This book was released on 2012 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The objective of this research was to undertake a comprehensive and systematic examination of the way agencies should be organized to successfully execute operations programs that improve travel time reliability. The following types of questions were examined at the outset of this research: How does operations fit into a transportation agency's overall program? What changes can be made in agency culture and training to promote operations? Which local and regional public agencies and private-sector organizations are essential to the various aspects of operations? Are there emerging technologies, systems, or organizational structures that can be used to advance intra-agency and interagency communications and therefore operations? The research addressed a large number of topics concerning organizational and institutional approaches that could enhance highway operations and travel time reliability. The most fruitful investigation was identification of the Capability Maturity Model, used extensively in the information technology field for organizational self-assessment and continuous improvement of quality and reliability. The researchers recognized that a version of the Capability Maturity Model could be developed and applied to highway operations and in turn travel time reliability. Elements defining different levels of maturity include culture/leadership, organization and staffing, resource allocation, and partnerships."--Publisher's description.

Download or read book Network Reliability in Practice written by David Levinson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-26 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains selected peer-reviewed papers that were presented at the Fourth International Symposium on Transportation Network Reliability (INSTR) Conference held at the University of Minnesota July 22-23, 2010. International scholars, from a variety of disciplines--engineering, economics, geography, planning and transportation—offer varying perspectives on modeling and analysis of the reliability of transportation networks in order to illustrate both vulnerability to day-to-day and unpredictability variability and risk in travel, and demonstrates strategies for addressing those issues. The scope of the chapters includes all aspects of analysis and design to improve network reliability, specifically user perception of unreliability of public transport, public policy and reliability of travel times, the valuation and economics of reliability, network reliability modeling and estimation, travel behavior and vehicle routing under uncertainty, and risk evaluation and management for transportation networks. The book combines new methodologies and state of the art practice to model and address questions of network unreliability, making it of interest to both academics in transportation and engineering as well as policy-makers and practitioners.
Download or read book DOD Business Systems Modernization Military Departments Need to Strengthen Management of Enterprise Architecture Programs written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The military departments respective enterprise architecture programs have yet to advance to a level that can be considered mature. To effectively establish and leverage enterprise architectures as instruments of organizational transformation, research by us and others show that architecture programs should be founded upon both an institutional commitment and a measured and verified organizational capability to properly develop, maintain, and use the architecture to affect operational and technological change. Our framework for managing and evaluating the status of architecture programs consists of 31 core elements related to architecture governance, content, use, and measurement that are associated with five stages of maturity. In 2006, we reported that the Departments of the Air Force, Navy, and Army were in the initial stage of our framework, and they remain so today. This means that they have not fully satisfied all the core elements associated with the framework's second stage (establishing the management foundation for developing, maintaining, and using the architecture); nor have they fully satisfied the core elements associated with Stage 3 (developing the architecture), 4 (completing the architecture), and 5 (leveraging the architecture for organizational change). As we have previously reported, an organization generally needs to have achieved Stage 5 in our framework for it to have an effective architecture program because, at this stage, the full complement of architecture products and supporting management controls and structures are in place to guide and constrain information technology (IT) investments in a way that produces institutional results.
