Employee Requests


Distribution of requests are based on block group population numbers from the United States Census, American Community Survey (ACS) 2022. Given an assumed 10,000 potential employees in BlueOval City, we distributed the requests proportionally to existing population numbers within each county. Shifts were distributed uniformly at random within each county at 55%, 30%, and 15% for the assumed day, mid-day, and night shifts respectively. Finally, we take 20% of the total 10,000 requests as potential public transit takers. A breakdown of requests are shown in the table below.


We generated simulations given different scenarios.
