Topics in Optimal Transportation
Author: Cédric Villani
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 1470467267
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
This is the first comprehensive introduction to the theory of mass transportation with its many—and sometimes unexpected—applications. In a novel approach to the subject, the book both surveys the topic and includes a chapter of problems, making it a particularly useful graduate textbook. In 1781, Gaspard Monge defined the problem of “optimal transportation” (or the transferring of mass with the least possible amount of work), with applications to engineering in mind. In 1942, Leonid Kantorovich applied the newborn machinery of linear programming to Monge's problem, with applications to economics in mind. In 1987, Yann Brenier used optimal transportation to prove a new projection theorem on the set of measure preserving maps, with applications to fluid mechanics in mind. Each of these contributions marked the beginning of a whole mathematical theory, with many unexpected ramifications. Nowadays, the Monge-Kantorovich problem is used and studied by researchers from extremely diverse horizons, including probability theory, functional analysis, isoperimetry, partial differential equations, and even meteorology. Originating from a graduate course, the present volume is intended for graduate students and researchers, covering both theory and applications. Readers are only assumed to be familiar with the basics of measure theory and functional analysis.

Customer-focused Transit
Author: John F. Potts
Publisher: Transportation Research Board
ISBN: 030906922X
Category : Customer services
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
This synthesis will be of interest to senior managers interested in using customer-focused strategies at their transit agencies. Both established and newer agencies might use the synthesis to guide the establishment of effective customer-focused transit. The purpose of this report is to document the experiences of selected public transportation agencies in developing and implementing customer service programs. The synthesis examines the effectiveness of certain customer-focused activities in the categories of general interaction between the customer and the agency, obtaining and using customer input, involving employees in customer-focused public transportation, and achieving customer satisfaction. It details specific programs in the case studies of two public transportation agencies.
