Risk Assessment of Transportation of Dangerous Goods
Hazardous materials are defined to be the substances that can have harmful effects for human, environment and property. These risks exist due to the nature, the hazardous properties or the state of the above materials. Industrial needs as well as several human activities depend on the daily transportation of dangerous goods. The percentage of road accidents in which hazardous materials are invo...
متن کاملStudy on Dangerous Signal Mining of Dangerous Goods Transport Vehicles
Dangerous signal mining method of dangerous goods transport vehicles and how to improve the accuracy of the mining are studied in the paper. There are many dangerous conditions such as high temperature, high pressure and other dangerous condition caused by the influence of the external factors such as friction in the transportation process of dangerous goods. If people can discover these danger...
متن کاملRailroad transportation of dangerous goods: Population exposure to airborne toxins
Hazardous materials are potentially harmful to people and environment due to their toxic ingredients. Although a significant portion of dangerous goods transportation is via railroads, prevailing studies on dangerous goods transport focus on highway shipments. We present an analytical framework that incorporates the differentiating features of trains, notably volume and nature of cargo, in the ...
متن کاملA Tactical Planning Model for Railroad Transportation of Dangerous Goods
Railroad transportation of hazardous materials did not receive as much attention as highway transportation in the academic literature, although comparable volumes are shipped via these two transport modes in North America and Europe. In this paper we present an optimization methodology for the railroad tactical planning problem with risk and cost objectives. We determine the routes to be utiliz...
متن کاملOptimizing Railroad Tank Car Safety Design to Reduce Dangerous Goods Transportation Risk
This paper describes an optimization model developed to determine the most efficient way to enhance the safety design of tank cars used to transport toxic inhalation hazard (TIH) materials in North America and a quantitative risk analysis conducted to assess the risk and potential benefit of implementing enhanced safety-design tank cars. The conditional probability of release and the car's weig...
