Latest ArticlesTaking improving the safety and efficiency of tower crane operation as an example,a method of integrated identification of fatigue state and unsafe behavior was proposed in order to detect the potential safety hazards of drivers in real time. A live video stream was captured via a camera,and the video was analyzed and pre-processed to extract critical information for identifying subsequent fatigue and unsafe behavior. In terms of fatigue state recognition,the analysis method based on the state of eyes and mouth was used to monitor the physiological indicators such as the state of eyes opening and closing,the blink frequency and yawn frequency. In terms of unsafe behavior identification,computer vision and deep learning technology were combined to detect the potential dangerous operations of drivers in real time,thus ensuring timely detection of safety risks. The results show that the performance of the optimized YOLOv5-ECA(Efficient Channel Attention) model is significantly improved in fatigue state and unsafe behavior recognition. The accuracy rate and recall rate of the model on the test set are more than 90%,showing good recognition ability.
To ensure the safety of personnel and property within the storage environment,the traditional YOLOv11 object detection algorithm was improved,and a method and model to identify unsafe behaviors of personnel in the complex environment of tobacco warehouses were proposed. First,a statistical analysis of common unsafe behavior types in tobacco storage was conducted,and the classification of unsafe behaviors of warehouse personnel was explored,including item-related,action-related,and area-related unsafe behaviors.

In order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of safety risk management in machinery manufacturing enterprises,the Bayesian network and machine vision technology were combined. Based on improved YOLOv5,Intersection over Union(IoU) values of safety hazard events occurring at the operation site were calculated. By leveraging the audit risk assessment in conjunction with AHP to derive the danger weights,the prior probabilities of the root nodes of Bayesian network were determined.

At the same time,the model also successfully realizes the effective combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis,integrates the expert experience and data quantification results,and confirms each other,so that the risk assessment results have a certain improvement in scientificity and reliability,which can provide a practical new idea for safety risk management.
To meet the requirements of the future Trajectory-Based Operation (TBO) mode,improve air traffic safety and efficiency,and obtain executable four-dimensional (4D) trajectory results with multi-point control,this study first established a fundamental 4D trajectory dynamics model by integrating atmospheric environment modeling,aircraft point-mass motion modeling,and performance modeling. Subsequently,a 4D trajectory simulation framework was developed using Simulink to validate the executability of the fundamental dynamics model. Following this,an optimal control-based 4D trajectory waypoint control model was constructed with reference trajectories as optimization targets,where the waypoint control problem was transformed into a nonlinear programming problem through the Radau pseudospectral method. Finally,comparative analyses were conducted using historical flight data from QAR. Results demonstrate that the simulated velocity and mass parameters exhibit zero deviation from QAR records,while median errors in longitude,latitude,and altitude are 0.000 11°,0.001 2°,and 19.24 m,respectively,all satisfying safety separation requirements. Critical parameters including position,time,and heading angle at selected waypoints showed zero deviation. Notably,strict control of 13 waypoints is achieved within a 65-minute flight segment.
To accurately and efficiently detect fires in complex tunnel environments,an enhanced YOLOv8s-based tunnel fire detection algorithm was proposed. Firstly,the Cross-Stage Partial Transformer Block (CSP-PTB) module was introduced to reconstruct the backbone network structure,thereby reducing computational complexity while preserving feature extraction capabilities. Secondly,CBAM was integrated to enhance the perception of the model of key areas and improve the discriminative power of feature representation.

To comprehensively and efficiently analyze and evaluate chemical process risks,a risk analysis and evaluation auxiliary system for chemical processes was designed and developed based on SDG and CBR. The system was integrated with foundational verification functions for layer of protection analysis (LOPA) and safety integrity level (SIL),enabling semi-quantitative risk analysis and evaluation.

The results demonstrate that the system aligns closely with the independent risk evaluation outcomes of the enterprise,exhibiting strong practicality and reliability. The SDG-CBR coupling reasoning mechanism is verified to overcome the reliance of traditional HAZOP on manual experience,achieving a qualitative-to-semi-quantitative transformation in hazard identification while enhancing evaluation efficiency and accuracy.
In order to improve and advance the nuclear radiation detection and monitoring integrated technology based on pixel sensors,a radiation noise suppression and nuclear detection method leveraging the parallel advantages of FPGA was proposed,with corresponding programs developed. By analyzing the characteristics of radiation noise signals,radiation noise suppression and two-dimensional wavelet transform programs based on FPGA were developed to output clear radiation field images.

To address the safety risks caused by rapid fire spread and thermal smoke accumulation in confined spaces such as basements and underground warehouses due to lithium-ion electric bicycle fires,this study combines experimental and numerical simulation methods to investigate the temperature field evolution,flame characteristics,and smoke diffusion behavior of lithium-ion electric bicycle combustion under different ambient temperatures,clarifying the effect of temperature on combustion characteristics. The results show that under experimental conditions,the average temperature at the combustion center in the confined space is approximately 600 ℃,with a peak temperature exceeding 920 ℃. Ambient temperature significantly affects the initial stage of lithium-ion electric bicycle combustion. In a 40 ℃ environment,the time for combustion to enter the rapid development phase is shortened by 20 seconds compared to 20 and 0 ℃ environments. The time required for nearby temperatures to reach the ignition point of the lithium-ion electric bicycle is reduced by approximately 25 seconds compared to 20 and 0 ℃ environments. After about 80 seconds,the temperature rise rates converge. At 20 seconds,the flame morphology of lithium-ion electric bicycle combustion differs noticeably across environments:the flame height at 40 ℃ is approximately 1.15 times that at 20 ℃ and 1.32 times that at 0 ℃. Flame morphology converges after about 80 seconds. Within the first 30 seconds,the smoke diffusion velocity and production rate in a 40 ℃ environment are significantly higher than those at 20 and 0 ℃,but smoke concentrations stabilize to similar levels after approximately 50 seconds.
