Accurate calculation of hazardous materials transport risks

چکیده
We propose two path-selection algorithms for the transport of hazardous materials. The algorithms can deal with link impedances that are path-dependent. This approach is superior to the use of a standard shortest path algorithm, common in the literature and practice, which results in inaccuracies. c © 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

بررسی حوادث حمل و نقل جاده ای مواد خطرناک در ایران
Background and aims: All over the world, and particularly in industrialized countries, the transport of hazardous materials has till years a continuously increasing trend. Public concern is focused mainly on road and rail transport, since the routes used for road and rail transportation of hazardous substances necessarily come closer and sometimes also cross densely populated areas. In this st...
متن کاملDeveloping a risk/cost framework for routing truck movements of hazardous materials.
As the United States continues to increase its dependence on industrial technologies which require hazardous materials and generate hazardous wastes, concern is mounting over the safe transport of hazardous cargo. It is estimated that 1.5 billion tons of hazardous cargo are moved through the nation's transportation systems (excluding pipeline), with truck as the primary mode of transport. Becau...
متن کاملRedistribution of transport of hazardous materials and external safety risks: the case of rail transport in The Netherlands
Since the late 1990s the debate in The Netherlands on the transport of hazardous materials by rail has intensified. The reason for this debate is the fact that most of the Dutch railway nodes are located in city centres. Risk is described by a formula in which the probability of an accident is multiplied by its effect. Although the probability might not be large, the effects of an accident can ...
متن کاملTransport risk models for hazardous materials: revisited
We study several functions that have been proposed for comparing transport routes for a hazardous materials shipment. We show that many proposed path evaluation functions are based on an approximation. While these functions can be modified to avoid the approximation, these more accurate versions violate two reasonable axioms. We propose a new family of models by redefining the decision problem ...
متن کاملHazardous materials release analysis: probabilistic input for emergency response organisations
In the Netherlands, substantial amounts of hazardous materials are transported by road. Quantitative risk analyses are conducted to indicate the risks associated with these transport activities. In general, classified release volumes accompanied by probabilities are used in these risk analyses. Still, the application is limited to risk analysis instead of also being used for emergency response ...
