Decision Automation for Electric Power Network Recovery
Yugandhar Sarkale, Saeed Nozhati, Edwin K. P. Chong +1
Critical infrastructure systems such as electric power networks, water networks, and transportation systems play a major role in the welfare of any community. In the aftermath of d…
Optimal Stochastic Dynamic Scheduling for Managing Community Recovery from Natural Hazards
Saeed Nozhati, Yugandhar Sarkale, Edwin K. P. Chong +1
Following the occurrence of an extreme natural or man-made event, community recovery management should aim at providing optimal restoration policies for a community over a planning…
An approximate dynamic programming approach to food security of communities following hazards
Saeed Nozhati, Yugandhar Sarkale, Bruce R. Ellingwood +2
Food security can be threatened by extreme natural hazard events for households of all social classes within a community. To address food security issues following a natural disast…
An Approximate Dynamic Programming Approach to Community Recovery Management (Extended Abstract)
Saeed Nozhati, Bruce R. Ellingwood, Hussam Mahmoud +3
The functioning of interdependent civil infrastructure systems in the aftermath of a disruptive event is critical to the performance and vitality of any modern urban community. Pos…
A Modified Approximate Dynamic Programming Algorithm for Community-level Food Security Following Disasters
Saeed Nozhati, Yugandhar Sarkale, Bruce R. Ellingwood +2
In the aftermath of an extreme natural hazard, community residents must have access to functioning food retailers to maintain food security. Food security is dependent on supportin…
Near-optimal planning using approximate dynamic programming to enhance post-hazard community resilience management
Saeed Nozhati, Yugandhar Sarkale, Bruce Ellingwood +2
The lack of a comprehensive decision-making approach at the community level is an important problem that warrants immediate attention. Network-level decision-making algorithms need…
Solving Markov decision processes for network-level post-hazard recovery via simulation optimization and rollout
Yugandhar Sarkale, Saeed Nozhati, Edwin K. P. Chong +2
Computation of optimal recovery decisions for community resilience assurance post-hazard is a combinatorial decision-making problem under uncertainty. It involves solving a large-s…
