This paper examines household residential location choice behavior using a sample of single wage-earner households from the Dallas-Fort Worth region in Texas. The study considers several potential determinants of residence location choice, including socio-demographic status, stage of life cycle and racial composition. In addition, the study is one of the few research efforts that recognizes the...

A Web-based bilingual diabetes information pathfinder was created to help the Chinese population access quality health information on the Internet as part of a collaborative outreach project in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. A survey was conducted to identify the demographics, Internet usage, health information needs, and preferences for training sessions of the Chinese population. Breast cancer, ...

This paper presents an optimization model for an aircraft taxi-scheduling problem that arises on the surface of airports. Though formulations are already available for this problem in the literature, they either ignore aircraft type or do not include all the safety constraints that are required to keep any two aircraft separated by a minimum distance at any time instant. The proposed model impr...

An Integer Programming formulation is developed for optimizing surface operations at Dallas-Fort Worth airport, with the goal of assessing the potential benefits of taxi route planning. The model is based on operations in the eastern half of the airport under the most frequently used configuration. The focus is on operational concepts that optimize taxi routes by utilizing different control poi...

At many airports, aircraft take off from multiple departure runways. During periods of high departure demand, whether or not the departure runways are balanced directly affects the capacity and efficiency of the airport. This paper begins by investigating the cause of runway imbalances. Homogeneity in the direction of flight during a departure push and the procedures for runway assignments are ...
