COVID-19, an infectious disease caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome

coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is a global pandemic. However, despite relying on established

public health principles, countries across the world have had varying degrees of success in

managing the burden of COVID-19. Digital technology such as modelling and simulation

can facilitate pandemic strategy and response in ways that are difficult to achieve manually.

Countries such as Malaysia have integrated digital technology into government-coordinated

containment, e-commerce and health mitigation processes including surveillance, testing,

contact tracing, and strict quarantine which could be associated with the early flattening of

their incidence curves.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to reinvent how we work, learn, help, engage

and socialize. Modelling & simulation has played a crucial role in enabling businesses and

governments to quickly apply solutions to respond to the crisis and maintain continuity.

Prepare a report to discuss the importance of modelling and simulation in the transportation

field.

a)Determine the THREE (3) impacts of modelling and simulation implementation

towards the Malaysia transportation system. Justify with THREE (3) related references from

articles, proceeding papers or journals.
