Background and aims: All over the world, and particularly in industrialized countries, the transport of hazardous materials has till years a continuously increasing trend. Public concern is focused mainly on road and rail transport, since the routes used for road and rail transportation of hazardous substances necessarily come closer and sometimes also cross densely populated areas. In this st...
Recently, the Value-at-Risk (VaR) framework was introduced for the routing problem of a single hazmat trip. In this paper, we extend the VaR framework in two important ways. First, we show how to apply the VaR concept to a more realistic multi-trip multi-hazmat type framework, which determines routes that minimize the global VaR value while satisfying equity constraints. Second, we show how to ...
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 ...
UNLABELLED U.S. guidance for examining hazmat workers recommends stress testing be considered when heat stress is expected. However, the most common stress test-Bruce protocol treadmill electrocardiography (BPTE) wearing gym clothes-creates little thermal stress. OBJECTIVE Evaluate a novel thermal stress treadmill walk (TSTW). METHODS Body temperatures and heart rates during BPTE in 93 curr...
Natural disasters may be powerful and prominent mechanisms of direct and indirect hazardous material (hazmat) releases. Hazardous materials that are released as the result of a technologic malfunction precipitated by a natural event are referred to as natural-technologic or na-tech events. Na-tech events pose unique environmental and human hazards. Disaster-associated hazardous material release...
This paper introduces a Value-at-Risk (VaR) model to generate route choices for a hazmat shipment based on a specified risk confidence level. The objective is to determine a route which minimizes the likelihood that the risk will be greater than a set threshold. Several properties of the VaR model are established. An exact solution procedure is proposed and tested to solve the single-trip probl...
