A novel vehicle routing problem for vaccine distribution using SIR epidemic model

Abstract: Vaccines and refrigerated trucks are critical resources for controlling the spread of epidemic diseases. This paper addresses a novel bi-objective vehicle routing problem to distribute vaccines among different regions to control the spread of communicable diseases in the aftermath of a disaster. The developed model aims to minimize the social cost incurred by considering different priority groups under the SIR epidemic model and the cost of vehicles used simultaneously. A hybrid solution procedure is developed… Show more

“… , , and were chosen as the societal costs of infected people. It should be noted that different factors are considered when estimating the social cost of different priority groups, such as the cost of non-working people, the cost of healthcare services, and intervention implementation costs such as personnel salaries, infrastructure costs, and administrative costs [ 24 , 40 ].…”

“…Individual prioritizing needs to be paid more attention to different conditions of epidemics and when the supply of effective vaccines is low. When an endemic disease strikes in the aftermath of an outbreak, Gamchi, Torabi [ 24 ] provide a mathematical model to prioritize the affected people for vaccination. They use an SIR epidemic model to determine how long each priority group will wait for vaccination.…”

“… Westerink-Duijzer, Schlicher, & Musegaas (2020) applied the conventional SIR model to formulate an influenza disease transmission as part of an analytical model to explore sharing vaccines as a redistribution problem, where health agencies might cooperate based on cooperative game theory. Gamchi, Torabi, & Jolai (2021) proposed a bi-objective mathematical model for influenza vaccine distribution, where the conventional SIR model with the optimal control problem, adapted from Alcaraz & Vargas-De-León (2012) , was employed to prioritize regions and individuals for vaccination. Then a classical vehicle routing problem was used to distribute vaccines.…”
