The location problem with mobile facilities is motivated by a real-life railway construction project. In railway construction, (im)mobile concrete batching facilities are located to build viaducts and tunnels on a line over a planning horizon. The problem is to determine the number and types of facilities to be located, to schedule the movement of mobile facilities, and to make concrete production-allocation decisions, so that all requirements are satisfied, facility capacities are not violated, and the total cost is minimized. To the best of our knowledge, such a problem has not been studied in the literature before. Two mathematical models and a preprocessing heuristic are developed to solve the problem. Computational results on the real case study problem and randomly generated test problem instances show that locational decisions are important in construction management.

Locating disaster response facilities in Istanbul Gormez, N.; Köksalan, Mustafa Murat; Salman, F. S. (2011-07-01) We study the problem of locating disaster response and relief facilities in the city of Istanbul, where a massively destructive earthquake is expected to occur in the near future. The Metropolitan Municipality of Istanbul decided to establish facilities to preposition relief aid and execute post-disaster response operations. We propose a two-tier distribution system that utilizes existing public facilities locally in addition to the new facilities that will act as regional supply points. We develop mathemat...
An experimental study to investigate the possibility of using macro-synthetic fibers in precast tunnel segments Tengilimoğlu, Oğuz; Akyüz, Uğurhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2019) With the development of tunnel construction techniques, segmental tunnel linings have begun to play a crucial role in preserving ground surfaces and solving traffic problems in metropolitan areas. In parallel with growing interest in precast tunnel lining, engineers are in the Search of solutions that improve precast production efficiency and obtain higher structural performance. Nonetheless, the number of studies related to precast tunnel segments in Turkey is quite limited. Fibers have used as reinforceme...
Evaluating Rail Passengers Sector in Turkey Ekici, Üsame; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-1) With the rapid development of railways in Turkey, the research of railway passenger demand forecasting has gained much importance in the recent years. Passenger demand forecasting for transport services is essential for better management and better resource planning. In this study, a time-series-model was established using Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) forecasting method and then a regression model was formed to forecast the intercity railway passenger flow in Turkey. The daily passenger...
Evaluating the Relation Between Station Area Design Parameters and Transit Usage for Urban Rail Systems in Ankara, Turkey Ozgur-Cevher, Ozge; Altintasi, Oruc; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-08-01) Urban rail transit (URT) systems are particularly favoured by planners due to their potential in attracting car users. However, a URT investment must be complemented by land-use characteristics at macroscale (whole city) and design parameters at microscale (vicinity of the station). Despite the common referencing to key concepts (i.e. density, diversity and connectivity), the variability in their definitions and scales causes ambiguity in the determination of their quantified impact on URT ridership. Furthe...
Estimation of consolidation settlements caused by groundwater drainage at Ulus-Keçiören subway project Altınbilek, M. Erdem; Doyuran, Vedat; Department of Geological Engineering (2006) Prediction of ground settlements have always been a big challenge for the engineers that are responsible for the design of subway tunnel projects. Since ground settlement is a crucial concept directly affecting the successfulness of a project, it must be taken seriously and should be accurately estimated. Consolidation settlements in the close proximity of Ulus-Keçiören Subway project due to groundwater drainage is the focus of this study. In this sense, the necessary data about the project characteristics ...
