1 Introduction

According to the high speed railway safety operation researchcarried out in the laboratory of Nanjing University of Scienceand Technology the high speed railway operation failuredirectly caused by bad environments accounts for 29 fromJuly 2011 to December 2012 and comparatively the speedrailway accidents in severe weather take up 814 of the totalones at the same timeThe above statistics thus give us a betterunderstanding of the fact that the bad weather has significanteffects on the high speed railway safety operation

In China the current researches of environment impacton high speed railway can be mainly divided into the follow-ing two categories first themacrodisaster emergency predic-tion and warning system design and second the microen-vironmental factors impact mechanism analysis As to thefirst one Sun et al Wang et al and Tao et al have outlinedsome key problems of high speed railway environment safetysuch as alarm threshold the layout ofmonitoring points traincontrolling mode and the basic component of high speedrailway warning system [1ndash3] Xiao et al Calle-Sanchez et aland Wang et al also made an analysis of the potential factors

Table 1 High speed railway mechanism analysis of environmental impact factors

Environmentalfactor Mechanism

Rainfall

(i) Raining is the foremost factor that is easily causing line fault Additionally the current flow will emerge betweenthe pantograph and overhead line systems of the high speed railway when it comes to a heavy rainy day and the trainpower supply will also be consequently influenced(ii) Rainfall can cause mountain soil landslides that will directly lead to the abnormal operation of the train

Cross wind

(i) The mechanism of the influence caused by horizontal wind on the high speed railway is that it can produce theyawing force which will allow the lateral migration Moreover the produced lift force will lead to the trainderailment through the pneumatic action with the high speed train which will undeniably increase the risk of trainbeing derailed

Lightning (i) Lightning can disrupt the power supply of the high speed railway train traction which will result in the suddenstop of the high speed rail train through breaking down the high speed railway along the circuit devices

Earthquake(i) Earthquake wave can be divided into two kinds the P wave (primary wave pressure wave) and the S wave(secondary wave shear wave) S wave can destroy the building structure and cause the landslides orbital shift andtrain wheel derailment which will influence the safe driving of high speed railway

Temperature

(i) High temperature can lead to a big temperature difference between the internal and external the increase of airconditioning power and the aggravation of the train power supply load Besides high temperature can cause theshort circuit because of the softened line(ii) Cold damp climate will lead to the ice covering membrane on the railway track which will reduce the frictionbetween train and track and increase the risk of a derailment when the train is at high speed turning

Snowfall (i) A lot of snow will cover the track and the ice on the track will increase the degree of danger of the train operation

contend that all the systems can be still well improved on thebasis of the original ordinary railway disaster warning system[11] because there is a certain gap between foreign andChinarsquoshigh speed railway disaster warning systems after a relativelyfair comparison

Through the comparison of present researches betweendomestic and foreign we can find that the domestic highspeed railway disaster prevention is now in a transition fromtheory to practice while foreign high speed railway disasterprevention system has been at a relatively perfect stageTherefore it is an urgentmission for the domestic researchersto make an intensive effort to the theory research of highspeed railway disaster protection and system constructionprocess so as to promote China high speed railway operatingsafety level

2 High Speed Railway Environmental ImpactEvaluation Indexes

21 High Speed Railway Index System of EnvironmentalImpacts The operational problems of the high speed railwayare mainly caused by such uncertain factors as raining thun-dering and lightning horizontal wind earthquake and soforth whose degree of intensitywill directly decide the degreeof danger posing to the high speed railway operation safetyThe analysis of the characteristics of various environmentalfactors in the process of high speed railway operation inrecent years and the conclusion of themechanism of differentenvironmental factors on high speed railway safe operationare presented in Table 1

Besides the six factors listed in Table 1 problems in thehigh speed railway are also being influenced by debris flowand water and rock burst However given the complexity ofgeological conditions and the difficulty of data acquisition we

only use average annual rainfall average annual maximumlightning density annual disaster monsoon winds averagedisasters incidence of monsoon average magnitude gradeaverage incidence of earthquakes average annual maximumsnow depth average highest temperature and average min-imum temperature as the environment factor evaluationindex which are shown in Figure 1

It is necessary to bementioned that the usual climate envi-ronment will not exert any influence upon the operation ofhigh speed railway except typhoon sandstorm blizzard andearthquakes while high or low temperatures have significantinfluence on the operation of high speed railway Thereforewith the exclusive of the average rainfall in Figure 1 otherfactors represent the extreme climate environment Eachenvironmental factor evaluation index calculation formulaand specification is shown in the following equations

22 Demarcation of the Environmental Climate FactorAffected Threshold (Modify)

221 Threshold under Horizontal Wind Influence The rep-resentative research about the effects of horizontal wind onhigh speed railway train running is conducted preciously inJapan which calculates the horizontal wind velocity underthe condition of critical capsize under different runningspeed by wind tunnel experiment and takes the criticalwind speed as the threshold of Shinkansen disaster warning(Table 2) Chinarsquos high speed railway line train CRH series arecharacterized by the similar features with those of Japanesetrain in the shape and the axle load Therefore the JapaneseShinkansen warning horizontal wind speed is adopted asthe influencing factors of high speed railway in our countryhorizontal wind threshold

222 Threshold under Earthquake Influence In terms ofthe research results at home and abroad the calculation ofearthquake alarm threshold (EAT) of high speed railway canbe referred to as the following formula (9)

EAT = 119860119863

(9)

Table 4 The annual rainfall threshold of high speed railway

Rank Very serious Serious General Slight No effectAnnual rainfall gt2970mm 1980mm 900mm 600mm lt600mm

where 119860 is the maximum lateral acceleration thresholdensuring that the normal operation of the train can withstandwithout orbit (Gal) 119863 is the maximum dynamic responsecoefficient of various structures of railway under differentseismic wave excitation and suggestive value is 255

Researches show that when

case 119860 ge 120Gal the train begins to pourcase 119860 ge 240Gal the train will completely overturn

Therefore we define 119860 = 240Gal and 119860 = 120Galas the threshold of strong impact and general impact onthe safe operation of the high speed railway train Andthe earthquake magnitude threshold of high speed railwayoperation is calculated by different value method which isshown in Table 3

223 Threshold under Rain Influence Domestic railwaydepartment limits the train running speed based on the sizeof the rain

If the rain runs moderately which lasts 12 (or 24)hours and the rainfall capacity arrives at 100mmndash229mm(17mmndash379mm) its speed should be reduced

If the rain runs in a heavy rainy day which lasts 12 (or 24)hours and the rainfall capacity reaches 230mmndash499mm(330mmndash749mm) the railway lines are supposed to beblocked and the train operation is supposed to be prohibited

For the sake of dimensional consistency we can turnthe hour rainfall volume into annual rainfall volume bythe following method it is universal knowledge that ourcountryrsquos rain season will experience a period of 3 monthsthat can be calculated by 12 rainfall times thus we categorizethe annual rainfall volume into 900mm 1980mm and2970mm respectively as the moderate rainfall city heavyrainfall city and the storm rainfall city Accordingly we cancalculate rainfall threshold effects on high speed railwaycompared with the provisions of the railway departments inTable 4

224 Other Environmental Factors Threshold The currenttheoretical researches both at home and abroad pay less atten-tion to the lightning snowing temperature and snowfallwhich will definitely bring some influences on the charac-teristics of the high speed railway operations Because it isdifficult to set up a uniform standard to measure the factorsexperts suggest that the reference value and the method ofcombining qualitative analysis can be employed to determine

what degree of lightning snow and temperature influencingthe high speed rail threshold The environment impactassessment index of high speed railway can be discriminatedas in Table 5

3 High Speed Railway Environmental ImpactsAttribute Recognition Model

Attribute recognition model is in essence the problems ofmultidimensional space between sample and attributionwhich is proposed by professor Cheng and has been widelyused in evaluation and classification The sample space 119883 =

1199091 1199092 1199093 119909

31 has been calculated in 31 provinces and

autonomous regions in our country among which eachhas been given nine high speed rail environmental impactindexes as 119868

119895(119895 = 1 2 9) and the 119895th environmental

impact assessment index value in the 119894th region is expressedas 119909119894119895(119894 = 1 2 31 119895 = 1 2 9) 119865 is defined on a

sample space 119883 ordered split sets where the environmentalimpact is divided into five progressive ways as serious severemoderate mild model and no effect An ordered set of splitis defined as 119865 = 119862

1 1198622 1198623 1198624 1198625 which is in accordance

with the relationship as 1198621≻ 1198622≻ 1198623≻ 1198624≻ 1198625

Each ordered set is then to be split into a collection ofenvironmental evaluation threshold segmentation classes Tomake a clear illustration of the ordered stripe set a standardform has been set up as follows

its shortcomings because data should be standardized beforehandling bias and the separated index weights should alsobe determined What is more the last attribute recognitionresult is relative

However there is no certain way to evaluate the relativeimportance of objective indicators in a fairly wayThe essenceof attribute recognition is to determine the attributes spacesimilarity and methods used to calculate the spatial distanceare Euclidean distance Ming distance and Mahalanobisdistance Todeschini et al and Kayaalp and Arslan assert thatthe Mahalanobis distance has the advantages of weakeningthe correlation between impact indicators and automaticweight in the index calculation based on data changes [15 16]

Therefore in order to compensate for normal functionwe use Mahalanobis distance as the measurement functionto build the attribute recognition model

level which accounts for 549 It is notable that in additionto Sichuan the high speed railway environment impacts inthe serious level areas are mostly distributed in coastal areasand northern regions while Chinese abdominal regions aremostly in the medium and light level (see Figure 2)

For further analysis security score in the areas of theserious level should be calculated by means of gradingcriterion All kinds of scores are clarified in Table 8

The calculation results show that Sichuan has the lowestscores of 62460 followed by 63280 in Heilongjiang and63489 in Xinxiang and Yunnan has the highest score of7223

42 High Speed Railway Line Safety Environment AnalysisThere are 25 high speed railway operational lines in ourcountry currently which constitute the total mileage of 10192kilometers Most of the high speed railways are located insoutheast of China where complex geological accidents suchas landslip earthquake and other geological disasters take

place frequently The high speed railway environment safetysituation is clearly illustrated in Table 9

The Jinghu line Fuxia line and Huning line mainly goacross regions of Beijing Tianjin Jinan Nanjing ShanghaiHangzhou and so on Most of these regions are located inthe medium impacted or light impacted areas where rainingand storm happen frequently Thus we have to pay attentionto the influence of heavy rain and storm

The Wuguang line and Guangshengang line mainly gocross such cities as Guangzhou Foshan and others inGuangzhou These cities are vulnerable to the typhoon fromcoastal regions which will affect the progress of the highspeed railway

The Yiwan line Suiyu line and Dacheng line go crossWanzhou Suining Shizishan Chengdu or other cities ofSichuan province High speed railway in these areas willsuffer seriously from the tough environment and we shouldpay attention to prevent cost and loss from landslip andearthquake

5 Conclusions

Firstly the papermakes a detailed analysis of the impact fromsuch environment factors as rainfall earthquake lightningwind and snow on the high speed railway safety mechanismOn the basis of the analysis the evaluation index systemof safety has been established and the threshold of highspeed railway environmental safety has been calibrated byciting the results of domestic and abroad At last the highspeed railway uncertain safety attribute recognition model iscreated based on the Mahalanobis distance with the featuresof dimensionless andweak effect correlation which simplifiesthe comprehensive calculation process

Secondly the examples of Chinarsquos 31 provinces andregions in the paper are selected to make the data of the highspeed railway environmental safety much more convincingThe degree of danger is divided into five categories amongwhich the cities that the high speed railways pass in theserious category account for 161 those in the middle classaccount for 387 those in the mild category account for

387 and those in the no effect category account for 651It deserves our attention that cities of Xinjiang SichuanGuangdong Heilongjiang and Liaoning belong to the seri-ous category whose evaluation results are basically consistentwith the environmental characteristics And the results havea certain theoretical reference for the ldquo135rdquo planning of highspeed railway operation safety in Xinjiang and other areas

At last the analysis of the high speed railway environmen-tal safety is directed to the aspect of weather geology andother factors However considering the complexity of dataacquisition the high speed railway evaluation index has itsown drawbacks in this paper It is needed to introduce moremethods and factors into the evaluation of the high speedrailway safety operation to facilitate the further researches

Table 1 High speed railway mechanism analysis of environmental impact factors

Environmentalfactor Mechanism

Rainfall

(i) Raining is the foremost factor that is easily causing line fault Additionally the current flow will emerge betweenthe pantograph and overhead line systems of the high speed railway when it comes to a heavy rainy day and the trainpower supply will also be consequently influenced(ii) Rainfall can cause mountain soil landslides that will directly lead to the abnormal operation of the train

Cross wind

(i) The mechanism of the influence caused by horizontal wind on the high speed railway is that it can produce theyawing force which will allow the lateral migration Moreover the produced lift force will lead to the trainderailment through the pneumatic action with the high speed train which will undeniably increase the risk of trainbeing derailed

Lightning (i) Lightning can disrupt the power supply of the high speed railway train traction which will result in the suddenstop of the high speed rail train through breaking down the high speed railway along the circuit devices

Earthquake(i) Earthquake wave can be divided into two kinds the P wave (primary wave pressure wave) and the S wave(secondary wave shear wave) S wave can destroy the building structure and cause the landslides orbital shift andtrain wheel derailment which will influence the safe driving of high speed railway

Temperature

(i) High temperature can lead to a big temperature difference between the internal and external the increase of airconditioning power and the aggravation of the train power supply load Besides high temperature can cause theshort circuit because of the softened line(ii) Cold damp climate will lead to the ice covering membrane on the railway track which will reduce the frictionbetween train and track and increase the risk of a derailment when the train is at high speed turning

Snowfall (i) A lot of snow will cover the track and the ice on the track will increase the degree of danger of the train operation

contend that all the systems can be still well improved on thebasis of the original ordinary railway disaster warning system[11] because there is a certain gap between foreign andChinarsquoshigh speed railway disaster warning systems after a relativelyfair comparison

Through the comparison of present researches betweendomestic and foreign we can find that the domestic highspeed railway disaster prevention is now in a transition fromtheory to practice while foreign high speed railway disasterprevention system has been at a relatively perfect stageTherefore it is an urgentmission for the domestic researchersto make an intensive effort to the theory research of highspeed railway disaster protection and system constructionprocess so as to promote China high speed railway operatingsafety level

2 High Speed Railway Environmental ImpactEvaluation Indexes

21 High Speed Railway Index System of EnvironmentalImpacts The operational problems of the high speed railwayare mainly caused by such uncertain factors as raining thun-dering and lightning horizontal wind earthquake and soforth whose degree of intensitywill directly decide the degreeof danger posing to the high speed railway operation safetyThe analysis of the characteristics of various environmentalfactors in the process of high speed railway operation inrecent years and the conclusion of themechanism of differentenvironmental factors on high speed railway safe operationare presented in Table 1

Besides the six factors listed in Table 1 problems in thehigh speed railway are also being influenced by debris flowand water and rock burst However given the complexity ofgeological conditions and the difficulty of data acquisition we

only use average annual rainfall average annual maximumlightning density annual disaster monsoon winds averagedisasters incidence of monsoon average magnitude gradeaverage incidence of earthquakes average annual maximumsnow depth average highest temperature and average min-imum temperature as the environment factor evaluationindex which are shown in Figure 1

It is necessary to bementioned that the usual climate envi-ronment will not exert any influence upon the operation ofhigh speed railway except typhoon sandstorm blizzard andearthquakes while high or low temperatures have significantinfluence on the operation of high speed railway Thereforewith the exclusive of the average rainfall in Figure 1 otherfactors represent the extreme climate environment Eachenvironmental factor evaluation index calculation formulaand specification is shown in the following equations

22 Demarcation of the Environmental Climate FactorAffected Threshold (Modify)

221 Threshold under Horizontal Wind Influence The rep-resentative research about the effects of horizontal wind onhigh speed railway train running is conducted preciously inJapan which calculates the horizontal wind velocity underthe condition of critical capsize under different runningspeed by wind tunnel experiment and takes the criticalwind speed as the threshold of Shinkansen disaster warning(Table 2) Chinarsquos high speed railway line train CRH series arecharacterized by the similar features with those of Japanesetrain in the shape and the axle load Therefore the JapaneseShinkansen warning horizontal wind speed is adopted asthe influencing factors of high speed railway in our countryhorizontal wind threshold

222 Threshold under Earthquake Influence In terms ofthe research results at home and abroad the calculation ofearthquake alarm threshold (EAT) of high speed railway canbe referred to as the following formula (9)

where 119860 is the maximum lateral acceleration thresholdensuring that the normal operation of the train can withstandwithout orbit (Gal) 119863 is the maximum dynamic responsecoefficient of various structures of railway under differentseismic wave excitation and suggestive value is 255

Researches show that when

case 119860 ge 120Gal the train begins to pourcase 119860 ge 240Gal the train will completely overturn

Therefore we define 119860 = 240Gal and 119860 = 120Galas the threshold of strong impact and general impact onthe safe operation of the high speed railway train Andthe earthquake magnitude threshold of high speed railwayoperation is calculated by different value method which isshown in Table 3

223 Threshold under Rain Influence Domestic railwaydepartment limits the train running speed based on the sizeof the rain

If the rain runs moderately which lasts 12 (or 24)hours and the rainfall capacity arrives at 100mmndash229mm(17mmndash379mm) its speed should be reduced

If the rain runs in a heavy rainy day which lasts 12 (or 24)hours and the rainfall capacity reaches 230mmndash499mm(330mmndash749mm) the railway lines are supposed to beblocked and the train operation is supposed to be prohibited

For the sake of dimensional consistency we can turnthe hour rainfall volume into annual rainfall volume bythe following method it is universal knowledge that ourcountryrsquos rain season will experience a period of 3 monthsthat can be calculated by 12 rainfall times thus we categorizethe annual rainfall volume into 900mm 1980mm and2970mm respectively as the moderate rainfall city heavyrainfall city and the storm rainfall city Accordingly we cancalculate rainfall threshold effects on high speed railwaycompared with the provisions of the railway departments inTable 4

224 Other Environmental Factors Threshold The currenttheoretical researches both at home and abroad pay less atten-tion to the lightning snowing temperature and snowfallwhich will definitely bring some influences on the charac-teristics of the high speed railway operations Because it isdifficult to set up a uniform standard to measure the factorsexperts suggest that the reference value and the method ofcombining qualitative analysis can be employed to determine

what degree of lightning snow and temperature influencingthe high speed rail threshold The environment impactassessment index of high speed railway can be discriminatedas in Table 5

Attribute recognition model is in essence the problems ofmultidimensional space between sample and attributionwhich is proposed by professor Cheng and has been widelyused in evaluation and classification The sample space 119883 =

31 has been calculated in 31 provinces and

autonomous regions in our country among which eachhas been given nine high speed rail environmental impactindexes as 119868

119895(119895 = 1 2 9) and the 119895th environmental

impact assessment index value in the 119894th region is expressedas 119909119894119895(119894 = 1 2 31 119895 = 1 2 9) 119865 is defined on a

sample space 119883 ordered split sets where the environmentalimpact is divided into five progressive ways as serious severemoderate mild model and no effect An ordered set of splitis defined as 119865 = 119862

1 1198622 1198623 1198624 1198625 which is in accordance

with the relationship as 1198621≻ 1198622≻ 1198623≻ 1198624≻ 1198625

Each ordered set is then to be split into a collection ofenvironmental evaluation threshold segmentation classes Tomake a clear illustration of the ordered stripe set a standardform has been set up as follows

its shortcomings because data should be standardized beforehandling bias and the separated index weights should alsobe determined What is more the last attribute recognitionresult is relative

However there is no certain way to evaluate the relativeimportance of objective indicators in a fairly wayThe essenceof attribute recognition is to determine the attributes spacesimilarity and methods used to calculate the spatial distanceare Euclidean distance Ming distance and Mahalanobisdistance Todeschini et al and Kayaalp and Arslan assert thatthe Mahalanobis distance has the advantages of weakeningthe correlation between impact indicators and automaticweight in the index calculation based on data changes [15 16]

Therefore in order to compensate for normal functionwe use Mahalanobis distance as the measurement functionto build the attribute recognition model

level which accounts for 549 It is notable that in additionto Sichuan the high speed railway environment impacts inthe serious level areas are mostly distributed in coastal areasand northern regions while Chinese abdominal regions aremostly in the medium and light level (see Figure 2)

For further analysis security score in the areas of theserious level should be calculated by means of gradingcriterion All kinds of scores are clarified in Table 8

The calculation results show that Sichuan has the lowestscores of 62460 followed by 63280 in Heilongjiang and63489 in Xinxiang and Yunnan has the highest score of7223

42 High Speed Railway Line Safety Environment AnalysisThere are 25 high speed railway operational lines in ourcountry currently which constitute the total mileage of 10192kilometers Most of the high speed railways are located insoutheast of China where complex geological accidents suchas landslip earthquake and other geological disasters take

place frequently The high speed railway environment safetysituation is clearly illustrated in Table 9

The Jinghu line Fuxia line and Huning line mainly goacross regions of Beijing Tianjin Jinan Nanjing ShanghaiHangzhou and so on Most of these regions are located inthe medium impacted or light impacted areas where rainingand storm happen frequently Thus we have to pay attentionto the influence of heavy rain and storm

The Wuguang line and Guangshengang line mainly gocross such cities as Guangzhou Foshan and others inGuangzhou These cities are vulnerable to the typhoon fromcoastal regions which will affect the progress of the highspeed railway

The Yiwan line Suiyu line and Dacheng line go crossWanzhou Suining Shizishan Chengdu or other cities ofSichuan province High speed railway in these areas willsuffer seriously from the tough environment and we shouldpay attention to prevent cost and loss from landslip andearthquake

5 Conclusions

Firstly the papermakes a detailed analysis of the impact fromsuch environment factors as rainfall earthquake lightningwind and snow on the high speed railway safety mechanismOn the basis of the analysis the evaluation index systemof safety has been established and the threshold of highspeed railway environmental safety has been calibrated byciting the results of domestic and abroad At last the highspeed railway uncertain safety attribute recognition model iscreated based on the Mahalanobis distance with the featuresof dimensionless andweak effect correlation which simplifiesthe comprehensive calculation process

Secondly the examples of Chinarsquos 31 provinces andregions in the paper are selected to make the data of the highspeed railway environmental safety much more convincingThe degree of danger is divided into five categories amongwhich the cities that the high speed railways pass in theserious category account for 161 those in the middle classaccount for 387 those in the mild category account for

387 and those in the no effect category account for 651It deserves our attention that cities of Xinjiang SichuanGuangdong Heilongjiang and Liaoning belong to the seri-ous category whose evaluation results are basically consistentwith the environmental characteristics And the results havea certain theoretical reference for the ldquo135rdquo planning of highspeed railway operation safety in Xinjiang and other areas

At last the analysis of the high speed railway environmen-tal safety is directed to the aspect of weather geology andother factors However considering the complexity of dataacquisition the high speed railway evaluation index has itsown drawbacks in this paper It is needed to introduce moremethods and factors into the evaluation of the high speedrailway safety operation to facilitate the further researches

22 Demarcation of the Environmental Climate FactorAffected Threshold (Modify)

221 Threshold under Horizontal Wind Influence The rep-resentative research about the effects of horizontal wind onhigh speed railway train running is conducted preciously inJapan which calculates the horizontal wind velocity underthe condition of critical capsize under different runningspeed by wind tunnel experiment and takes the criticalwind speed as the threshold of Shinkansen disaster warning(Table 2) Chinarsquos high speed railway line train CRH series arecharacterized by the similar features with those of Japanesetrain in the shape and the axle load Therefore the JapaneseShinkansen warning horizontal wind speed is adopted asthe influencing factors of high speed railway in our countryhorizontal wind threshold

222 Threshold under Earthquake Influence In terms ofthe research results at home and abroad the calculation ofearthquake alarm threshold (EAT) of high speed railway canbe referred to as the following formula (9)

EAT = 119860119863

Table 4 The annual rainfall threshold of high speed railway

Rank Very serious Serious General Slight No effectAnnual rainfall gt2970mm 1980mm 900mm 600mm lt600mm

where 119860 is the maximum lateral acceleration thresholdensuring that the normal operation of the train can withstandwithout orbit (Gal) 119863 is the maximum dynamic responsecoefficient of various structures of railway under differentseismic wave excitation and suggestive value is 255

Researches show that when

case 119860 ge 120Gal the train begins to pourcase 119860 ge 240Gal the train will completely overturn

Therefore we define 119860 = 240Gal and 119860 = 120Galas the threshold of strong impact and general impact onthe safe operation of the high speed railway train Andthe earthquake magnitude threshold of high speed railwayoperation is calculated by different value method which isshown in Table 3

223 Threshold under Rain Influence Domestic railwaydepartment limits the train running speed based on the sizeof the rain

If the rain runs moderately which lasts 12 (or 24)hours and the rainfall capacity arrives at 100mmndash229mm(17mmndash379mm) its speed should be reduced

If the rain runs in a heavy rainy day which lasts 12 (or 24)hours and the rainfall capacity reaches 230mmndash499mm(330mmndash749mm) the railway lines are supposed to beblocked and the train operation is supposed to be prohibited

For the sake of dimensional consistency we can turnthe hour rainfall volume into annual rainfall volume bythe following method it is universal knowledge that ourcountryrsquos rain season will experience a period of 3 monthsthat can be calculated by 12 rainfall times thus we categorizethe annual rainfall volume into 900mm 1980mm and2970mm respectively as the moderate rainfall city heavyrainfall city and the storm rainfall city Accordingly we cancalculate rainfall threshold effects on high speed railwaycompared with the provisions of the railway departments inTable 4

224 Other Environmental Factors Threshold The currenttheoretical researches both at home and abroad pay less atten-tion to the lightning snowing temperature and snowfallwhich will definitely bring some influences on the charac-teristics of the high speed railway operations Because it isdifficult to set up a uniform standard to measure the factorsexperts suggest that the reference value and the method ofcombining qualitative analysis can be employed to determine

what degree of lightning snow and temperature influencingthe high speed rail threshold The environment impactassessment index of high speed railway can be discriminatedas in Table 5

3 High Speed Railway Environmental ImpactsAttribute Recognition Model

Attribute recognition model is in essence the problems ofmultidimensional space between sample and attributionwhich is proposed by professor Cheng and has been widelyused in evaluation and classification The sample space 119883 =

1199091 1199092 1199093 119909

31 has been calculated in 31 provinces and

autonomous regions in our country among which eachhas been given nine high speed rail environmental impactindexes as 119868

119895(119895 = 1 2 9) and the 119895th environmental

impact assessment index value in the 119894th region is expressedas 119909119894119895(119894 = 1 2 31 119895 = 1 2 9) 119865 is defined on a

sample space 119883 ordered split sets where the environmentalimpact is divided into five progressive ways as serious severemoderate mild model and no effect An ordered set of splitis defined as 119865 = 119862

1 1198622 1198623 1198624 1198625 which is in accordance

with the relationship as 1198621≻ 1198622≻ 1198623≻ 1198624≻ 1198625

Each ordered set is then to be split into a collection ofenvironmental evaluation threshold segmentation classes Tomake a clear illustration of the ordered stripe set a standardform has been set up as follows

its shortcomings because data should be standardized beforehandling bias and the separated index weights should alsobe determined What is more the last attribute recognitionresult is relative

However there is no certain way to evaluate the relativeimportance of objective indicators in a fairly wayThe essenceof attribute recognition is to determine the attributes spacesimilarity and methods used to calculate the spatial distanceare Euclidean distance Ming distance and Mahalanobisdistance Todeschini et al and Kayaalp and Arslan assert thatthe Mahalanobis distance has the advantages of weakeningthe correlation between impact indicators and automaticweight in the index calculation based on data changes [15 16]

Therefore in order to compensate for normal functionwe use Mahalanobis distance as the measurement functionto build the attribute recognition model

Step 2 (standard attribute measurement value calculations)Generally the greater the similarity of Mahalanobis distancethe smaller the measurement valueTherefore assuming thatMahalanobis distance between area119883

level which accounts for 549 It is notable that in additionto Sichuan the high speed railway environment impacts inthe serious level areas are mostly distributed in coastal areasand northern regions while Chinese abdominal regions aremostly in the medium and light level (see Figure 2)

For further analysis security score in the areas of theserious level should be calculated by means of gradingcriterion All kinds of scores are clarified in Table 8

The calculation results show that Sichuan has the lowestscores of 62460 followed by 63280 in Heilongjiang and63489 in Xinxiang and Yunnan has the highest score of7223

42 High Speed Railway Line Safety Environment AnalysisThere are 25 high speed railway operational lines in ourcountry currently which constitute the total mileage of 10192kilometers Most of the high speed railways are located insoutheast of China where complex geological accidents suchas landslip earthquake and other geological disasters take

place frequently The high speed railway environment safetysituation is clearly illustrated in Table 9

The Jinghu line Fuxia line and Huning line mainly goacross regions of Beijing Tianjin Jinan Nanjing ShanghaiHangzhou and so on Most of these regions are located inthe medium impacted or light impacted areas where rainingand storm happen frequently Thus we have to pay attentionto the influence of heavy rain and storm

The Wuguang line and Guangshengang line mainly gocross such cities as Guangzhou Foshan and others inGuangzhou These cities are vulnerable to the typhoon fromcoastal regions which will affect the progress of the highspeed railway

The Yiwan line Suiyu line and Dacheng line go crossWanzhou Suining Shizishan Chengdu or other cities ofSichuan province High speed railway in these areas willsuffer seriously from the tough environment and we shouldpay attention to prevent cost and loss from landslip andearthquake

5 Conclusions

Firstly the papermakes a detailed analysis of the impact fromsuch environment factors as rainfall earthquake lightningwind and snow on the high speed railway safety mechanismOn the basis of the analysis the evaluation index systemof safety has been established and the threshold of highspeed railway environmental safety has been calibrated byciting the results of domestic and abroad At last the highspeed railway uncertain safety attribute recognition model iscreated based on the Mahalanobis distance with the featuresof dimensionless andweak effect correlation which simplifiesthe comprehensive calculation process

Secondly the examples of Chinarsquos 31 provinces andregions in the paper are selected to make the data of the highspeed railway environmental safety much more convincingThe degree of danger is divided into five categories amongwhich the cities that the high speed railways pass in theserious category account for 161 those in the middle classaccount for 387 those in the mild category account for

387 and those in the no effect category account for 651It deserves our attention that cities of Xinjiang SichuanGuangdong Heilongjiang and Liaoning belong to the seri-ous category whose evaluation results are basically consistentwith the environmental characteristics And the results havea certain theoretical reference for the ldquo135rdquo planning of highspeed railway operation safety in Xinjiang and other areas

At last the analysis of the high speed railway environmen-tal safety is directed to the aspect of weather geology andother factors However considering the complexity of dataacquisition the high speed railway evaluation index has itsown drawbacks in this paper It is needed to introduce moremethods and factors into the evaluation of the high speedrailway safety operation to facilitate the further researches

where 119860 is the maximum lateral acceleration thresholdensuring that the normal operation of the train can withstandwithout orbit (Gal) 119863 is the maximum dynamic responsecoefficient of various structures of railway under differentseismic wave excitation and suggestive value is 255

Researches show that when

case 119860 ge 120Gal the train begins to pourcase 119860 ge 240Gal the train will completely overturn

Therefore we define 119860 = 240Gal and 119860 = 120Galas the threshold of strong impact and general impact onthe safe operation of the high speed railway train Andthe earthquake magnitude threshold of high speed railwayoperation is calculated by different value method which isshown in Table 3

223 Threshold under Rain Influence Domestic railwaydepartment limits the train running speed based on the sizeof the rain

If the rain runs moderately which lasts 12 (or 24)hours and the rainfall capacity arrives at 100mmndash229mm(17mmndash379mm) its speed should be reduced

If the rain runs in a heavy rainy day which lasts 12 (or 24)hours and the rainfall capacity reaches 230mmndash499mm(330mmndash749mm) the railway lines are supposed to beblocked and the train operation is supposed to be prohibited

For the sake of dimensional consistency we can turnthe hour rainfall volume into annual rainfall volume bythe following method it is universal knowledge that ourcountryrsquos rain season will experience a period of 3 monthsthat can be calculated by 12 rainfall times thus we categorizethe annual rainfall volume into 900mm 1980mm and2970mm respectively as the moderate rainfall city heavyrainfall city and the storm rainfall city Accordingly we cancalculate rainfall threshold effects on high speed railwaycompared with the provisions of the railway departments inTable 4

224 Other Environmental Factors Threshold The currenttheoretical researches both at home and abroad pay less atten-tion to the lightning snowing temperature and snowfallwhich will definitely bring some influences on the charac-teristics of the high speed railway operations Because it isdifficult to set up a uniform standard to measure the factorsexperts suggest that the reference value and the method ofcombining qualitative analysis can be employed to determine

what degree of lightning snow and temperature influencingthe high speed rail threshold The environment impactassessment index of high speed railway can be discriminatedas in Table 5

1199091 1199092 1199093 119909

31 has been calculated in 31 provinces and

autonomous regions in our country among which eachhas been given nine high speed rail environmental impactindexes as 119868

119895(119895 = 1 2 9) and the 119895th environmental

impact assessment index value in the 119894th region is expressedas 119909119894119895(119894 = 1 2 31 119895 = 1 2 9) 119865 is defined on a

sample space 119883 ordered split sets where the environmentalimpact is divided into five progressive ways as serious severemoderate mild model and no effect An ordered set of splitis defined as 119865 = 119862

1 1198622 1198623 1198624 1198625 which is in accordance

with the relationship as 1198621≻ 1198622≻ 1198623≻ 1198624≻ 1198625

Each ordered set is then to be split into a collection ofenvironmental evaluation threshold segmentation classes Tomake a clear illustration of the ordered stripe set a standardform has been set up as follows

its shortcomings because data should be standardized beforehandling bias and the separated index weights should alsobe determined What is more the last attribute recognitionresult is relative

However there is no certain way to evaluate the relativeimportance of objective indicators in a fairly wayThe essenceof attribute recognition is to determine the attributes spacesimilarity and methods used to calculate the spatial distanceare Euclidean distance Ming distance and Mahalanobisdistance Todeschini et al and Kayaalp and Arslan assert thatthe Mahalanobis distance has the advantages of weakeningthe correlation between impact indicators and automaticweight in the index calculation based on data changes [15 16]

level which accounts for 549 It is notable that in additionto Sichuan the high speed railway environment impacts inthe serious level areas are mostly distributed in coastal areasand northern regions while Chinese abdominal regions aremostly in the medium and light level (see Figure 2)

For further analysis security score in the areas of theserious level should be calculated by means of gradingcriterion All kinds of scores are clarified in Table 8

The calculation results show that Sichuan has the lowestscores of 62460 followed by 63280 in Heilongjiang and63489 in Xinxiang and Yunnan has the highest score of7223

42 High Speed Railway Line Safety Environment AnalysisThere are 25 high speed railway operational lines in ourcountry currently which constitute the total mileage of 10192kilometers Most of the high speed railways are located insoutheast of China where complex geological accidents suchas landslip earthquake and other geological disasters take

place frequently The high speed railway environment safetysituation is clearly illustrated in Table 9

The Jinghu line Fuxia line and Huning line mainly goacross regions of Beijing Tianjin Jinan Nanjing ShanghaiHangzhou and so on Most of these regions are located inthe medium impacted or light impacted areas where rainingand storm happen frequently Thus we have to pay attentionto the influence of heavy rain and storm

The Wuguang line and Guangshengang line mainly gocross such cities as Guangzhou Foshan and others inGuangzhou These cities are vulnerable to the typhoon fromcoastal regions which will affect the progress of the highspeed railway

The Yiwan line Suiyu line and Dacheng line go crossWanzhou Suining Shizishan Chengdu or other cities ofSichuan province High speed railway in these areas willsuffer seriously from the tough environment and we shouldpay attention to prevent cost and loss from landslip andearthquake

5 Conclusions

Firstly the papermakes a detailed analysis of the impact fromsuch environment factors as rainfall earthquake lightningwind and snow on the high speed railway safety mechanismOn the basis of the analysis the evaluation index systemof safety has been established and the threshold of highspeed railway environmental safety has been calibrated byciting the results of domestic and abroad At last the highspeed railway uncertain safety attribute recognition model iscreated based on the Mahalanobis distance with the featuresof dimensionless andweak effect correlation which simplifiesthe comprehensive calculation process

Secondly the examples of Chinarsquos 31 provinces andregions in the paper are selected to make the data of the highspeed railway environmental safety much more convincingThe degree of danger is divided into five categories amongwhich the cities that the high speed railways pass in theserious category account for 161 those in the middle classaccount for 387 those in the mild category account for

387 and those in the no effect category account for 651It deserves our attention that cities of Xinjiang SichuanGuangdong Heilongjiang and Liaoning belong to the seri-ous category whose evaluation results are basically consistentwith the environmental characteristics And the results havea certain theoretical reference for the ldquo135rdquo planning of highspeed railway operation safety in Xinjiang and other areas

At last the analysis of the high speed railway environmen-tal safety is directed to the aspect of weather geology andother factors However considering the complexity of dataacquisition the high speed railway evaluation index has itsown drawbacks in this paper It is needed to introduce moremethods and factors into the evaluation of the high speedrailway safety operation to facilitate the further researches

its shortcomings because data should be standardized beforehandling bias and the separated index weights should alsobe determined What is more the last attribute recognitionresult is relative

However there is no certain way to evaluate the relativeimportance of objective indicators in a fairly wayThe essenceof attribute recognition is to determine the attributes spacesimilarity and methods used to calculate the spatial distanceare Euclidean distance Ming distance and Mahalanobisdistance Todeschini et al and Kayaalp and Arslan assert thatthe Mahalanobis distance has the advantages of weakeningthe correlation between impact indicators and automaticweight in the index calculation based on data changes [15 16]

Therefore in order to compensate for normal functionwe use Mahalanobis distance as the measurement functionto build the attribute recognition model

level which accounts for 549 It is notable that in additionto Sichuan the high speed railway environment impacts inthe serious level areas are mostly distributed in coastal areasand northern regions while Chinese abdominal regions aremostly in the medium and light level (see Figure 2)

For further analysis security score in the areas of theserious level should be calculated by means of gradingcriterion All kinds of scores are clarified in Table 8

The calculation results show that Sichuan has the lowestscores of 62460 followed by 63280 in Heilongjiang and63489 in Xinxiang and Yunnan has the highest score of7223

42 High Speed Railway Line Safety Environment AnalysisThere are 25 high speed railway operational lines in ourcountry currently which constitute the total mileage of 10192kilometers Most of the high speed railways are located insoutheast of China where complex geological accidents suchas landslip earthquake and other geological disasters take

place frequently The high speed railway environment safetysituation is clearly illustrated in Table 9

The Jinghu line Fuxia line and Huning line mainly goacross regions of Beijing Tianjin Jinan Nanjing ShanghaiHangzhou and so on Most of these regions are located inthe medium impacted or light impacted areas where rainingand storm happen frequently Thus we have to pay attentionto the influence of heavy rain and storm

The Wuguang line and Guangshengang line mainly gocross such cities as Guangzhou Foshan and others inGuangzhou These cities are vulnerable to the typhoon fromcoastal regions which will affect the progress of the highspeed railway

The Yiwan line Suiyu line and Dacheng line go crossWanzhou Suining Shizishan Chengdu or other cities ofSichuan province High speed railway in these areas willsuffer seriously from the tough environment and we shouldpay attention to prevent cost and loss from landslip andearthquake

5 Conclusions

Firstly the papermakes a detailed analysis of the impact fromsuch environment factors as rainfall earthquake lightningwind and snow on the high speed railway safety mechanismOn the basis of the analysis the evaluation index systemof safety has been established and the threshold of highspeed railway environmental safety has been calibrated byciting the results of domestic and abroad At last the highspeed railway uncertain safety attribute recognition model iscreated based on the Mahalanobis distance with the featuresof dimensionless andweak effect correlation which simplifiesthe comprehensive calculation process

Secondly the examples of Chinarsquos 31 provinces andregions in the paper are selected to make the data of the highspeed railway environmental safety much more convincingThe degree of danger is divided into five categories amongwhich the cities that the high speed railways pass in theserious category account for 161 those in the middle classaccount for 387 those in the mild category account for

387 and those in the no effect category account for 651It deserves our attention that cities of Xinjiang SichuanGuangdong Heilongjiang and Liaoning belong to the seri-ous category whose evaluation results are basically consistentwith the environmental characteristics And the results havea certain theoretical reference for the ldquo135rdquo planning of highspeed railway operation safety in Xinjiang and other areas

At last the analysis of the high speed railway environmen-tal safety is directed to the aspect of weather geology andother factors However considering the complexity of dataacquisition the high speed railway evaluation index has itsown drawbacks in this paper It is needed to introduce moremethods and factors into the evaluation of the high speedrailway safety operation to facilitate the further researches

Use the function pdist of MATLAB to work out theMahalanobis distance between the districts sample and theattribute class

119911 = pdist (11987731times9

1198775times9 ldquomahalrdquo) (17)

where 119911 is the Mahalanobis distance matrix between thesample and the attribute and mahal is representing the use ofthe function Mahalanobis distance to work out the distanceof matrix

Then make confidence level 120582 = 060 and each ofthe arearsquos environmental attribute recognition values andattribute classification can be obtained as that in Table 7

The calculation results in the above table show that theenvironmental safety situation of Xinjiang Sichuan Hei-longjiang and Jilin belongs to serious category which takesup 129 The situation in the Medium level areas accountsfor 322 such as Heilongjiang Hebei Liaoning Jiangsuand Guangdong and that of the 17 areas such as BeijingTianjin Guizhou Gansu and other regions belongs to slight

level which accounts for 549 It is notable that in additionto Sichuan the high speed railway environment impacts inthe serious level areas are mostly distributed in coastal areasand northern regions while Chinese abdominal regions aremostly in the medium and light level (see Figure 2)

For further analysis security score in the areas of theserious level should be calculated by means of gradingcriterion All kinds of scores are clarified in Table 8

The calculation results show that Sichuan has the lowestscores of 62460 followed by 63280 in Heilongjiang and63489 in Xinxiang and Yunnan has the highest score of7223

42 High Speed Railway Line Safety Environment AnalysisThere are 25 high speed railway operational lines in ourcountry currently which constitute the total mileage of 10192kilometers Most of the high speed railways are located insoutheast of China where complex geological accidents suchas landslip earthquake and other geological disasters take

place frequently The high speed railway environment safetysituation is clearly illustrated in Table 9

The Jinghu line Fuxia line and Huning line mainly goacross regions of Beijing Tianjin Jinan Nanjing ShanghaiHangzhou and so on Most of these regions are located inthe medium impacted or light impacted areas where rainingand storm happen frequently Thus we have to pay attentionto the influence of heavy rain and storm

The Wuguang line and Guangshengang line mainly gocross such cities as Guangzhou Foshan and others inGuangzhou These cities are vulnerable to the typhoon fromcoastal regions which will affect the progress of the highspeed railway

The Yiwan line Suiyu line and Dacheng line go crossWanzhou Suining Shizishan Chengdu or other cities ofSichuan province High speed railway in these areas willsuffer seriously from the tough environment and we shouldpay attention to prevent cost and loss from landslip andearthquake

5 Conclusions

Firstly the papermakes a detailed analysis of the impact fromsuch environment factors as rainfall earthquake lightningwind and snow on the high speed railway safety mechanismOn the basis of the analysis the evaluation index systemof safety has been established and the threshold of highspeed railway environmental safety has been calibrated byciting the results of domestic and abroad At last the highspeed railway uncertain safety attribute recognition model iscreated based on the Mahalanobis distance with the featuresof dimensionless andweak effect correlation which simplifiesthe comprehensive calculation process

Secondly the examples of Chinarsquos 31 provinces andregions in the paper are selected to make the data of the highspeed railway environmental safety much more convincingThe degree of danger is divided into five categories amongwhich the cities that the high speed railways pass in theserious category account for 161 those in the middle classaccount for 387 those in the mild category account for

387 and those in the no effect category account for 651It deserves our attention that cities of Xinjiang SichuanGuangdong Heilongjiang and Liaoning belong to the seri-ous category whose evaluation results are basically consistentwith the environmental characteristics And the results havea certain theoretical reference for the ldquo135rdquo planning of highspeed railway operation safety in Xinjiang and other areas

At last the analysis of the high speed railway environmen-tal safety is directed to the aspect of weather geology andother factors However considering the complexity of dataacquisition the high speed railway evaluation index has itsown drawbacks in this paper It is needed to introduce moremethods and factors into the evaluation of the high speedrailway safety operation to facilitate the further researches

5 Conclusions

Firstly the papermakes a detailed analysis of the impact fromsuch environment factors as rainfall earthquake lightningwind and snow on the high speed railway safety mechanismOn the basis of the analysis the evaluation index systemof safety has been established and the threshold of highspeed railway environmental safety has been calibrated byciting the results of domestic and abroad At last the highspeed railway uncertain safety attribute recognition model iscreated based on the Mahalanobis distance with the featuresof dimensionless andweak effect correlation which simplifiesthe comprehensive calculation process

Secondly the examples of Chinarsquos 31 provinces andregions in the paper are selected to make the data of the highspeed railway environmental safety much more convincingThe degree of danger is divided into five categories amongwhich the cities that the high speed railways pass in theserious category account for 161 those in the middle classaccount for 387 those in the mild category account for

387 and those in the no effect category account for 651It deserves our attention that cities of Xinjiang SichuanGuangdong Heilongjiang and Liaoning belong to the seri-ous category whose evaluation results are basically consistentwith the environmental characteristics And the results havea certain theoretical reference for the ldquo135rdquo planning of highspeed railway operation safety in Xinjiang and other areas

At last the analysis of the high speed railway environmen-tal safety is directed to the aspect of weather geology andother factors However considering the complexity of dataacquisition the high speed railway evaluation index has itsown drawbacks in this paper It is needed to introduce moremethods and factors into the evaluation of the high speedrailway safety operation to facilitate the further researches
