A Review of Applications of Operational Research in Healthcare Coordination in Disaster Management (2021)
Journal Article
Tippong, D., Petrovic, S., & Akbari, V. (2022). A Review of Applications of Operational Research in Healthcare Coordination in Disaster Management. European Journal of Operational Research, 301(1), 1-17. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejor.2021.10.048

Many disasters that have happened in the last decades, including the latest COVID-19 pandemic, have caused a shortage of healthcare resources and change in healthcare operations. Given these impacts, the Operational Research (OR) community has applie... Read More about A Review of Applications of Operational Research in Healthcare Coordination in Disaster Management.

An online optimization approach for post-disaster relief distribution with online blocked edges (2021)
Journal Article
Akbari, V., & Shiri, D. (2022). An online optimization approach for post-disaster relief distribution with online blocked edges. Computers and Operations Research, 137, Article 105533. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cor.2021.105533

Disasters can disrupt road networks by blocking some of the roads and consequently impeding accessibility to critical locations. In the immediate post-disaster response phase, while the blockage information is yet to be collected, relief distribution...

Routing multiple work teams to minimize latency in post-disaster road network restoration (2021)
Journal Article
Ajam, M., Akbari, V., & Salman, F. S. (2022). Routing multiple work teams to minimize latency in post-disaster road network restoration. European Journal of Operational Research, 300(1), 237-254. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejor.2021.07.048

After a disaster, often roads are damaged and blocked, hindering accessibility for relief efforts. It is essential to dispatch work teams to restore the blocked roads by clearance or repair operations. With the goal of enabling access between critica...

Analysis of the sharing economy effect on sustainability in the transportation sector using Fuzzy cognitive mapping (2021)
Journal Article
Nozari, M. A., Safaei Ghadikolaei, A., Govindan, K., & Akbari, V. (2021). Analysis of the sharing economy effect on sustainability in the transportation sector using Fuzzy cognitive mapping. Journal of Cleaner Production, Article 127331. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2021.127331

Along with the significant growth of the sharing economy in recent years, its effect on the economy, society, and the environment at the level of governments, academic communities, and researchers has been widely discussed. One of the main debates is... Read More about Analysis of the sharing economy effect on sustainability in the transportation sector using Fuzzy cognitive mapping.

A decomposition-based heuristic for a multicrew coordinated road restoration problem (2021)
Journal Article
Akbari, V., Sadati, M. E. H., & Kian, R. (2021). A decomposition-based heuristic for a multicrew coordinated road restoration problem. Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment, 95, Article 102854. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.2021.102854

Natural disasters disrupt the connectivity of road networks by blocking road segments, which impedes efficient distribution of relief materials to the affected area. We study the problem of finding coordinated paths for clearing teams so that the con... Read More about A decomposition-based heuristic for a multicrew coordinated road restoration problem.

Online Failure Diagnosis in Interdependent Networks (2021)
Journal Article
Shiri, D., & Akbari, V. (2021). Online Failure Diagnosis in Interdependent Networks. SN Operations Research Forum, 2, 1-14. https://doi.org/10.1007/s43069-021-00055-2

Motivation. In interdependent networks, nodes are connected to each other with respect to their failure dependency relations. As a result of this dependency, a failure in one of the nodes of one of the networks within a system of several interdepende... Read More about Online Failure Diagnosis in Interdependent Networks.
