The outbreak of COVID-19 has made a global catastrophic situation that caused 1,039,406 deaths out 35,347,404 infections, and it will also cause significant socio-economic losses with poverty increasing from 17.1 to 25.9%. Although the spreading rate is very high on October 6, 2020, death still less than 2.94%. Nonetheless, this review article shows lockdown induced numerous positive impacts environment energy consumption. For instance, decreased electricity demand by 30% in Italy, India, Germany, USA, 12-20% France, Spain, UK. Additionally, expenditure fuel supply been 4% 2020 as compared previous years (2012-2019).

Machine Learning on the COVID-19 Pandemic, Human Mobility and Air Quality: A Review

IEEE Access, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 9, С. 72420 - 72450

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2021

The ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic is touching every facet of human lives (e.g., public health, education, economy, transportation, and the environment). This novel non-pharmaceutical interventions lockdown confinement implemented citywide, regionally or nationally are affecting virus transmission, people's travel patterns, air quality. Many studies have been conducted to predict diffusion disease, assess impacts on mobility quality, measures viral spread with a range Machine Learning (ML) techniques. literature review aims analyze results from past research understand interactions among pandemic, measures, mobility, critical prior indicates that urban form, socioeconomic physical conditions, social cohesion, distancing significantly affect transmission. During many people inclined use private transportation for necessary mitigate coronavirus-related health problems. study also noticed related improve quality by reducing concentration pollutants, which in turn improves situation respiratory-related sickness deaths. It argued ML powerful, effective, robust analytic paradigm handle complex wicked problems such as pandemic. explores spatio-temporal aspects coronavirus diffusion, Additionally, we discuss policy implications, will be helpful makers take prompt actions moderate severity environments adopting data-driven methods.
