Abstract

Urban lifeline Natech events are coupled systems composed of multiple risks and entities with complex dynamic transmission chains. Predicting risk evolution probabilities is the core task for achieving the safety management of urban lifeline Natech events. First, the risk evolution mechanism is analyzed, where urban lifeline Natech events exhibit spatial evolution characteristics, which involves dissecting the parallel and synergistic effects of risk evolution in spatial dimensions. Next, based on fitting marginal probability distribution functions for natural hazard and urban lifeline risk evolution, a Multi-dimensional Copula (MdC) function for the joint probability distribution of urban lifeline Natech event risk evolution is constructed. Building upon the MdC function, a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) model for predicting risk evolution probabilities of urban lifeline Natech events is developed using the Metropolis–Hastings (M-H) algorithm and Gibbs sampling. Finally, taking the 2021 Zhengzhou ‘7·20’ catastrophic rainstorm as a case study, joint probability distribution functions for risk evolution under Rainfall-Wind speed scenarios are fitted for traffic, electric, communication, water supply, and drainage systems (including different risk transmission chains). Numerical simulations of joint probability distributions for risk evolution are conducted, and visualizations of joint probability predictions for risk evolution are generated.
