Logistical and Transportation Planning Methods: Course Description
Consider the length of time it takes for emergency services to receive a call, respond and return to start the process again. This is affected by the location of the emergency and emergency services, both of which affect the planning methods for emergency services. This OpenCourseWare provided by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)'s School of Engineering looks at the methods used to determine the optimal transportation routes and their practical applications. Students will learn about the relationship between these methods and how they affect professionals, like police officers, postmen and firemen. Professors Arnold I. Barnett, Richard C. Larson and Amedeo R. Odoni use graphs, statistics and probability to demonstrate possible outcomes and how to apply theoretical simulations to real-world problems. Students will use advanced mathematics and statistics to calculate possible hindrances, like snow and traffic, to see how they influence the development of emergency service transportation plans.
Lectures, notes, assignments and exams are available online for free. To take this free OpenCourseWare, visit the logistics and transportation planning methods course page.
