Connectionism Strategy for Industrial Accident-Oriented Emergency Decision-Making: A Simulation Study Based on PCS Model

Abstract

Connectionism strategy is widely used by the policymaker to implement the emergency rescue activities in industrial accidents, exploring its mechanism is helpful to deeply understand the mechanism of behavioural change of policymakers during emergency decision-making procedure. In this study, the emergency process and influential factors as well as three types of emergency disposal schemes, when the connectionism strategy was adopted for rescue activities in coal mining accidents, were qualitatively analysed and concluded. Then, an improved simulation model was proposed based on Parallel Constraint Satisfaction (PCS) model. Lastly an algorithm written in MATLAB was employed to model and explore the influential mechanism of the negative emotion and the concern of policymakers as well as the mode of decision-making tasks on decision time and decision confidence. Results demonstrate that, the higher the policymakers' negative emotion, the shorter the decision time and the higher level of decision confidence they have. Under different modes of decision tasks, the more difficult it is to identify the superiority and inferiority of different disposal schemes, the more decision time the policymakers need and the lower level of decision confidence they have, the decision confidence is more sensitive to the mode of decision-making task, meanwhile the negative emotion and the concern of policymakers have different effects on decision time and decision confidence. Compared with the concern on cues, policymakers' decision confidence is much higher when they focus more on schemes. The study reveals the mechanism of connectionism strategy adopted for emergency rescue activities in industrial accidents, which has a profound significance for optimizing emergency decision support systems for industrial accident management and enhancing the quality of emergency decision-making.

Assessment of Urban Community Emergency Preparedness and Response Capacity Using Entropy Weight Method and Multilayer Fuzzy Comprehensive Model

“…Urban community emergency management capacity building is complex and can be affected by a variety of internal and external factors, which can jointly restrict community emergency management capacity building. This study is based on an in-depth investigation and the literature [20][21][22][23][24][25], but because many variables can affect the emergency management level of urban communities, some types of data are difficult to collect. In the construction of the index system, this study follows the principles of the scientific nature, comprehensiveness, applicability, and maneuverability of the index system and screens the emergency preparedness and response capacity indicators of urban communities from four aspects: the prevention and preparation mechanism, monitoring and early warning mechanism, response and rescue mechanism, and recovery and reconstruction mechanism.…”

Game Research on Coal Mine Workers’ Off‐Post Behaviors

“…The normal revenue of the coal mine is RMB 150 million, and the inspection cost of the safety inspection department is set as RMB 150,000. Statistics demonstrate that accidents caused by off-post behaviors account for 40% with a total loss of approximately RMB 10 million; this coal mine implements a punishment-centered management mode, and the punishment amount of off-post coal miners is calculated at approximately RMB 300,000 [20].…”
