Abstract

In this paper, an Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) and Bayesian Network (BN) combining approach is applied to analyze the relationships and interaction strengths among the risk factors or accident causes of railway dangerous goods transportation system (RDGTS), quantitatively. According to the statistical data, 17 sub-indicators are concluded and applied as the nodes in BN. Based on the 17 sub-indicators and with the help of experts, the combined ISM and BN approach is used to analyze the system risk with seven steps: establish the relation matrix, calculate the reachability matrix, divide the reachability matrix into different levels, form the directed graph, form the Bayesian Network, establish the prior marginal and conditional probabilities of the sub-indicators in the BN, causal reasoning for the BN and obtain the final probabilities of occurrence for all sub-indicators. The conditional probability tables (CPTs) are used to express the relationships and interaction strengths among the nodes and the parent node variables. The final analysis results show that the sub-indicator, staffs are lack of technical and knowledge during transportation processes, has the highest impact to the RDGTS with probability 0.74, and the sudden natural disaster has the weakest impact to the RDGTS with probability 0.05.
