Service science: At the intersection of management, social, and engineering sciences

چکیده

R. C. Larson Service industries comprise roughly 75 percent of the gross domestic product of developed nations. To design and operate service systems for today and tomorrow, a new type of engineer must be educated, one who focuses on services rather than manufacturing. Such an engineer must be able to integrate three sciences— management, social, and engineering science—in the analysis of service systems. Within the context of the Center for Engineering Systems Fundamentals, a research center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, we discuss how newly emerging service systems require such a three-way integrated analysis. We deliberately select some nonstandard services, because many business services, such as supply chains, have been studied extensively.

Developing an Analytical Model and Simulation of The Contraflow Left-Turn Lane at Signalized Intersections

At some intersections, excessive queue lengths may spill out of the left-turn bay and block the through lanes, jeopardizing level of service for the entire intersection. One of the most effective plans recently presented by the researchers is the "Contraflow left-turn lane" (CLL) In this method, left-turn vehicles will use the nearest lane in the opposite direction in addition to the usual left...
