Solving the LP Relaxation of Distance-Constrained Vehicle Routing Problem Using Column Generation
DownloadFall 2020
The distance-constrained vehicle routing problem (DVRP) is one of the less studied variants of vehicle routing problems. Here, the objective is to deliver packages from a depot to clients with as few delivery vehicles as possible within a given time frame. In this thesis, we tackle larger...

Multi-Objective Optimization for Reinforcement Detailing Design and Work Planning on a Reinforced Concrete Slab Case
DownloadFall 2018
Reinforced steel rebar is fabricated in the form of one-dimensional stocks, designed according to structural engineering code, and installed in various structural components. Cutting one-dimensional stocks to fit to project-specific requirements results in cutting losses, which is the major...

ProAnalyser: a multimedia modeling and authoring framework for discerning student learning processes
DownloadSpring 2010
Online multimedia education systems traditionally tend to consist almost exclusively of multiple choice or numeric response style questions. However, many curricula such as math, physics, and chemistry typically involve students completing large, complex, multi-step problems where the process...
