Fire fighter deaths from tanker truck rollovers.
Mobile water supply vehicles, known as tankers or tenders, are widely used to transport water to areas beyond a water supply system or where the water supply is inadequate. Incidents in volving motor vehicles account for approximately 20% of U.S. fire fighter deaths each year; cases involving tankers are the most prevalent of these motor vehicle incidents. During 1977–1999, 73 deaths occurred ...
متن کاملInitial effects ofthe grounding ofthe tanker Braer
Objective-To determine if the oil spillage from the tanker Braer had any immediate health effects on the exposed resident population. Design-Cohort study with a comparison against controls, exposure status being assigned on the basis ofgeographical location. Setting-Rural Shetland. Subjects-All those resident on or after 5 January 1993 (day 0) within 4 5 km of the site of tanker's grounding. Co...
متن کاملAn oil outflow model for tanker collisions and groundings
In this paper we have developed an oil outflow model for collision and grounding accidents of tankers. The collision model explicitly links input variables such as tanker hull design (single or double), displacement and speed, striking vessel displacement and speed, and the interaction angle of both vessels to output variables: longitudinal and transversal damage extents of the tanker. Overlayi...
متن کاملStochastic Modeling of Tanker Traffic through Narrow Waterways
In this paper a stochastic model of tanker traffic is developed to determine the probability of vessel casualties resulting from the transit traffic through a narrow waterway. More specifically, the present study models the collision and grounding probabilities in a waterway resulting from course changes due to hydrodynamic forces acting on the vessel. The computation of vessel positions and th...
متن کاملOil Tanker Design Methodology Considering Probabilis- Tic Accident Damage
This paper proposes a total-system design methodology that includes four important components necessary for a systematic approach to oil tanker concept design. These are: • An efficient and effective search of design space for optimal or non-dominated designs • Well-defined and quantitative measures of objective attributes, cost and risk • An effective format to describe the design space and to...
