Agent-Based Simulation of Emergency Response of Urban Oil and Gas Pipeline Leakage

Abstract

With the progress of urbanization, there are many phenomena of staggering between oil and gas pipelines and municipal pipeline networks, which increase the accidents that serious casualties caused by pipeline failure. Combined with the accident experience, many cities have reformed underground pipelines and adopted stricter management regulations. But, in some cities, underground pipelines still have great potential risks of leakage. Therefore, how to effectively on the pipeline leakage accident emergency is an urgent problem to be solved.The research object of this paper is the emergency response management of pipeline leakage and explosion accident in Qingdao, China. A multi-agent simulation model is constructed by Anylogic software, and the parameters of the failure link and the personnel protection link in the emergency disposal process are adjusted. The effectiveness of the emergency disposal scheme obtained by adjusting the parameters is verified, and the construction method of emergency response model for urban oil and gas pipeline leakage accident based on multi-agent model simulation is proposed, which is helpful to improve the emergency response effect of urban oil and gas pipeline leakage accident.
