Risk management of hazardous material transportation

摘要

In recent years on Lithuanian roads a considerable amount of hazardous materials have been transported, especially oil products. However, there is no common methodology which could assess the risk of such transportation. Lithuania has accepted directives, norms and other acts of law related to risk and hazard assessment and prevention that are valid in the European Union. In relation to this situation, hazard assessment and analysis has even greater significance. The novelty of the work is associated with employing the Markov process to describe a hazard distribution mechanism and to determine a limited hazard distribution in the nodes of networks.
