Accordingly, this study presents the first in-depth systematic review and bibliometric analysis of the vital role played by HF in enhancing the safety and reliability of air transportation. Employing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline, we scrutinized the Scopus dataset spanning from 1937 to late 2023. A rigorous screening process was applied to identify relevant documents, ultimately subjecting critical analyses of 1663 documents to address four foundational research questions within HF associated with aviation safety. First, our analysis delves into the identification of key areas of emphasis that have characterized HF in the aviation industry since 1937. By tracing the trajectory of research over time, the study aims to discern the evolution of HF within the aviation context. Furthermore, an exploration of primary challenges and knowledge gaps crucial to research is highlighted, with proposed pathways for future investigations to maximize their impact on air transportation safety. Finally, the study extends its inquiry to compare the existing landscape of human reliability research within the aviation sector with that of Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) and the Chemical Process Industry (CPI). This holistic approach to understanding HF not only contributes valuable insights into aviation safety but also contextualizes these findings within broader industrial frameworks, revealing the key gaps that exist in human reliability within the aviation industry. The outcomes of this study underscore the indispensable role of HF in establishing and advancing safer and more resilient air transportation systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":62710,"journal":{"name":"安全科学与韧性(英文)","volume":"7 1","pages":"Article 100249"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145095496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A case study focused on hospital emergency evacuations was conducted, wherein factors influencing panic propagation were divided into individual and group levels. The population was classified into three categories—staff, caregivers, and patients—and the effect of the ratio of these categories on evacuation efficiency was examined.

By analyzing the mechanisms governing the performance state evolution of urban lifeline systems under disaster scenarios, integrating a disaster scenario model with resilience assessment methodologies, and comprehensively considering three key resilience components—resistance, recovery, and adaptability—we develop a system dynamics resilience‒reliability (SDR-R) model. A hypothetical case study is conducted to validate the model’s applicability. The results indicate that the interplay of resistance, recovery, and adaptability influences the dynamic evolution of system performance across three states: disability performance, survivability performance, and recovery performance. The model reveals a cyclical pattern in resilience enhancement, with adaptability emerging as a critical determinant. Moreover, the SDR-R model not only simulates urban lifeline performance state evolution under single disaster scenarios but also captures resilience evolution trends over long-term system operations. The case study findings reveal that resilience decreases as disaster severity intensifies, yet positive feedback from adaptability fosters resilience improvement over time. The process of resilience evolution can be divided into four distinct phases: initial impact, adaptive priming, adaptive enhancement, and threshold effect. Notably, resilience dynamics vary significantly across disaster levels. While systems exhibit high resilience under low-level disasters, resilience gradually stabilizes at a high level in medium- and high-level disaster scenarios. However, extreme disasters introduce greater fluctuations in resilience, underscoring the necessity for targeted resilience-enhancing strategies. The insights derived from this study offer methodological guidance for understanding urban lifeline resilience evolution and developing strategies to enhance system robustness.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":62710,"journal":{"name":"安全科学与韧性(英文)","volume":"6 4","pages":"Article 100231"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144863741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
