Evaluation of key factors in transportation risk analysis
… (SNF) and high-level radioactive waste (HLRW). Risk analyses could be used to support transportation decisions (such as route and mode selection) pertaining to the repository program; The purpose of this study is to develop a procedure to facilitate comparative transportation risk assessment. A …

A simulation study for hazardous materials transportation risk assessment
All the areas in Canada are subjected to risk by hazardous-materials shipments. Some of these shipments take place locally or regionally, but a large number of them involve inter-provincial movements across significant distances, and this introduces further complications. According to a 1997 report …

Optimizing Railroad Tank Car Safety Design to Reduce Hazardous Materials Transportation Risk
… phase addresses the tradeoff between safety and transportation efficiency by using Pareto optimization to identify the most efficient design combinations to improve safety while minimizing incremental weight. The second phase involves estimation of chemical-specific hazard levels and calculation …
