Abstract

In this paper, the cusp catastrophe model is applied to analyze the railway dangerous goods transportation system risk state changes. Firstly, a Risk-Accident Catastrophe Tree is proposed to formulate the process that how the risk factors cause the accident. Secondly, the whole risk factors are classified into five categories including failure of human behavior, machine failure, transported materials, environment problems and management problems. Next, the cusp catastrophe model of railway dangerous goods transportation system is established, the Split Coefficient is defined to evaluate bifurcation set. The results of the case study show that the risk state changes of railway dangerous goods transportation system satisfy bimodality, inaccessibility, sudden transitions and divergence, but not satisfy hysteresis. The larger the Split Coefficient is, the easier the trajectory of system control point crosses with bifurcation sets. The reason of the system state changes from a safe state to a risk state is: as long as the trajectory of system control point crosses with bifurcation sets, there must be a cusp catastrophe in the system, and the system control point will cross the fold surface, which makes the risk energy increase sharply, the structure, information and energy of the system will also be destroyed.
