OR/Ed. study chosen for publication in TRR Journal The OR/Ed. paper, "Planning for Enrollment Growth: Using Land Use Data to Determine Future School Sites," was chosen from 2,800 global submissions and included as one of 704 papers for publication in the 2008 Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board Authored by OR/Ed. program manager Michael A. Miller, the study findings represent nearly two-years of research on the growing school population in Wake County, North Carolina. Miller outlines how the the Lab's data-drive decision science tools will help county administrators meet the challenges over the next 20 years. |
The Operations Research and Education Laboratory (OR/Ed. Lab) utilizes proven mathematical techniques and state-of-the-art Decision Science applications to assist school districts dealing with difficult school reassignments and school planning challenges often conducted in a poorly articulated environment and with conflicting objectives. By approaching projects quantitatively as well as qualitatively, the OR/Ed. Lab can provide school planning solutions that are driven by data and supported by policies.
