Reducing both food waste and food plastic packaging waste in the household has major environmental and economic benefits. However, due to the high cost and resources required, limited empirical research has been conducted on this topic. This paper provides 2 a new modelling strategy for incorporating complicated household behaviours to answer trade...

Food waste is an issue of global importance. Households generate more food waste than any other source in high- and middle-income countries. There are many solutions to reduce household food waste, but measurement of the impact of each solution is costly, and therefore usually not undertaken. This is a major barrier to decision makers adopting the...

The generation of food waste at both the supplier and the consumer levels stems from a complex set of interacting behaviours. Computational and mathematical models provide various methods to simulate, diagnose and predict different aspects within the complex system of food waste generation and prevention. This chapter outlines four different modell...

Food waste is now acknowledged as an issue of global importance, with households generating more food waste than any other source in high- and middle-income countries. There are many possible solutions to reduce the amount of food wasted by households, but measurement of solutions’ impact is costly and so the effectiveness of these solutions remain...

The outcome of a work process depends on which tasks are assigned to which employees. However, sometimes optimized assignments based on employees’ qualifications may result in an uneven and ineffective workload distribution. Likewise, an even workload distribution without considering the employee’s qualifications may cause unproductive employee-tas...

Decreasing food and drink waste in the home can have a significant positive environmental and economic impact. However, few empirical studies have been performed on this issue, largely due to the cost and resources involved. This study describes a modelling method that can incorporate complex household dynamics and allow challenging questions regar...

This chapter develops a human performance simulation model in the context of distracted driving. The driver’s cognitive demand is quantified using mental workload methods that can capture the additional demand when nomadic devices, such as cell phones, are used while driving and impact performance. Additionally, the cognitive demand of driver’s aid...

The aim of this study is to examine the use of a driver workload simulation model to provide commercial vehicle interface designers a tool to investigate the effects of various types of distracters and driver's aids under varying conditions, prior to test in a simulator or implementation in a prototype. To build the model, a driving scenario was fi...

Developing human centered systems across multiple design and development teams requires a common framework to ensure seamless transition of models between collaborators. It is not sufficient to simply exchange data that is syntactically correct, it is also important to ensure that the information exchanged has shared meaning among team members. A c...

Almost all children have abdominal pain, which is pain in the stomach or belly area, at one time or another. Most of the time, it is not caused by a serious medical problem; however, sometimes abdominal pain can be a sign of something serious. In this study, we develop a simulation model of the flow of children with abdominal pain in a paediatric e...

In this study, we work on the order picking problem (OPP) in a specially designed warehouse with a single picker. Ratliff and Rosenthal (1983) show that the special design of the warehouse and use of one picker lead to a polynomially solvable case. We address the multiobjective version of this special case and investigate the properties of the nond...
