An intertemporal and spatial network model for Turkish Energy System
Seyhan, Tolga Han; Güven, Yusuf Çağlar; Department of Industrial Engineering (2007)
Turkey, as a recent signatory to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has to adopt policies to restrict greenhouse gas emissions at a time when energy demand is increasing rapidly. We report on an intertemporal, spatial network model representing the energy system that seeks to address the difficult trade-offs involved. We compute and optimal mix of fuels and technologies; considering efficiencies and investments in generation and transmission. The model allows analysis of emis...
A complex dynamical systems model of education, research, employment, and sustainable human development
Erdoğan, Ezgi; Azizoğlu, Meral; Department of Industrial Engineering (2010)
Economic events of this era reflect the fact that the value of information and technology has surpassed the value of physical production. This motivates countries to focus on increasing the education levels of citizens. However, policy making about education system and its returns requires dynamical analyses in order to be sustainable. The study aims to investigate the dynamic characteristics of a country-wide education system, in particular, that of Turkey. System Dynamics modeling, which is one of the mos...
A genetic algorithm for the multi-level maximal covering ambulance location problem
Karaman, Mesut; Meral, Fatma Sedef; Department of Industrial Engineering (2008)
The emergency medical services (EMS) provide the preliminary assistance and transportation for patients in need of urgent medical care in order to decrease the mortality rate and reduce the non-reversible effects of injuries. Since the objective is directly related to the human life, the value of the proposed solutions in order to improve the performance of EMS is highly welcomed. Mainly, there are three problems that EMS managers face with: location, allocation and redeployment of the EMS facilities/vehicl...
An integrated inventory control and vehicle routing problem
Solyalı, Oğuz; Süral, Haldun; Department of Industrial Engineering (2005)
In this study, we consider a logistics system, in which a single supplier delivers a product to multiple retailers over a finite time horizon. Supplier decides on the amount to order in each period and services retailers facing deterministic dynamic demand via a fleet of vehicles having limited capacity. Each retailer has specific minimum and maximum levels of inventory in an order-up-to level inventory policy setting. The problem is to simultaneously determine the quantity of product to order to the suppli...
A sampling methodology for usability testing of consumer products considering individual differences
Berkman, Ali Emre; Erbuğ, Çiğdem; Department of Industrial Design (2010)
Aim of the study was to discuss and identify individual differences that influence the user performance during usability tests of consumer products that are known to prevent researchers to conduct systematic studies. The rationale behind the study was developing a tool for sampling in order to handle experiential factors as a variable rather than a source of error. The study made it possible to define and elaborate on constructs general interaction expertise (GIE) and general interaction self efficacy (GISE...
