A comprehensive risk assessment framework for offsite transportation of inflammable hazardous waste

Dynamic conditional value-at-risk model for routing and scheduling of hazardous material transportation networks

“…In addition of accident probability distributions, the link consequence distributions can be specified according to the severity levels of hazmat accidents, population density in the neighborhood of the links, and the region of exposure. In many recent works, these criteria are considered for estimating accident consequences and risks (Iosjpe et al 2009;Georgiadou et al 2010;Yang et al 2010;Chakrabarti and Parikh 2011a;Bonvicini et al 2012;Das et al 2012). We evaluated accident severities based on the following formula:…”

Pareto frontier analyses based decision making tool for transportation of hazardous waste

“…The risk assessment is carried out by analyzing the impact of a potential event on human population arising out of an accident of the hazardous waste carrier. The traditional definition of risk has been used for risk assessment [32][33][34]. Furthermore, the risk has been assessed in terms of the potential mortality and morbidity incidences due to a given event.…”

“…The potential mortality and morbidity has been estimated using the concept of DALY, i.e. Disability Adjusted Life Years [34][35][36][37]. An incident involving hazardous waste can trigger various events.…”

“…VCEs can result in high mortality in humans exposed to such events. In this study the impact of VCE has been taken into account for risk assessment during routing of hazardous waste carriers [34]. The methodology has been summarized and represented using a flow chart as shown in Fig.…”

Explosion impacts during transport of hazardous cargo: GIS-based characterization of overpressure impacts and delineation of flammable zones for ammonia

“…For instance, Das et al (2012) created a framework for risk assessment of transportation of hazardous wastes in respect to the population involved. Ronza et al (2007) proposed an event tree in an attempt to predict the probability of ignition of hydrocarbon spills based on statistical data.…”
