Routing Hazardous Materials on Time-Dependent Networks using Conditional Value-at-Risk
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a new method for mitigating risk in routing hazardous materials (hazmat), based on the conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) measure on time-dependent vehicular networks. The CVaR models are shown to be flexible and suitable for hazmat transportation that can be solved efficiently. This paper extends the previous research by considering CVaR for hazmat transportation in the case where accident probabilities and accident consequences are time-dependent. We provide a numerical method to determine an optimal departure time and an optimal route for a given origin-destination pair. The proposed algorithm is tested in a realistic road network in Buffalo, NY, USA and the results are discussed.

Developing a Bi-level Objective Model of Risk-Cost Trade-off for Solving Locating-Routing Problem in Transportation of Hazardous Material
Allocating and routing problems in the field of transportation engineering are generally solved using the objective function of minimizing transport cost. Transport risk is a main concern in hazardous material transportation, mainly dependent on the vision of decision makers (national and/or local authorities). In this research work, a trade-off approach has been proposed to determine the safes...

متن کاملSpectral Risk Measure Minimization in Hazardous Materials Transportation
Due to catastrophic consequences of accidents by hazardous materials (hazmat) transportation, a risk-averse approach for routing is appropriate for risk mitigation. In this paper, we consider spectral risk measures, which are coherent and more general than existing approaches such as conditional value-at-risk. In spectral risk measures, one can define the spectrum function precisely to reflect ...
متن کاملApplication of Chaos Theory in Hazardous Material Transportation
Risk factors are generally defined and assigned to road networks, as constant measures in hazmat routing problems. In fact, they may be dynamic variables depending on traffic volume, weather and road condition, and drivers' behavior. In this research work, risk factors are defined as dynamic variables using the concept of chaos theory. The largest Lyapunov exponent is utilized to determine the ...
متن کاملWorst-Case Conditional Value-at-Risk Minimization for Hazardous Materials Transportation
Despite significant advances in risk management, routing hazardous materials (hazmat) has relied on relatively simpler methods. In this paper, we formally introduce an advanced risk measure, called conditional valueat-risk (CVaR), applied to truck routing problems for hazmat transportation. We find that CVaR offers a flexible, risk-averse, and computationally tractable routing method that is ad...
