This book addresses a key issue in today's society: the safer
transport of dangerous goods, taking into account people, the
environment and economics. In particular, it offers a potential
approach to identifying the issues, developing the models,
providing the methods and recommending the tools to address the
risks and vulnerabilities involved. We believe this can only be
achieved by assessing those risks in a comprehensive, quantifiable
and integrated manner. Examining both rail and road transportation,
the book is divided into three sections, covering: the mature and
accepted (by both academia and practitioners) methodology of risk
assessment; the vulnerability assessment - a novel approach
proposed as a vital complement to risk; guidance and support to
build the tools that make methods and equations to yield: the
Decision Support Systems. Throughout the book, the authors do not
endeavor to provide THE solution. Instead, the book offers
insightful food for thought for students, researchers,
practitioners and policymakers alike.
