Download or read book Patrol Car Allocation Model written by Jan M. Chaiken and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents a computer program called the Patrol Car Allocation Model (PCAM85), which is designed to help police departments determine the number of patrol cars to have on duty in each of their geographical commands. It tells a department how to match its resources to the time-varying pattern of demands based on desired levels of performance, manpower schedules, and dispatching policies. This volume provides file specifications, installation instructions, and a listing of the program; the Executive Summary (R-3087/1-NIJ) describes PCAM in nontechnical terms; and the User's Manual (R-3087/2-NIJ) gives complete instructions for collecting data and operating the program. PCAM85 is a modernized version of a program that was written in 1975 and is documented in reports of identical titles numbered R-1786/1, R-1786/2, and R-1786/3.

Download or read book A Patrol Car Allocation Model written by Jan M. Chaiken and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A computer program has been designed for specifying the number of police patrol cars that should be on duty in each geographical command of a city at various times of day on each day of the week. The program is a synthesis of the best features of previous patrol car allocation models, with several improvements, including the capability to prescribe allocations when one tour in each day in each geographical command overlays two other tours. The program was designed to be inexpensive and readily transferable. (Author).
Download or read book Patrol Car Allocation Model written by Jan M. Chaiken and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the Patrol Car Allocation Model (PCAM85), a computer program to assist police agencies determine the number of patrol cars to have on duty in each geographic command at different times of the day and week; a user's guide to PCAM is included. Descriptions of the capabilities and uses of the model encompass typical applications, the role of judgment in using PCAM, and the major differences between PCAM75 and PCAM85 (PCAM85 is a modernized version of the original model developed in 1975). The discussion reviews general operation principles, preparation of a data base, data required for each patrol hour, calculation of performance measures, and prescriptive calculations. The user's guide to PCAM opens with an overview of program operation and then specifies how to enter commands, command format conventions, program vocabulary, and command definitions. The guide also explains error conditions and selecting an objective function. The appendixes contain information on PCAM's calculations, PCAM reference sheets, and addresses for further information. A glossary, 19 figures, and a 40-item bibliography are also provided.

Download or read book Optimal Districting and Territory Design written by Roger Z. Ríos-Mercado and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights recent advances in the field of districting, territory design, and zone design. Districting problems deal essentially with tactical decisions, and involve mainly dividing a set of geographic units into clusters or territories subject to some planning requirements. This book presents models, theory, algorithms (exact or heuristic), and applications that would bring research on districting systems up-to-date and define the state-of-the-art. Although papers have addressed real-world problems that require districting or territory division decisions, this is the first comprehensive book that directly addresses these problems. The chapters capture the diverse nature of districting applications, as the book is divided into three different areas of research. Part I covers recent up-to-date surveys on important areas of districting such as police districting, health care districting, and districting algorithms based on computational geometry. Part II focuses on recent advances on theory, modeling, and algorithms including mathematical programming and heuristic approaches, and finally, Part III contains successful applications in real-world districting cases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is intended to expand the dialogue and interest among both practitioners and academicians in a problem area worthy of attention by all. The concept of disaggregation admits to our current inability to solve many types of interrelated hierarchical problems simultaneously. It offers instead a sequential, iterative process as a workable and necessary procedure. The papers in this volume are selected from those presented at a Disaggregation Conference held in March, 1977 at The Ohio State University. We heartily applaud all those who participated in the conference and particularly appreci ate the cooperation of those authors whose work is published in this collection. Part A contains four papers which define the various dimensions of disaggregation. The paper by Martin Starr, which was the text of his luncheon address at the conference, provides several interesting perspectives to the problem. Although disaggregation suggests tear ing apart, as Professor Starr illustrates with his butterfly example, it also suggests a putting together or a synthesis which recognizes interrelationships and dependencies. The next paper by Lee Kra jewski and Larry Ritzman offers a general model of disaggregation for both the manufacturing and service sectors. After reading the papers in this section, as well as the papers in subsequent sections, you will identify other dimensions to hierarchical decision making which go beyond this generalized model.
