Background and aims: COVID-19 is a contagious disease caused by a new coronavirus known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Till now there are no vaccines and explicit medicines available for the treatment of COVID-19 disease, therefore the initiatives like public health and social measures are helpful in limiting the quantity of contaminations and saving lives. Keeping this in view, an attempt has been made in the present work to identify the barriers which hinder the implementation of these public health and social measures Methods: The barriers to implement public health and social measures for preventing transmission of COVID-19 are identified using systematic literature review and these barriers are then categorized using Decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method. Results: Results reveal that among ten identified barriers, Lack of resources for implementing public health and social measures is found to be the most influential barrier to implement public health and social measures for preventing transmission of COVID-19. Conclusions: The successful implementation of public health and social measures depends on the adequate availability of resources which include medical equipment, personnel and financial dealings. The outcome of this research work will benefit and motivate the higher authorities to consider and overcome various challenges to prevent the transmission of COVID-19.

“…Aside from incremental effects (though their size can be so large as to be disruptive), we also should mention the development of new technologies as a positive spillover of the pandemic. Okyere et al (2020) noted development of autonomous vehicles for delivery, use of robots in hospitals and unsafe areas, and educational technologies.…”

Highlights The realization of the digital economy in the Asian nations is due to the need to revamp traditional business processes, extensive technology innovation, supportive government policies for economic growth, and the high capacity for digital entrepreneurship. Research opportunities may be related to the components of “digital economy and society index” (DESI) scores. New research directions are prompted by big data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), platform economy, digital trade, fintech innovation, and societal and economic sustainability. The recent emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic around the world calls for addressing new research directions that could stay after the pandemic has ended.

“…In addition, when looking at changes in organizational settings regulating the functioning of transport systems, it is also important to highlight that AV-related sustainability studies are also required for exploring how AV development will be affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and what new barriers and opportunities have been brought to light. For example, while people are forced to observe social distancing measures to prevent the virus for spreading, AVs have been deployed for non-contact, low-speed delivery services, in particular in areas that were subject to lockdown measures ( Okyere et al., 2020 ). This approach to deployment shows that driverless technology may provide an opportunity to reduce biosafety risks.…”

Scientific knowledge on autonomous-driving technology is expanding at a faster-than-ever pace. As a result, the likelihood of incurring information overload is particularly notable for researchers, who can struggle to overcome the gap between information processing requirements and information processing capacity. We address this issue by adopting a multi-granulation approach to latent knowledge discovery and synthesis in large-scale research domains. The proposed methodology combines citation-based community detection methods and topic modelling techniques to give a concise but comprehensive overview of how the autonomous vehicle (AV) research field is conceptually structured. Thirteen core thematic areas are extracted and presented by mining the large data-rich environments resulting from 50 years of AV research. The analysis demonstrates that this research field is strongly oriented towards examining the technological developments needed to enable the widespread rollout of AVs, whereas it largely overlooks the wide-ranging sustainability implications of this sociotechnical transition. On account of these findings, we call for a broader engagement of AV researchers with the sustainability concept and we invite them to increase their commitment to conducting systematic investigations into the sustainability of AV deployment. Sustainability research is urgently required to produce an evidence-based understanding of what new sociotechnical arrangements are needed to ensure that the systemic technological change introduced by AV-based transport systems can fulfill societal functions while meeting the urgent need for more sustainable transport solutions.
