Advanced OR and AI Methods in Transportation FINDING DISSIMILAR EFFICIENT ROUTES FOR HAZMAT SHIPMENTS
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the problem of finding hazmat road transportation paths minimizing both the total risk of hazmat shipments and the total transportation cost, meanwhile guaranteeing a certain level of risk equity over the population. To ensure the selection of a set of paths that also guarantee an equitable spread of the risk over the population, we introduce a new similarity index. The problem is mathematically formulated and is heuristically solved, and the proposed model and algorithm are evaluated on realistic problem instances.

Comparison between Combined and Separate Approaches for Solving a Location-Routing Problem in Hazardous Materials Transportation
In the case of hazardous materials management, selected routes for carrying hazardous materials (i.e., hazmat) have significant effects on locating hazmat distribution centers. Since, risk and cost are usually considered as two main attributes to determine the best routes, optimized locations are sequentially outlined depending on selected routes. In the present paper, t...
متن کاملA Fuzzy Bi-Objective Mathematical Model for Sustainable Hazmat Transportation
Today, transportation of hazardous materials (i.e., hazmat) is a very important issue for researchers due to the risk of this transit, which should be considered for development of industries and transportation. Therefore, a model that is useful should consider the risk and damage to humanitarian and environmental issues due to transit of hazmat materials. By considering the related cost, the r...
متن کاملA comprehensive modeling framework for hazmat network design, hazmat response team location, and equity of risk
This paper considers a bi-level hazmat transportation network design problem in which hazmat shipments have to be transported over a road network between specified origin-destination points. The bi-level framework involves a regulatory authority and hazmat carriers. The control variables for the regulatory authority are locations of hazmat response teams and which additional links to include fo...
متن کاملImplications of Cost Equity Consideration in Hazmat Network Design
1 The hazmat network design problem (HNDP) aims to reduce the risk of transporting hazmat in the 2 network by enforcing regulation policies. The goal of reducing risk can increase cost for different 3 hazmat carriers. Since HNDP involves multiple parties, it is essential to take the cost increase of all 4 carriers into consideration for the implementation of the regulation policy. While we can ...
متن کاملA mathematical model for hazmat and freight transportation in railway networks
In this paper, we develop a freight transportation model for railway network considering hazmat transportation issue. In the transportation system considered, different customers can request for carrying hazmat and non- hazmat boxes. It is assumed that the sequence of the trains in the network is known. The objective is assigning the non-hazmat boxes and hazmat boxes to wagons of the trains so ...
