      <title>Management of transportation process reliability based on an ontological model of an information system</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1577567</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The article addresses the ontological approach to the modeling of transport companies with the use of the Osterwalder business model canvas and Zachman framework for enterprise architecture for the purpose of creating a system of cargo transportation reliability management. The article includes mathematical models for the evaluation of transportation process reliability, that can be used to create corresponding modules in information management systems. The use of the methods for evaluating and ensuring transportation reliability based on the modeling of business processes is especially important for improving the competitiveness of transport enterprises in an unstable economic environment.]]></description>

      <title>Business Process Analysis and Optimization on Road Traffic Law Enforcement of the Beijing Intelligent Traffic Management</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1317653</link>
      <description><![CDATA[With the increase of motor vehicle ownership and the traffic demand in Beijing, the road traffic management is becoming more important and complex. To build the intelligent traffic management system using the information technology is an effective measure to improve the traffic system ability and service level, and the road traffic law enforcement business is one of the key links. With IDEF method, this paper builds the business process model of Beijing road traffic law enforcement and carries out the business process diagnosis and analysis combined with the actual situation. The paper puts forward the optimization idea of Beijing road traffic law enforcement business process, and builds the optimized business procedural model, which provides reference to develop the traffic law enforcement business of the Beijing intelligent traffic management system.]]></description>

      <title>Optimal Research of Port Business Process Based on Petri Net</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1274868</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In this paper, the authors investigate a modeling technique for analyzing the port business process using Petri net. Based on the case study of the YF port in Guangdong province, China, a Petri net model on the YF port's business process is built to find its bottleneck, such as time and resource limitations. After that, an optimized Petri net model is proposed and a simulation test of the port business process is processed on Arena.]]></description>

      <title>System Dynamics and Theory of Chaos in Freight Rate Forming in Shipping</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1091208</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Using the example of freight rate forming, this paper deals with system dynamics and chaos theory application in shipping. New technology development, structural and condition changes, information accessibility, etc., are only some of the factors intensifying changes in freight rate forming in shipping. The shipping environment is therefore becoming increasingly dynamic and complex. System dynamics seem to be very suited for modeling strategic and operational behavior in the shipping business. Chaos theory also can help in modeling processes in shipping due to the complex behavior of these systems. Fine sensitivity in conditions at the beginning, when small input value changes may cause great output value changes, is the basic feature of chaotic systems. It prepares business systems for quick response to environmental changes by applying its concepts to the business process, as well as freight rate forming in shipping.]]></description>

      <title>Integration of Utility and Environmental Activities in the Project Development Process</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/915800</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Two sources of delay during the project development process are utility adjustments and the environmental review and clearance process. There are several efforts underway at the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to optimize these processes, including recently finished and active research projects. Despite these efforts, the interaction between the utility process and the environmental process is one that has not received proper attention over the years. One of the reasons is that, although the collection of data about existing and abandoned utility installations is part of the environmental data gathering process, in practice the collection of detailed underground utility-related data normally starts in the design phase, which typically occurs after the environmental process is complete. The purpose of the research was to evaluate the feasibility of (a) obtaining better existing utility data during preliminary design and coordinating this activity with the environmental process; and (b) increasing the level of definition of design components during preliminary design without affecting environmental requirements to support the earlier application of utility processes. The analysis resulted in 10 optimization strategies that address a variety of environmental and utility issues identified through a literature review and meetings with stakeholders throughout the state. The researchers also developed a high detailed business process diagram that integrates environmental and utility functions, with a specific emphasis on the preliminary design phase. To facilitate access to model information, the researchers developed a web-based application called TxDOT Business Process Explorer (TxBPE). TxBPE can be accessed on the Internet, the TxDOT intranet, or from a local or networked computer drive.]]></description>

      <title>Business Process Modeling for the Virginia Department of Transportation: A Demonstration with the Integrated Six-Year Improvement Program and the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program: Executive Summary</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/757257</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This effort demonstrates business process modeling to describe the integration of particular planning and programming activities of a state highway agency.  The motivations to document planning and programming activities are that:  (i) resources for construction projects are used effectively; (ii) employees know where projects are in their construction life cycles and how projects may have been changed; (iii) the time of agency employees is used effectively; and (iv) the employees are working together to complete transportation projects in a reasonable time.  The effort adopts the Integrated Definition for Function (IDEF) modeling capability of the BPWin software (also known as the AllFusion Process Modeler).  IDEF modeling encourages consistent documentation of who generates what information, products, services; for whom; how; and for what reasons.  Across the agency, the modeling is useful in prioritizing processes for change and maintenance.  The modeling empowers employees at all levels, makes institutional knowledge relevant and accessible, and removes bottlenecks.  It also encourages the development of integrated systems along functional lines, including administration, engineering, and operations, and focuses agency personnel on the "good" rather than the "perfect" system.  Highway agencies have multiple business processes that can benefit from an integrated description of business and technology in process models.  For example, the information technology division of a large highway agency maintains and develops around sixty software applications at any one time.  Business process modeling helps the division improve their allocation of resources and priorities to these applications.  This document provides the purpose and scope of the effort, the method behind IDEF modeling and the AllFusion software, the results and discussion of the effort, the deliverables, and the recommendations for future work.  The authors identify some significant benefits that can be realized by an implementing agency in exchange for modest costs.  This Executive Summary presents a summary of the document described above.]]></description>
