Using fire dynamics simulator to reconstruct a hydroelectric power plant fire accident

The location of the hydroelectric power plant poses a high risk to occupants seeking to escape in a fire accident. Calculating the heat release rate of transformer oil as 11.5 MW/m(2), the fire at the Taiwan Dajia-River hydroelectric power plant was reconstructed using the fire dynamics simulator (FDS). The variations at the escape route of the fire hazard factors temperature, radiant heat, carbon monoxide, and oxygen were collected during the simulation to verify the causes of the serious casualties resulting from the fire. The simulated safe escape time when taking temperature changes into account is about 236 sec, 155 sec for radiant heat changes, 260 sec for carbon monoxide changes, and 235-248 sec for oxygen changes. These escape times are far less than the actual escape time of 302 sec. The simulation thus demonstrated the urgent need to improve escape options for people escaping a hydroelectric power plant fire.     

驾驶人基于感知判断反应错误引发的事故分析

机动车驾驶人的驾车过程是一个复杂的心理过程,其中尤为重要的是感知、判断、反应三个环节,其中任何一个环节出现差错都有可能导致道路交通事故的发生。分析机动车驾驶人的感知错误、判断错误和反应不恰当与道路交通事故之间存在的关系,有助于提高机动车驾驶人驾驶技术和应变能力,从而达到预防和减少道路交通事故的目的。     

A traffic accident caused by fatigue failure of axle

An investigation of a traffic accident involving a tractor-trailer and a passenger car that were traveling at high speed is presented. The cause was the fracture of a trailer axle. The investigation showed that the fracture was because of the fatigue failure. In addition, cracks were found in the remaining three trailer wheels. Hardness measurements showed that, because of inadequate heat treatment of the metal, they were prone to failure.

“因逃逸致人死亡”中的共犯问题解析

交通肇事罪中＂因逃逸致人死亡＂的共犯的相关司法解释仅规定了四种主体,但对实践中出现的其他主体的类似行为如何处理？对该问题的解析需要从司法解释的性质入手,若要明确司法解释的性质,需要从交通肇事罪的主观罪过及其客观表现着手。只有在明晰＂交通肇事致人死亡＂主观罪过包括直接故意、间接故意、过于自信的过失的基础上,就各个罪过类型的客观表现进行区分,才能在此基础上将相关解释定性为＂注意规定＂,并以此对疑题进行解析。

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF INTERNATIONAL CARRIAGE OF GOODS BY RAILWAY BETWEEN CIM AND SMGS

China and some of its trade partners in Western Europe apply different legal regimes for international carriage of goods by railway — respectively Agreement on International Railway Freight Transportation (SMGS) and Uniform Rules Concerning the Contract of International Carriage of Goods by Rail (CIM). For transportation of goods by railway between China and Western Europe both the CIM and the SMGS are often applicable. China’s initiative “the Belt and Road” promotes development of railway transport in Eurasia and creates new incentives for comparative study between those two international legal systems. This article provides a brief historical outline of comparative studies between the CIM and SMGS. This article also purports to show that some similarities and differences between the two regimes might be better understood from the perspective of comparative legal history. Taking into account inter alia the common origin of the current versions of the CIM and SMGS in the 4th revision of the CIM of 1933, differences and similarities between two legal regimes have been analysed with regard to the following topics: the scope of application of the CIM and SMGS; the nature of the carrier’s liability under the CIM and SMGS; exclusivity of the CIM, exclusivity of the contract of carriage under the SMGS; period of responsibility; persons for whom the carrier is liable.
