A ROUTING METHODOLOGY FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TRANSPORTATION TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ROAD NETWORK
Abstract: The shipments of hazardous materials (HAZMATs) induce various risks to the road network. Today, one of the major considerations of transportation system managers is HAZMATs shipments, due to the increasing demand of these goods (because it is more used in industry, agriculture, medicine, etc.), and the rising number of incidents that are associated to hazardous materials. This paper ...
متن کاملRisk Assessment for Hazardous Materials Transportation
The assessment of hazardous materials (HazMats) transport risk assumes a fundamental importance, especially in urban areas, in order to identify possible alternative routes and choose among these the route of minimum risk.It is necessary to appropriately integrate risk analysis with planning and transport management to prevent a potential danger being transformed into a real event.In the presen...
متن کاملPath Planning of Road Hazardous Material Transportation based on TransCAD
A risk assessment model is constructed for the hazardous materials (hazmat) road transportation combining features of TransCAD traffic forecasts, and based on traffic planning network of spatial analysis and attribute process, the database for path planning of hazmat transportation was set up. Based on the TransCAD platform, this research analyzes the risk value of hazmat transportation in each...
متن کاملIntegrated Risk Management Framework for Improving the Safety of Hazardous Materials Transportation by Rail
Millions of carloads of hazardous materials are transported annually throughout the North American railway network. The risk of hazardous materials release incidents makes railway transportation safety a high priority. A number of strategies have been implemented or are in development to reduce the risk. Each risk reduction strategy has a particular effect on safety and different risk reduction...
متن کاملComparison 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...
