  2. 1. Towards Increased Use of Discrete-Event Simulation for Hospital Resource Planning

    Author : Krisjanis Steins; Jan Lundgren; Fredrik Persson; Sten Walther; Sally Brailsford; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Health care systems in many countries are experiencing a growing demand while their resources remain limited. The discrepancy between demand and capacity creates many problems – long waiting times for treatment, overcrowding in hospital wards, high workload, etc. READ MORE

  4. 2. Incorporation of Departure Time Choice in a Mesoscopic Transportation Model for Stockholm

    Author : Ida Kristoffersson; Leonid Engelson; Jan Lundgren; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transport Modelling; Departure Time Choice; Dynamic Traffic Simulation; Time-Varying Congestion Charges; Peak Spreading; Reverse Engineering;

    Abstract : Travel demand management policies such as congestion charges encourage car-users to change among other things route, mode and departure time. Departure time may be especially affected by time-varying charges, since car-users can avoid high peak hour charges by travelling earlier or later, so called peak spreading effects. READ MORE

  5. 3. Modelling nutrient transport from forest ecosystems to surface waters : The model ForSAFE-2D

    Author : Giuliana Zanchi; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; forest; dynamic modelling; hydrology; biogeochemistry; ecosystem service;

    Abstract : Forests provide multiple products and services which are all are linked to water resources. Trees need water to grow and, at the same time, they change the quality and the quantity of runoff by modifying water and nutrient cycling. READ MORE

  6. 4. Multi-Agent Systems for Container Terminal Management

    Author : Lawrence Henesey; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; container terminal; multi-agent systems; mult-agent based simulation; container terminal management;

    Abstract : This thesis describes research concerning the application of multi-agent based simulation for evaluating container terminal management operations. The growth of containerization, i.e., transporting goods in a container, has created problems for ports and container terminals. READ MORE

  7. 5. Simulation of turbocharged SI-engines - with focus on the turbine

    Author : Fredrik Westin; Hans-Erik Ångström; Gordon P Blair; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Engineering design; turbocharging simulation 1D turbine accuracy SI-engine; Konstruktionsteknik; Construction engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : The aim is to share experience gained when simulating (and doing measurements on) the turbocharged SI-engine as well as describing the limits of current state of the technology. In addition an overview of current boosting systems is provided. READ MORE
