Modeling complex systems plays a significant role in decision supports for stochastic processes such as the transportation system. Furthermore, the transportation system in an urban university setting poses additional challenges due to the dynamic nature of the user groups (mainly students) as many factors including the living arrangements and class schedules of the students influence the demands for on-campus transportation. In this research initiative, a university shuttle system was simulated using discrete event simulation modeling to understand the systems dynamics, identify system bottlenecks, and recommend improvement strategies. Specifically, the passenger waiting times as well as the shuttle bus utilization were analyzed at each bus stop. After modeling and validating the current transportation system scenario, a hypothetical scenario of diverting buses from one route to another was investigated and quantitative comparison was made.

This research initiative focuses on modeling and optimizing an urban university parking system. Different from regular parking systems, urban university parking systems face additional challenges due to the limited space, the complexity of the parking facility distribution, the dynamic nature of the traffic flows, and the randomness of the parking access times, primarily driven by class schedules. A comprehensive discrete event simulation model was developed to capture parking system dynamics for an urban university in Akron-Ohio. Specifically, a model consisting of 7 parking decks, 44 surface lots, and 8 residence halls was created to take into account the different user groups, their arrival and departure patterns, and parking location preferences. After validating the baseline model, an interactive campus map was developed to show the best places to park throughout the day based on the windows of arrival times on campus. This map can be updated each academic semester based on the arrival rate data for parking location recommendations.

Given a set of underwater sensors coordinates that are usually determined by a specialist for the design of a watershed monitoring system, where should be placed the sinks and the base station? The answer may be the minimization of the Variable Internode Distance. In such cases, a two dimensional architecture is acceptable because it is a shallow water system. Hence, in this paper, it is proposed a two-level node distance minimization for Underwater Wireless Sensor Network for monitoring systems. The mathematical method employed for optimization is the Hyperbolic Smoothing approach and the proposed method includes the placement of the base-station in the algorithm. Copyright 2014 ACM.
