should malfunction, machine one would be the appropriate choice for a back up. The chances of machine one breaking down is far less possible than the other two machines. Reliability is the probability that a machine will function properly for a specified time (Heizer, J. and Render, B. 2010). I recommend the following things to keep the machines up and running with the best possible efficiency: regular/preventative maintenance and well-trained personnel.…
the “Dependent Contractor”, a hybrid between the independent contractor and the employee. He outlines in his paper the qualities of a dependent contractor, namely being able to reap some benefits of an employee while still being able to control scheduling and other aspects of the job. This will take a lot of the burden off the company while keeping them legally clear. Another possible solution is to implement a system where drivers start out as independent contractors, and after driving a…
The focus is in the concept of digitalization. This thesis is about designing an enterprise architecture for handling substitutes in the Børne og Ungdomsforvaltningen Rengøringssektionen (BUFR - Copenhagen Municipality’s Cleaning Section). The traditional paper based system needs to be more efficient and thus the company visualizes the need of a digital system that fits to their business strategy and needs. The thesis aims to design an automation of work processes in the BUFR. By utilizing the…
The important characteristics of IR is that it can’t penetrate walls or other opaque materials. Typically, with an IR-based system, a receiver is placed in every location in which a tagged device might be found. The tagged device emits IR light, and if the tagged device is in the same room as a receiver its position is known. The major advantage of an IR-based system is that as the oldest and most installed positioning technology, solutions are generally available from a variety of sources…
