... In the context of evacuating vulnerable populations, various decision-making methods can be employed to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of evacuation efforts. Evacuation models can benefit from incorporating the complexity and uncertainty associated with extreme hazards into optimization models [37], or by incorporating spatially represented flood models into evacuation plans of vulnerable population [38]. On the use of new technologies, implementing a robust weather forecasting system is a vital component of any effective disaster risk management plan and of evacuation. ...

... In 2022, instead of using the variables extracted from incident descriptions and records, Chand et al. collected explanatory factors at a macro-level and used latent class models to estimate the crash duration and frequency for unobserved heterogeneity. The results showed that income, driver experience, and exposure are considered to have both positive and negative impacts on duration [23]. ...

... Our study also suggested that the pandemic influenced the ranking of the disease spectrum and the distribution of visit months. The overall volume of traffic accidents decreased in 2020 due to the serious and strict safer-at-home and lockdown policies implemented during the domestic epidemic 25,26 . In addition, to reduce the risk of infection, people were more willing to stay at home 27 . ...

... Following the selection of relevant publications in the previous section, the content analysis was conducted, focusing on the most relevant information to investigate the research questions using the coding framework [65] presented in Figure 4. Thematic analysis was used as a method to identify, organise and offer insight into a "pattern of meaning", referred to as "theme", that facilitates the understanding of collective meanings and experiences by researchers [26,66] The thematic analysis considered a coding and subcoding approach to address more specific issues [67] identified as crucial to understand the occupational health and safety challenges in the post-disaster reconstruction process. The codes and sub-codes were defined after a first analysis of the papers, and the identification of the most relevant factors as main issues and indicators as sub-codes that provide more specificity in the issues related to the research questions. ...

... Li et al. [78] obtain real-time travel data from web services to measure urban tourism accessibility in Nanjing, China. Nuzzolo et al. [72] analyze freight delivery patterns through floating car data in Italy while Waller et al. [79], comparable to Braun et al. [36], leverage data provided by TomTom, Google, and OSM to estimate RNP in Sydney through their Rapidex data exploration and visualization tool. ...
