“…They compared existing DSS, concluding that they are quite advanced but improvable and that the transportation of DG crosses different scientific fields, such as risk management, transportation of goods and territorial planning. In addition, Turkmen et al [27] developed a DSS based on the Analytical Hierarchy Process to help decision makers choose between alternative routes for DG transportation through tunnels.…”

Managing the transportation of dangerous goods (DG) through road tunnels is of great importance since it is associated with a serious risk of accidents. The consequences of an accident involving DG, especially in the closed tunnel environment, might be more significant and even more catastrophic compared to the same accident occurring on an open road. This article presents the Greek experience regarding the application of quantitative risk assessment (QRA) methods for the transportation of DG through Greek road tunnels. The modified Delphi method, with the participation of nine experts, is employed to investigate the obstacles to successfully conforming with the mandatory European Union regulatory framework that applies to transport operations within the Trans-European road network. Recommendations are made to improve the applied QRA approach, to facilitate the cooperation between tunnel managers and emergency services, to communicate lessons learned and to enhance the training of risk assessors.
