Autonomous drone fleets have immense potential in medical supply delivery during disaster incident response. However, coordinating multiple drones in such settings introduces compounding challenges: dynamic environmental hazards such as…
Emergency Department (ED) crowding is a worldwide issue that affects the efficiency of hospital management and the quality of patient care. This occurs when the request for an admit ward-bed to receive a patient is delayed until an…
Research in emergency triage is restricted to structured electronic health records (EHR) due to regulatory constraints on nurse-patient interactions. We introduce TriageSim, a simulation framework for generating persona-conditioned triage…
In this paper we consider the problem of maximum throughput for tandem queueing system. We modeled this system as a Quasi-Birth-Death process. In order to do this we named level the number of customers waiting in the first buffer (including…
Traffic control optimization is a challenging task for various traffic centres in the world and majority of approaches focus only on applying adaptive methods under normal (recurrent) traffic conditions. But optimizing the control plans…
Public service programs often allocate limited resources under uncertainty about their benefits, creating a need for randomization to support credible evaluation. In practice, however, applicants commonly enter waitlists where resources are…
In the elevator industry, reducing passenger journey time in an elevator system is a major aim. The key obstacle to optimising elevator dispatching is the unpredictable traffic flow of passengers. To address this difficulty, two main…
Deriving optimal control strategies for coordination of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) often requires re-evaluating the strategies in order to respond to unexpected changes in the presence of disturbances and uncertainties. In this…
Reorganizing bus frequency to cater for the actual travel demand can save the cost of the public transport system significantly. Many, if not all, existing studies formulate this as a bus frequency optimization problem which tries to…
The hypercube queueing model was initially developed to address spatial queueing problems and has found wide applications in emergency services, such as ambulance and police systems. While the model was originally designed for homogeneous…
We study randomized experiments in a service system when stochastic congestion can arise from temporarily limited supply or excess demand. Such congestion gives rise to cross-unit interference between the waiting customers, and analytic…
Cardiovascular disease (CVDs) is a rapidly rising global concern due to unhealthy diets, lack of physical activity, and other factors. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), primary risk factors include elevated blood pressure,…
Traffic congestion has lead to an increasing emphasis on management measures for a more efficient utilization of existing infrastructure. In this context, this paper proposes a novel framework that integrates real-time optimization of…
We introduce a heuristic scheduling algorithm for real-time adaptive traffic signal control to reduce traffic congestion. This algorithm adopts a lane-based model that estimates the arrival time of all vehicles approaching an intersection…
Background: The stochastic behavior of patient arrival at an emergency department (ED) complicates the management of an ED. More than 50% of hospitals ED capacity tends to operate beyond its normal capacity and eventually fails to deliver…
Split flow models, in which a physician rather than a nurse performs triage, are increasingly being used in hospital emergency departments (EDs) to improve patient flow. Before deciding whether such interventions should be adopted, it is…
The main question to address in this paper is to recommend optimal signal timing plans in real time under incidents by incorporating domain knowledge developed with the traffic signal timing plans tuned for possible incidents, and learning…
Triage tools in routine emergency care are largely static, failing to exploit simple behavioral cues clinicians notice in real time. Here, we developed a Bayesian, sequentially updating framework that integrates incoming cues to produce…
The post-pandemic surge in healthcare demand, coupled with critical nursing shortages, has placed unprecedented pressure on medical triage systems, necessitating innovative AI-driven solutions. We present a multi-agent interactive…
In this paper, we study the one-shot and lifelong versions of the Target Assignment and Path Finding problem in automated sortation centers, where each agent needs to constantly assign itself a sorting station, move to its assigned station…
