Abstract
With the rapid development of urban rail transit in China recently, improving its quick emergency response capability is becoming an important issue. Based on the perspective of inter-organizational collaboration, this article examines the formation mechanism of quick emergency response capability of urban rail transit and proposes the concept model hypothesis, in order to highlight the inter-organizational emergency collaboration relationships and the quick emergency response capability. According to site surveys and analysis of the elements of inter-organizational collaboration in emergency rescue and the meaning of quick emergency response capability, the scale of emergency collaboration and emergency response capability is designed, and the hypothetical concept model is tested by structural equation model. The results indicate that the emergency collaboration can be realized mainly through emergency organizations, resources, plans, and information. These elements interact with each other; the quick emergency response capability includes fast reaction and emergency disposal capability, emergency decision and execution capability, and coordination and joint action capability. These capabilities restrict each other. Moreover, emergency collaboration has significant but different influence on different dimensions of quick emergency response capability. Therefore, allocating and controlling emergency elements are pivotal to realizing inter-organizational emergency collaboration and generating the quick emergency response capability of urban rail transit.
Highlights
In recent years, frequent underground emergencies worldwide have led to many casualties and property loss, as well as unfavorable political influence on public security and stability, leading to social anxiety
To answer our research objectives, this study aims to investigate the associations between Emergency response capability (ERC) and emergency collaboration (EC) of urban rail transit in China through a positivism approach, such as structural equation model (SEM)
Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS version 22 and AMOS version 22; the reliability and validity of the questionnaires of emergency response collaboration and quick ERC were tested; factor analysis and path analysis were conducted for each variable; components of EC and quick ERC were discussed; interactions between EC and quick ERC were explored, and all of the hypotheses proved
Summary
Frequent underground emergencies worldwide have led to many casualties and property loss, as well as unfavorable political influence on public security and stability, leading to social anxiety. Disaster or emergency management has attracted contributions from researchers all across the globe.[1] it must be acknowledged that emergency management. Advances in Mechanical Engineering plays a vital role in minimizing loss if immediate after an accident. We discuss emergency response, regarded as the process of gathering resources and acting immediately after the incident happens.[2] The process is from the occurrence of a threat or an incident to responses and actions, and the goal of emergency response is to help rescue injured personnel, protect vulnerable people, and control and lessen the impact of an accident as much as possible.[3]
