A Brain-Inspired Dynamic Environmental Emergency Response Framework for Sudden Water Pollution Accidents

Abstract

Sudden water pollution accidents happen frequently in China, and the number of treated accidents is low, due to the slow response speed. In addition, there is a lack of decision support systems that can follow up the whole process instead of just giving a one-time method. This study constructs a framework suitable for China that has both the ability of quick responses and full-time dynamic decision support, such as an experienced expert, while not being affected by pressure, to be used an emergency response for sudden water pollution accidents. To allow new decisionmakers to integrate into this professional decision-making role more quickly, a brain-inspired system is realized through combining the machine learning algorithm KNN and the idea of iteration and dynamic programming. The feasibility of our framework is further tested through a major water pollution happened recently. The results show that this framework can be well connected with the emergency response technology system that has been completed before, while also supporting the rapid and robust decision making such as the decisionmaker’s second brain, reducing the demand for professional background and experience of emergency decisionmakers, thus effectively shorten the waiting period for response.
