“…Craighead et al [31] link established and emergent theories of business with pandemic situations and explain how the uncertainty due to the pandemic affects the supply chain activities. Few studies propose sustainable open-loop and closed-loop supply chain solutions to combat the uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic [ 32 , 33 ]. Sharif et al [34] (2020) argue that the uncertainty emanating from COVID-19 should be perceived differently over the short run and the long run.…”

“…The inclusion criteria were (i) articles focused on VRPs in a pandemic or epidemic setting, and (ii) both the terms "vehicle routing" and "pandemic", or other similar words (as mentioned in Table 3), appearing in the body text. Hereby, VRP applications on animal disease control [53], agricultural route planning [54,55], home health care (HHC) [56][57][58][59][60], supply chain management [61,62], and production management [63] were excluded from consideration, since this review aims to focus on humanitarian delivery optimization and pandemic control. For a holistic review of the HHC routing problem and production routing problem, interested readers can refer to the surveys provided by Fikar and Hirsch [64] and Adulyasak et al [65], respectively.…”

The global spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has accounted for many deaths. The effective containment of the current COVID-19 epidemic calls for a fast and sustainable delivery strategy to minimize the impact of this crisis. As such, this study aimed to conduct a comprehensive review of research on the vehicle routing problem (VRP) from a sustainable viewpoint during the pandemic and explore viable delivery solutions that may aid in the containment of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through a systematic review of the selected articles, four broad themes of pandemic containment measures from the delivery aspect were identified: efficient pharmaceutical delivery strategy, contactless distribution, sustainable waste transportation strategy, and isolated and quarantine vehicle scheduling. Following that, the methodology utilized to execute the containment measures were analyzed, research gaps were hightlighted, and possibilities for future studies were suggested. In summary, the goal of this research is to provide an overview of the literature on the application of VRPs in pandemic control and to assist academics and practitioners in learning more about the performance metrics, models, and solution techniques utilized in pandemic control delivery operations.

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.
