Executive Summary : | This work proposes (1) a multi-agent spatial model for epidemic diffusion, (2) a control theoretic approach for choosing the right lockdown strategy and deciding on the duration of implementation of a strategy and, (3) to apply fuzzy logic to make the model more realistic with uncertainties with respect to agent decisions. |
Outcome/Output: | The SEIRD model defines that human agents are in any one of the states such as susceptible, exposed, infected, recovered or dead states and these states change with time. |
