Route selection is the first and significant step for hazardous liquid railway network design project. Not only the economy, but the safety factors need to be considered for making a comprehensive analysis and determining an appropriate design plan. However, the railway network route selection is a complex multi-objective decision problem. Considering the construction cost and safety factors of hazardous liquid railway, this paper proposed a multi-objective optimization model. Considering the impact metrics, air pollution, river pollution, soil-underground water pollution, sensitive area and emergency system, a comprehensive risk assessment model was further built. The weight of each metric was decided by expert scoring. Based on index pricing method, risk factors were considered into maintenance and operation cost. Aiming at the strong non-linearity, a three-stage method was adopted to solve the problem. A virtual case and a real case with two refineries as sources and two terminals in midwestem China were studied in this paper. The construction schemes of hazardous liquid railway network in the study region were obtained by using the proposed method with considering the complex geographical and social environment. The effect of algorithm parameters on model was discussed in paper. Due to the high subjectivity of the emergency system score, the sensitivity of which was further analyzed. The practicality of the proposed method was verified through the case study.

Spatial and Temporal Effects of Digital Technology Development on Carbon Emissions: Evidence from China

Keyong Zhang, Sulun Li, Peng Qin, Bohong Wang

Summary: In the context of digital economy and low carbon economy, digital technology plays a crucial role in achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. A study based on the panel data of 30 Chinese provinces from 2011 to 2019 found that digital technology development has a positive impact on reducing carbon emissions in the region in both the short term and long term. However, the spatial spillover effect of digital technology on carbon emissions in neighboring regions is not significant. Policy makers should consider spatial effects when promoting the application of digital technologies in environmental governance.

Direct measurement of methane emissions from the upstream oil and gas sector: Review of measurement results and technology advances (2018-2022)

Xinxiang Yang, Ergun Kuru, Xiuyuan Zhang, Shuyu Zhang, Rui Wang, Jihong Ye, Dingding Yang, Jiri Jaromir Klemes, Bohong Wang

Summary: This paper reviews recent direct measurement results and technological advances in the upstream oil and gas sector. The findings show that the increasing methane emissions deviate from the goals of the Paris Agreement. No consensus was found on the correlation between methane emissions and well data items. Aircraft surveys were the most frequently used technology. Developed countries lead in direct measurement, with only 12.5% of studies conducted in developing countries. Mitigating super-emitters and reported venting and flares could reduce methane emissions by 20% and 25% respectively. China, the world's largest methane emitter, emitted approximately 2135 kt methane from its upstream oil and gas sector, mainly through venting. Direct methane measurements and government management could assist China in prioritising carbon emission reduction.

Yu-Jie Chen, Dongliang Sun, Bo Yu, Bohong Wang, Wei Lu, Wei Zhang

Summary: This paper proposes a horizontal refined piecewise linear interface reconstruction (HOPLIRE) method for the numerical research of two-phase problems in incompressible flow. The method reconstructs the two-phase interface within one grid cell using multiple horizontal refined pieces, making implementation straightforward and allowing easy computation of the volume fraction flux for solving the VOF function. The HOPLIRE method not only has a simple implementation but also achieves high accuracy in reconstructing the vapor-liquid interface. The performance of the VOSET-HOPLIRE method is verified through comparisons with other popular methods, demonstrating good accuracy and efficiency. Further improvements to extend the method to three-dimensional problems and unstructured meshes are expected in the future.

Dynamic risk assessment of chemical process systems using the System-Theoretic accident model and process approach (STAMP) in combination with cascading failure propagation model (CFPM)

Hao Sun, Haiqing Wang, Ming Yang, Genserik Reniers

Summary: To maintain continuous production, chemical plant operators may choose to ignore or handle faults online rather than shutting down process systems. However, the interaction and interdependence between components in a digitalized process system are significant, and faults can propagate to downstream nodes, potentially leading to risk accumulation and major accidents. This study proposes a dynamic risk assessment method that integrates the system-theoretic accident model and process approach (STAMP) with the cascading failure propagation model (CFPM) to model the risk accumulation process. The proposed method is applied to a Chevron refinery crude unit and demonstrates its effectiveness in quantifying the process of risk accumulation and providing real-time dynamic risk profiles for decision-making.

Effects of flight crew role assignment on aviation accidents and incidents: Evidence of a systemic safety issue

Tom Becker, Peter Ayton

Summary: By analyzing global civil aviation data, we found that there is a significant increase in the number of accidents and safety critical incidents, as well as the fatalities, when the Pilot-in-Command acts as the Pilot Flying instead of the Pilot Monitoring. Most of these events occurred in technically airworthy aircraft without any emergencies, and the flight crew assessed them as preventable. These findings align with the crew assignment effect, suggesting that role-dependent status hierarchy and cognitive overload contribute to ineffective flight crew teamwork. The measures implemented to enhance flight crew teamwork, such as Crew Resource Management training, have not been successful in preventing these issues.
