  • Are we getting vehicle emissions estimation right? 
    Grabe, Ruan Johannes; Joubert, Johan W. (Elsevier, 2022-11)
    Simulation is a valuable prediction tool to evaluate the impact of climate change interventions prior to disruptive implementations that may yield unintended and unwanted consequences. Advances in agent-based simulation ...
  • The art of simulation modelling 
    Kruger, P.S. (Paul Stephanus), 1944- (Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering, 2003)
    It is the contention of the author that practising the “art” of modelling has been, and always will be, of great importance to the ultimate success of any project employing a simulation approach. Yet very few publications ...
  • Assessment of the quality of service provided by a national regulatory institution 
    Adetunji, Olufemi; Yadavalli, Venkata S. Sarma; Malada, Awelani (Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering, 2013-05)
    Government institutions need to assess how well they meet the needs of their customers, and what their customers think about the quality of the services they provide. This is aligned with the ‘Batho Pele’ principle of the ...
  • Automated software distribution 
    Strasheim, J.J.; Kruger, P.S. (Paul Stephanus), 1944- (Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering, 1998)
    Automated distribution of computer software via electronic means in large corporate networks is growing in popularity. The relative importance of personal computer software, in financial and logistical terms, is described ...
  • Bayesian energy measurement and verification analysis 
    Carstens, Herman; Xia, Xiaohua; Yadavalli, Venkata S. Sarma (MDPI Publishing, 2018)
    Energy Measurement and Verification (M&V) aims to make inferences about the savings achieved in energy projects, given the data and other information at hand. Traditionally, a frequentist approach has been used to quantify ...
  • Behavioural sensitivity towards emission concepts 
    Grabe, Ruan Johannes; Joubert, Johan W. (Elsevier, 2021)
    Agent-based simulation lends itself to study emergent behaviour when agents respond autonomously, based on their unique and individual attributes, to external interventions. In transport, the vehicle-specific attribute ...
