“…COVID-19 has obvious impact on the production and business activities of wood industry, and there are some differences in the impact on different types of wood enterprises [ 25 ]. At the same time, the epidemic also has a great impact on the transportation industry, and the unemployment rate of workers in the transportation industry is higher than that in other industries [ 26 , 27 ].…”

The outbreak of COVID-19 at the beginning of 2020 had a significant impact on China’s economy, society, and citizens; it also had a negative impact on the development of the construction industry. In particular, small and medium-sized construction enterprises with low ability to withstand risk have been strongly impacted, aggravating a crisis of survival among these firms. The focus of this study is to analyze the impact of COVID-19 on the growth of small and medium-sized construction companies. Based on the characteristics of small and medium-sized construction enterprises, this paper establishes a growth evaluation index and builds a growth evaluation model based on factor analysis. Twenty-three construction enterprises listed on small and medium-sized enterprises board are selected as samples, and the quarterly data of 2019 and 2020 are used for empirical analysis. The results show that the epidemic has had a high short-term impact on construction enterprises, and the total output value of the construction industry in the first quarter of 2020 was 16% lower than that in the same period of last year. In the long run, the impact of the epidemic on the growth of small and medium-sized construction enterprises has been limited. In the first quarter of 2020, the growth score of enterprises decreased by only 1.95% year-over-year, and it was essentially flat in the second and third quarters. The epidemic has had little influence on solvency, tangible resources or intangible resources but a high short term influence on profitability, capital expansion and market expectations. The long-term impact is small; It is conducive to the improvement of enterprise operation ability. Finally, to both address the influence of the COVID-19 on small and medium-sized construction enterprises and to realize their transformation and upgrading, targeted suggestions are offered at the policy and enterprise levels. The results will help to understand the impact of the epidemic on the growth of construction enterprises, and provide decision support for the healthy and orderly development of the follow-up construction industry.

“…As a response, additional supply was added in order to avoid excessive travel times ( Carrese et al, 2021 ). In Beijing, technological solutions were adopted in order to provide more customizable service for public transport, but at the same time relaxed restrictions on private car use ( Zhou et al, 2021 ).…”

“…In China, where the pandemic was brought under control relatively early in 2020, a lasting impact on mobility choices was observed throughout the rest of the year. A widespread shift from public to private transport modes was accompanied by an increased willingness to purchase a car ( Zhou et al, 2021 ). The decrease in demand for public transport was independent of the pandemic's evolution in each Chinese city ( Xin et al, 2021 ), indicating that the risk perception can last significantly longer than the actual health emergency.…”

Data analytics during pandemics: a transportation and location planning perspective

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The recent COVID-19 pandemic once again showed the value of harnessing reliable and timely data in fighting the disease. Obtained from multiple sources via different collection streams, an immense amount of data is processed to understand and predict the future state of the disease. Apart from predicting the spatio–temporal dynamics, it is used to foresee the changes in human mobility patterns and travel behaviors and understand the mobility and spread speed relationship. During this period, data-driven analytic approaches and Operations Research tools are widely used by scholars to prescribe emerging transportation and location planning problems to guide policy-makers in making effective decisions. In this study, we provide a review of studies which tackle transportation and location problems during the COVID-19 pandemic with a focus on data analytics. We discuss the major data collecting streams utilized during the pandemic era, highlight the importance of rapid and reliable data sharing, and give an overview of the challenges and limitations on the use of data.
