Critical infrastructures (CIs) embody cyber-physical-social systems (CPSSs) where physical entities are integrated with cyber components, shaping service delivery through end-user behavior. The seamless operation of CIs is vital for society, and the CPSS resilience relies on interdependencies with AI-integrated technologies. The complexity of the system, and the interconnections with other infrastructures, along with the socio-technical transition towards digitization raised the necessity of implementing Resilience Engineering. This motivates exploration of the scientific literature on resilience key performance indicators (R-KPIs) which support strategies for ensuring service continuity. Therefore, this article aims to identify R-KPIs for AI-integrated CIs and prioritize the extracted R-KPIs using a hybrid Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) approach. The results show the importance of employing R-KPIs that measure risk probability, energy self-sufficiency level of the system under study, and performance indicators including functionality loss, recovery time, and minimum performance level after disturbance as the most effective R-KPIs in the domain of this study. After identifying and prioritizing the R-KPIs, a general framework is proposed to employ these R-KPIs in modeling the resilience of a CPS. Finally, a case study demonstrates the implementation of the framework and KPIs in a real-life scenario.

This paper explores the challenges of controlling complex metro systems, which are influenced by uncertain and uncontrollable large passenger flow impacts. Traditionally, flow-limiting measures during peak periods have been based on experience rather than scientific theory. To bridge this gap, we introduce a novel network analysis method inspired by control centrality theory. This approach assesses the impact of traffic loads from single or multiple sources on any node within the metro network. Our method provides a scientific basis for operators to develop policies for managing overloaded traffic, enhancing both safety and efficiency in metro system operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted startups, disrupting operations, consumer behavior, and market dynamics. Addressing these challenges necessitates an in-depth analysis of startups' vulnerabilities and the development of effective strategies to bolster their resilience and sustainability. This study introduces a combined thematic analysis and system dynamics approach to enhance startups' resilience during the pandemic. A qualitative thematic analysis was employed to identify the key factors influencing resilience. Semi-structured interviews with 12 experts provided data categorized into 21 themes across four dimensions: team, founder, human resources, and startup characteristics. Building on the qualitative phase, a system dynamics model was developed, comprising 32 auxiliary variables, five flow variables, four constants, and four stock variables. Four scenarios were devised to evaluate resilience within this model, reflecting varying degrees of financial strength, government support, and crisis management improvements. The results highlight the effectiveness of Scenario 4, which achieved the highest resilience improvement, driven by a 5 % increase in financial strength, a 5 % increase in government support, and a 10 % enhancement in crisis management. These findings offer critical insights for stakeholders and researchers seeking to strengthen startup resilience during crises.

The cellular automaton (CA) model is an essential tool for studying pedestrian evacuation dynamics; moreover, improving simulations of actual evacuation environments and increasing the reliability of evacuation data are important problems for researchers. The complex psychological dynamics of pedestrians during evacuation and the evacuation velocities are essential components of such models. This study proposes and verifies a synchronously updated multi-velocity evacuation impatient CA model with a corresponding time correction formula. Our model that considers pedestrians’ psychological impatience can simulate complex scenarios in which different pedestrians simultaneously evacuate at different speeds. In addition, our model accurately simulates and reproduces the phenomena found in actual experiments: as the self-growth parameter of impatience increases, the evacuation efficiency first increases and then decreases, and as the contagion parameter of impatience increases, the evacuation efficiency decreases. The time correction method and formula are critical for obtaining reliable results from simulations in which pedestrians evacuate at various speeds, and they are expected to be indispensable parts of multi-velocity CA models for predicting complex evacuation scenes.

This paper presents an extensive experimental investigation campaign concerning the thermal fire reaction of firebrands, as they accumulate on the exterior walls of dwellings, a common occurrence in southern Europe. Three types of wall core layers were studied: bricks, designed according to the Exterior Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) methodology, cross-laminated timber (CLT) and normal wood (NW), both utilizing the sandwich methodology. The wall specimens are made of a combination of materials such as three types of mortar (Tria, Sika, and Weber), and various thermal insulation materials, such as agglomerates of composite cork, impermeable membranes, rigid rock wool, fireproof paint, and extruded polystyrene rigid foam (XPS), which are recommended for their good performance against fire and high temperatures. Firebrands are then deposited on the localized surfaces of the wall specimens, and the temperature is recorded in each layer. This study aims to precisely verify the firebrand reaction to fire, including the type of ignition, smoke and droplet production. The insulation capabilities of each insulation and wall system will also be analyzed.

Drones have gradually been employed to search for unknown sources during leakage accidents. However, current studies have mainly focused on the single-source search problem, while in practical situations, the location and quantity of the sources are commonly unknown. Existing multi-source search methods fail to accurately estimate the source term, primarily due to the inefficient utilization of concentration information. This limitation results in sub-optimal drone movement strategies. To address these issues, we propose a Dynamic Likelihood-Weighted Cooperative Infotaxis (DLW-CI) approach. The approach integrates the Infotaxis cognitive search strategy with multi-drone cooperation by optimizing both source term estimation and the cooperative mechanism. Specifically, we devise a novel source term estimation method that leverages multiple parallel particle filters, with each filter estimating the parameters of a potentially unknown source in scenarios. Subsequently, we introduce a cooperative mechanism based on dynamic likelihood weight to prevent multiple drones from concurrently estimating and searching for the same source. The results show that the success rate for the localization of 2–4 diffusion sources reaches 90%, 78%, and 42% respectively when employing the DLW-CI approach, achieving a 37% average improvement over baseline methods. Our findings indicate that the proposed DLW-CI approach significantly improves estimation accuracy and search efficiency for multi-drone cooperative multi-source search, making a valuable contribution to environmental safety monitoring applications.

Unexpected scenarios often occur during typhoon response, which is likely to cause the failure of evacuation vehicle dispatching and other preparedness plans. To solve this problem, a vehicle dispatching plan selecting method based on fault-tolerance analysis is proposed, which considers the bounded rationality of emergency decision-makers. The method improves the capability of responding to unexpected scenarios by increasing backup resources. First, under the expected scenarios, a bi-level programming model for arranging the quantities of each type of vehicle and their routes is established, with the goal of minimizing the expected total evacuation time. A corresponding solving algorithm is designed. Second, possible unexpected scenarios are preset by integrating local and non-local historical experiences, and the scenario influences on vehicle dispatching constraints are analyzed. Third, under unexpected scenarios, a fault-tolerance plan set is established considering the failure risk of vehicle dispatching and fault-tolerant cost. The optimal plan is selected by calculating and ranking fault-tolerant rates. Finally, a case study in Shenzhen, China is provided to verify the reasonability and effectiveness of the method. The results show that the proposed method can help discover and address the ‘fault’ of vehicle dispatching plans during emergency preparedness and thus improve evacuation capabilities in emergency response. The proposed method can be used to develop evacuation vehicle dispatching planning methods with comprehensive scenario adaptability and a precisely improved capability.

Urban underground space disasters exhibit characteristics including complex causal mechanisms and high risk. They also present unpredictability and risk coupling amplification. Differences in underground space safety resilience (USSR) and key pathways of urban agglomerations are issues that remain under-discussed. This study is based on the perspective of resilience genesis, and it constructs a Pressure-State-Response (PSR) analysis framework. This study employs methods such as the composite index method, Dagum Gini coefficient, and fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) to explore the differences in safety resilience levels and key pathways of underground spaces of urban agglomerations. The study offered several findings: (1) The safety resilience index rankings of the five major urban agglomerations, from highest to lowest, are as follows: Chengdu-Chongqing City Group, Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration, Triangle of Central China and Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration. In addition, the underground space safety resilience systems of cities were clustered and categorized into demonstration and leadership type, striving catch-up type, and stable development type. (2) Overall differences between urban agglomerations are reflected in the differences between individual urban agglomerations. The internal development imbalance is the primary reason for the more significant differences in and between the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta urban agglomerations. (3) High-level safety resilience of urban underground space is the result of a multi-factor combination in the PSR framework. In addition, there are four high-level safety resilience configuration paths, and these paths are categorized into three modes: "state-driven response", "pressure-triggered response", and "autonomous response". Policy implications and countermeasures for urban underground space development are proposed for each mode of urban underground space safety resilience. These proposals offer theoretical references for optimizing the safety resilience of underground spaces of urban agglomerations.

In the context of the COVID-19 epidemic, a “double-hazard scenario” consisting of a natural disaster and a public health event simultaneously occurring is more likely to arise. However, compared with single-hazard, multiple disasters confront the challenges of complexity, diversity, and demand urgency. To improve the efficiency of emergency material distribution under multiple disasters, this study first divided multiple disasters into three categories: independent scenario, sequential scenario, and coupling scenario. A set of evaluation index systems for multiple disasters was established to quantify the urgency of demand. The routing optimization model of emergency vehicles for multiple disasters was proposed by combining demand urgency and road damage, and the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) was used to simulate and validate the model. A coupling scenario considering two typical disasters of hurricanes and epidemics was selected as a validation example, and sensitivity analysis was also performed for different algorithms, scenarios, and constraints. The results demonstrated that the proposed model could effectively address the vehicle routing problem of emergency materials in the context of multiple disasters. Compared to the NSGA, the NSGA-II was used to reduce the total delivery time, cost, and penalty cost by 15.98%, 13.60%, and 16.14%, respectively. Compared with the independent scenario, the coupling scenario increased the total delivery time and cost by 186.28% and 132.48% during the epidemic. However, it reduced the total delivery time by 4.00% and increased the delivery cost by 23.55% compared with the hurricane. Compared with the model without consideration, the model considering demand urgency and road damage reduced the total delivery time and cost by 17.88% and 8.73%, respectively. The model constructed in this study addressed the vehicle routing problem considering the demand urgency and road damage in the optimization process, particularly in the context of multiple disasters.

Climate change has become a pressing concern, with an alarming increase in flooding events posing significant risks to residential areas worldwide. As land and infrastructure development rapidly evolve, it is crucial to systematically analyze the bibliometric patterns and methodological trends in flood mitigation research, with a specific focus on residential building flood mitigation. This study presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of the bibliometric patterns and methodological trends in flood mitigation research over the past two decades, identifies prevailing gaps, and proposes future research directions to enhance the effectiveness of flood mitigation strategies. Using data from the Scopus database, 441 publications were objectively selected and subjected to metadata analysis. The study identifies top authors, contributing institutions, nations, and the distribution of contributions across different fields and methodologies. The findings emphasize the need for an integrated and interdisciplinary approach to flood reduction research, considering the complex interplay of social, ecological, and physical dimensions in flood risk management. The study reveals the predominance of modeling and simulation approaches, geographic information systems (GIS) remote sensing approaches, and statistical and data-driven approaches as the most widely employed methodologies. Furthermore, it highlights the growing diversity of approaches, with increasing interest in machine learning algorithms and combined methods. Also, this study provides valuable recommendations for future research, emphasizing the importance of developing effective flood-mitigating strategies to enhance community resilience. It advocates for a multidisciplinary and integrated approach, leveraging geospatial technologies, machine learning algorithms, and collaborative methodologies to advance flood mitigation research and practice. Future research should consider exploring additional databases, including Web of Science, EBSCO, IEEE, and Google Scholar, to conduct a more comprehensive review of the available literature. There is need for future studies to conduct in-depth comparative analyses of flood mitigation methodologies, particularly in the context of residential buildings.
