Technology progress is a cause of industrial hazardous wastes increasing in the whole world . Management of hazardous waste is a significant issue due to the imposed risk on environment and human life. This risk can be a result of location of undesirable facilities and also routing hazardous waste. In this paper a biobjective mixed integer programing model for location-routing industrial hazard...

Industrial hazardous materials (hazmat) are byproduct of industrial production and include hazardous goods, such as flammable, toxic and corrosive materials that pose a risk to the environment.Hazardous waste management includes collection, transportation, treatment, recycling and disposal of industrial hazardous material in an organized manner. With the increasing industrialization of countrie...

This research attempts to build a framework for determination of optimal routes for hazardous material transportation. Previous works have suggested incorporation of many conflicting objectives in the analysis, such as travel cost, population exposure, environmental risk or security concerns. Multiplying the number of objectives leads to complex shortest path problems that often have several ef...

Emergency response planning in case of a major accident (hazardous material event, nuclear accident) is very important for the protection of the public and workers' safety and health. In this context, several protective actions can be performed, such as, evacuation of an area; protection of the population in buildings; and use of personal protective equipment. The best solution is not unique wh...

4. With an aim to improve the waste management, Mongolia developed the following regulations: “A rule on classification, collection, temporary storage, transportation, treatment of hazardous wastes” (2002); “Regulation and procedures on disposal and landfill of hazardous waste of business entities, and requirements on waste containers and waste disposal sites” (2006); “Methodology for calculati...

The basic Vehicle Routing and Scheduling Problem (VRSP) is described followed by an outline of solution approaches. Different variations of the basic VRSP are examined that involve the consideration of additional constraints or other changes in the structure of the appropriate model. An introduction is provided to Green Logistics issues that are relevant to vehicle routing and scheduling includ...

Operations research has had a long and distinguished history of work in emergency preparedness and response, airline security, transportation of hazardous materials, and threat and vulnerability analysis. Since the attacks of September 11, 2001 and the formation of the US Department of Homeland Security, these topics have been gathered under the broad umbrella of homeland security. In addition,...
