Study on Evaluation Model of Emergency Rescue Capability of Chemical Accidents Based on PCA‐BP

Abstract

The emergency management of chemical accidents plays an important role in preventing the expansion of chemical accidents. In recent years, the evaluation and research of emergency management of chemical accidents has attracted the attention of many scholars. However, as an important part of emergency management, the professional rescue team of chemicals has few evaluation models for their capabilities. In this study, an emergency rescue capability assessment model based on the PCA-BP neural network is proposed. Firstly, the construction status of 11 emergency rescue teams for chemical accidents in Shanghai is analyzed, and an index system for evaluating the capabilities of emergency rescue teams for chemicals is established. Secondly, the principal component analysis (PCA) is used to perform dimension reduction and indicators’ weight acquisition on the original index system to achieve an effective evaluation of the capabilities of 11 rescue teams. Finally, the indicators after dimensionality reduction are used as the input neurons of the backpropagation (BP) neural network, the characteristic data of eight rescue teams are used as the training set, and the comprehensive scores of three rescue teams are used for verifying the generalization ability of the evaluation model. The result shows that the proposed evaluation model based on the PCA-BP neural network can effectively evaluate the rescue capability of the emergency rescue teams for chemical accidents and provide a new idea for emergency rescue capability assessment.

Knowledge Modeling for Emergency Rescue of Maritime Hazardous Chemicals Accident

“…Based on the three-stage model proposed by Davis [4][5][6], this paper divides the emergency response to waterborne hazardous chemical accidents into three stages: emergency preparedness, emergency response, and emergency recovery. Drawing on the US FEMA's Capability Assessment for Readiness (CAR) and Japan's "Disaster Emergency Response Capability Assessment Index System" [7,8], a total of 74 targeted elements in 17 groups were selected, and the secondary indicators in the emergency relief element assessment system were numbered to construct an emergency element assessment set (see the Table 1).…”

Multi-index comprehensive evaluation model for assessing risk to trainees in an emergency rescue training base for building collapse

“…Currently, an effective emergency training system is in place, which can cover a vast range of events and offer support in scenarios affecting both commercial enterprises and private individuals 8 , 9 . Presently, emergency training systems and research into building collapse scenarios in China are relatively immature when compared with researches conducted by European countries and the USA regarding emergency training 10 – 12 . Multiple training areas can be considered as subdivisions of the emergency training scenarios for use after a building collapse and various training courses are conducted 13 .…”

Research on Integrated Scheduling of Multi-Mode Emergency Rescue for Flooding in Chemical Parks

“…Reniers et al [12] used mathematical networks to demonstrate that the disaster resilience of chemical parks obeys a power-law distribution and also illustrated the attenuation-based safety of chemical parks with examples. Liu et al [13] proposed a PCA-BP neural network-based emergency rescue capability assessment model to evaluate the professional capability of chemical professional emergency rescue teams. Wang et al [14] constructed an evaluation model for the emergency response capacity of environmental pollution accidents with a small town as the research object.…”
