tobus a european diagnosis and Decision Making Tool for office building upgrading
Energy and Buildings, 2002Co-Authors: D Caccavelli, H GugerliAbstract:The TOBUS (a Decision-Making Tool for selecting office building upgrading solutions) methodology and software have been developed as a result of a 2-year European research project, involving eight European institutions, in the frame of the JOULE III programme of the European Commission (EC), Directorate General XII. A structured diagnosis scheme enables architects and engineers to simultaneously handle the entire complex process of office building refurbishment or retrofit with respect to deterioration, functional obsolescence of building services, energy consumption and indoor environmental quality. The software Tool can then be used to define the most appropriate and cost-effective actions, to elaborate consistent refurbishment scenarios and calculate a reasonable investment budget in the early stages of a refurbishment project. This paper provides an overview of the work performed in TOBUS and an overview of the methodology and final deliverables of the project.

ICCSA (4) - Using Urban Modelling and Geographical Analyses to Tackle Emergent Urban Logistics Issues: Developing a Decision-Making Tool for Urban Goods Distribution
2014Co-Authors: Raphaëlle DucretAbstract:For the most part, urban goods transportation is neglected by urban studies and urban planning, as opposed to urban passenger transportation. This article will present outcomes of a research project whose goal is to develop an efficient Decision-Making Tool for urban logistics from a spatial and territorial perspective, based on urban modelling and geographical analyses. The hypothesis of this research project is that understanding urban freight through spatial structures will contribute to improving territorial diagnosis, which is essential to the understanding of urban goods distribution issues before any Decision can be made and will result in specific and efficient last-mile delivery solutions. This article will describe the methodology of the Decision-Making Tool, and discuss its limitations, inputs and perspectives.

application of system dynamics model as Decision Making Tool in urban planning process toward stabilizing carbon dioxide emissions from cities
Building and Environment, 2009Co-Authors: Weekean Fong, Hiroshi Matsumoto, Yu Fat LunAbstract:In spite of the fact that cities are the main sources of CO2 emissions, presently there are still no specific measures directly addressing the global warming issue in the urban planning process in Malaysia. The present study thus aims to shed new light in the urban planning sector in Malaysia by adopting System Dynamics Model as one of the Decision Making Tools in the urban planning process, with specific considerations on the future CO2 emission trends. This paper presented projections of future CO2 emission trends based on the case of Iskandar Development Region of Malaysia, under various options of urban policies, using the System Dynamics Model. The projections demonstrated the capability of the said model in serving as a Decision Making Tool in the urban planning process, with specific reference to CO2 emissions from cities. Recommendations have been made on the possible approach of adopting the model in the process of Structure Plan study. If the current model was successfully adopted in the urban planning process in Malaysia, it will mark the first step for Malaysia in taking specific considerations on the issues of CO2 emissions and global warming in the urban planning process.

pareto frontier analyses based Decision Making Tool for transportation of hazardous waste
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2012Co-Authors: Taraknath Mazumder, A K GuptaAbstract:Abstract Transportation of hazardous wastes through a region poses immense threat on the development along its road network. The risk to the population, exposed to such activities, has been documented in the past. However, a comprehensive framework for routing hazardous wastes has often been overlooked. A regional Hazardous Waste Management scheme should incorporate a comprehensive framework for hazardous waste transportation. This framework would incorporate the various stakeholders involved in Decision Making. Hence, a multi-objective approach is required to safeguard the interest of all the concerned stakeholders. The objective of this study is to design a methodology for routing of hazardous wastes between the generating units and the disposal facilities through a capacity constrained network. The proposed methodology uses posteriori method with multi-objective approach to find non-dominated solutions for the system consisting of multiple origins and destinations. A case study of transportation of hazardous wastes in Kolkata Metropolitan Area has also been provided to elucidate the methodology.
