Through bibliometric and systematic review methodologies, key areas of investigation, such as risk management, safety routing, and emergency response, were identified. A strong international collaborative network was revealed, with significant emphasis on managing risks. However, critical topics such as human factors, resilience engineering, and security were found to be underexplored. Despite advancements in risk assessment, important gaps remained in addressing dynamic risks and improving model validation using real-world data. Furthermore, it was concluded that future research should address these gaps while enhancing existing methodologies. This review provided a comprehensive analysis of the current research landscape, highlighting areas requiring further exploration and offering valuable insights into improving the safety and sustainability of Hazmat transportation systems. The findings are expected to guide future research efforts and inform policy development, ultimately contributing to the reduction of risks associated with Hazmat transport and advancing safer practices in this essential sector.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":62710,"journal":{"name":"安全科学与韧性(英文)","volume":"7 1","pages":"Article 100226"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145095495","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}

Such VCEs generate a blast wave that propagates away from the explosion, potentially damaging nearby structures. The TNO Multi-Energy Method is commonly used for a simplified estimate of the blast load resulting from a VCE. The method characterises the severity and duration of the blast wave using a case-specific strength class and combustion energy (which the method relates to the gas volume of the equivalent blast source). However, no specific guidelines for estimating the strength class in urban roads or related settings (such as carparks) are currently available in the literature. This makes implementing the method in such scenarios challenging and imprecise. The authors’ work used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to evaluate multiple gas explosion scenarios and proposed recommendations for determining the strength class and gas volume at the blast source. These scenarios comprised a group of vehicles engulfed by a stoichiometric propane-air cloud. It was concluded that the strength class could be reasonably estimated based on the number of vehicles in the transverse direction. Furthermore, the guidance for estimating the gas volume at the equivalent blast source was based on the critical gas volume, after which no further enhancement of overpressure was obtained. The recommendations were implemented in several scenarios and compared with corresponding CFD analyses. The results showed very good agreement for predicting impulse. Predicting overpressure was affected by the inherent asymmetry of the scenarios, although it was possible to achieve acceptable and conservative results.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":62710,"journal":{"name":"安全科学与韧性(英文)","volume":"7 1","pages":"Article 100222"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144926183","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}

First, the complete and co-occurrence graphs were constructed and encoded using different graph convolutional networks, generating different embedding views for entities and facts. Second, entity-level and fact-level contrastive objectives were designed to enhance information exchange between the two levels in a self-supervised manner. Finally, a linear transformation corresponding to the ordinal information of each element was used to integrate positional constraints into the representation of the HKG.

This study systematically investigates the coupled effects of pipe diameter and ammonia addition proportions on self-ignition during high-pressure hydrogen leaks. Utilizing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques integrated with the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and the Eddy Dissipation Concept (EDC) combustion model, the effects of ammonia addition proportions (0 %∼15 %) on shockwave propagation characteristics and critical self-ignition conditions are analyzed for a range of pipeline diameters (5 mm, 10 mm, and 15 mm). A constant volume zero-dimensional homogeneous adiabatic reactor model in Chemkin-Pro was utilized to analyze the generation and consumption rates of H₂ and O₂, together with the corresponding elementary reaction kinetics. Principal findings indicate that increasing the ammonia mixing ratio significantly reduces the generation and consumption rates of H₂ and O₂, suppresses elementary reaction intensities, and elevates the threshold for self-ignition. Notably, mild ammonia blending produces suppression effects comparable to pipeline diameter expansion. A 5 % NH₃ mixture decreases the critical release pressure for a 5 mm pipeline from 1.61 MPa to 1.42 MPa, equivalent to the suppression efficacy of increasing the pipeline to 15 mm in pure air conditions. Furthermore, the combined chemical-physical synergistic mechanism between ammonia addition and diameter scaling amplifies ignition inhibition. In a 15 mm pipeline with 15 % NH₃ blending, the intensity of the leading shockwave after hydrogen leakage decreases by 23.18 % compared to a 5 mm pure-air pipeline, while the critical release pressure for ignition increases by a factor of 2.57.

This paper suggests that shifting from a single decision maker to a human–machine collaboration approach is a potential solution. However, current research on human–machine collaboration in intelligent vehicles primarily focuses on intelligent systems that assist the driver, rather than treating the driver and the system as equals. This approach overlooks the role of the driver in helping the system, lacks effective communication, and diminishes the sense of collaborative cooperation, all of which hinder the promotion of efficient, safe, and stable driving. Inspired by the aviation approach to risk management through Crew Resource Management (CRM), this study introduces the Collaborative Operation Mode (CO-Mode) for intelligent vehicles. Based on CO-Mode’s requirements for human–machine collaborative perception, decision making, and control, the Autonomous Vehicle Collaborative Resource Management (AV-CRM) is proposed. In addition, challenges and future perspectives are explored by analyzing the abilities and limitations of relevant technologies.
