An Agent-based Evacuation Modeling of Underground Fire Emergency

Creator:: Xu, Yue
Abstract:: Increasingly congested surface transportation network in urban areas and grow-ing land values make underground transportation systems more attractive for high-ways (i.e., tunnels) and metro system compared to other options [1]. An underground transportation system can preserve the land above for recreational parks, commer-cial buildings, residential homes, or other purposes while...

Performance of a thermally activated cooling system and design of a microchannel heat recovery unit

Creator:: Seward, Ryan
Abstract:: The performance of a combined vapor-compression cycle/ORC is evaluated using waste-heat from a diesel generator. A flat plate microchannel heat exchanger is employed to provide energy exchange between the diesel exhaust stream and an oil loop, which provides energy to a boiler. This study finds an increased diesel duty corresponds...

An Interdisciplinary Agent-based Evacuation Modeling Framework: Seeking Convergence of Social, Natural, and Engineered Systems to Improve Life Safety in the Cascadia Subduction Zone

Creator:: Chen, Chen
Abstract:: Social scientists have studied people's responses to disasters for many decades, and behavioral commonalities and variations are summarized in different mental schemes/models in disaster studies. Integrating those findings from social science into evacuation simulation can improve simulation accuracy and eventually better support decision-making and disaster preparedness. However, this kind of...

Stochastic Characterization of Highway Capacity and Its Applications

Creator:: Dong, Shangjia
Abstract:: Highway capacity has traditionally been treated as deterministic. In reality, however, capacity can vary from time to time and location to location due to inclement weather, various driving behavior, traffic incident, bottleneck and workzone. This thesis aims to characterize the stochastic variations of highway capacity, and explore its applications. The...

Annual Forages Differ in Response to Partial-Season Irrigation Deficit in Both Spring Seeded and Summer Seeded Cropping Systems

Creator:: Fan, Qianqian
Abstract:: Water scarcity during summer becomes a serious problem in the Pacific Northwest, threatening forage production provided to livestock. Annual forages show great potential in handling drought because of their flexibility in seeding date and short growing season, and can shift the production to periods of feed shortage and fill the...

Agent-based Tsunami Evacuation Model : Life Safety and Network Resilience

Creator:: Mostafizi, Alireza
Abstract:: Natural disasters could result in unnecessary loss of life and disproportionate suffering to families and communities if evacuation plans are not in place or understood by the public. In the Pacific Northwest, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami from the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) represents one of the most pressing...

Quantifying the Safety and Mobility Benefits of Connected Vehicle Technologies under Varying Levels of Market Penetration and Traffic Volume : An Agent-Based Modeling Framework

Creator:: Abdulsattar, Harith M.
Abstract:: The advancement of the cutting-edge technologies of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) hold promises to reshape the future of the transportation system. The concept of connected (CV) and connected automated vehicles (CAV) technologies are live examples of the future transportation. Vehicle communication technology is expected to impact conventional traffic conditions....

Optofluidic Sensing from Inkjet-Printed Droplets on Diatom Biosilica

Creator:: Xi, Yuting
Abstract:: We explored an optofluidic sensing mechanism from inkjet-printed droplets on diatom biosilica using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Our study revealed a new biosensing strategy that combines the microscopic fluidic flow induced by the droplet evaporation and the photonic crystal effects of diatom frustules, which can provide an ultra-sensitive, cost-effective biosensing...

Decentralized Multiagent Coordination for Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Routing in Congested Networks

Creator:: Mostafizi, Alireza
Abstract:: In 2017, the cost of congestion in the United States was around 305 billion dollars, and city-dwellers, on average, lost 1400 dollars while sitting 42 hours in traffic jams. Aiming for better mobility and more efficient utilization of the transportation network, emerging connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) technologies and their...

Investigation of Infrared Absorption of Carbon Dioxide in Metal–Organic Framework Material

Creator:: Li, Shiwen
Abstract:: Due to the advantages of the high surface area and high porosity, Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) materials are widely used in gas storage. As a typical MOF material, Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (Zif-8) has high selectivity and adsorption capability of carbon dioxide (CO2). In this thesis, we investigated the infrared absorption of...
