5. Conclusion
Based on the statistics of all 902 accidents occurred during 2013-2016 and analyzing the data with the method of Bayesian network, we can get such conclusions:
1) Comparing with fault tree and bow tie model etc, Bayesian network can better illustrate the casual relationships of all nodes in detail.
2) With the help of Bayesian network, an estimate of the handling time of transportation accidents of HAZMAT can be obtained. We can use this model to predict the probability of totally handling the accident within 0-2h, 2-4h and more than 4 h with the preliminary information from alarm calls.
3) The posterior probability of adjusting node D via Bayesian network is 1, it can help us ration the difficulty of handling different kinds of former accidents and secondary accidents. The result is as followed: rollover> rear-end> internal fault ≈ impact> falling> tire fault> vehicle body fire. Leakage>combustion explosion.
