A multi-objective distributionally robust model for sustainable last mile relief network design problem

Peiyu Zhang et al.

Summary: Natural disasters not only cause massive losses but also psychological damage, and can even lead to social unrest. It is important to design a sustainable relief network for distributing supplies. This study proposes a multi-objective distributionally robust optimization model to maximize equitable distribution while minimizing transportation time and cost.

A stochastic bi-objective simulation-optimization model for cascade disaster location-allocation-distribution problems

Kaveh Khalili-Damghani et al.

Summary: This study proposes a bi-level two-echelon mathematical model to minimize pre-disaster costs and maximize post-disaster relief coverage area, using GIS to classify disaster areas and determine optimal distribution center locations. The results show the challenges of relief operations at night, with higher costs and increased coverage area with surging demand.

A three-stage stochastic model for emergency relief planning considering secondary disasters

Yuchen Li et al.

Summary: This study proposes a scenario-based model considering the correlation between primary and secondary disasters, making emergency relief operations more challenging. An accelerated Benders decomposition algorithm and an approximation method using worst-case scenarios are formulated to enhance computational tractability. The computational study shows that considering secondary disasters can significantly improve demand satisfaction.
