Summary

Proposes AcciNet-RFs, a task-based scenario-network method for analyzing highway HAZMAT (hazardous-materials) crash scenarios on Chinese highways. The framework integrates transportation tasks, participants, and safety risk factors into structured networks that reconstruct crash evolution; it was illustrated on the 6.13 Wenling tank-truck explosion. A multi-level risk-assessment model assigns risk values to tasks and crashes, supporting movement from risk assessment toward proactive risk management.

Key finding

Task-based scenario networks (AcciNet-RFs) can systematically reconstruct highway HAZMAT crash evolution and quantify multi-level task and crash risks, providing a mechanism-grounded basis for HAZMAT crash prevention beyond statistical or causal-model approaches.

Methodology

Method development and case-study application. Historical HAZMAT crash cases were structured into AcciNet-RFs scenario networks; a worked example reconstructed the 6.13 Wenling tank-truck explosion in China, and a risk-assessment model computed task and crash risk values across levels.
