Zusammenfassung:•Explore how mobile phone location data are applied to capture disaster information.•Link pre-positioning and real-time response operations for integrated optimization.•Propose a preparedness-response two-stage integrated stochastic programming model.•Provide management insight on mobile phone location data in disaster relief field. Uncertainty of disaster information severely hinders efficiency of disaster relief operations. This paper explores how mobile phone location data are applied to capture rapidly accurate disaster information and proposes a preparedness-response two-stage scenario-based stochastic programming model with mobile phone location data for integrated pre-positioning and real-time response operation optimization. The Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition approach based on Lagrange duality and branch-and-bound algorithm are adopted to solve this model. The applicability of the model is proved via a real-world case study on the Haiti earthquake. Numerical experiments are performed to offer important managerial implications and insights in disaster management, especially for large-scale disasters.
