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…
