Hazardous Materials Transportation Risk Analysis: Quantitative Approaches for Truck and Train

Abstract

This book is intended for the transportation professional who wants to know what a transportation quantitative risk analysis is, what it can do, how to communicate risk study objectives to an experienced risk analyst either inside or outside of his/her company, and potentially how to do a reasonably detailed calculation. The text includes definitions of basic terms, the generic quantitative risk analysis procedure and how it is applied to transportation, sources of data specific to transportation quantitative risk analysis, and the methodology for frequency and consequence analysis. The transportation professional will come to understand the uncertainties in the data and methodology, and most important, how to use the results to reduce risk. For the quantitative risk analysis professional, specaial features of a transportation risk analysis are explained.
