Abstract: | The article provides information on transportation of dangerous freight. Legal acts regulating transportation of Dangerous
freight are discussed. Major problems and non-compliances with The European Agreement concerning International Carriage of
Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) are distinguished. The type of risk that one encounters is analysed, as well as who is to take
responsibility for transportation of dangerous freight. Transport accidents of dangerous substances are increasingly frequent and can
cause serious injuries in inhabited areas or pollution of the environment. For quantitative risk assessment and mitigation planning,
consequence calculations are necessary. The aim of this article is to present methods of the first approach for calculating costs and
overall expenses of an accident and to demonstrate the main recommendations for the next development stage in the area of
transport accident modelling. By the means of risk assessment models, it is possible to calculate the extent of the consequences and
reduce the risks during the process of transportation. Based on Technology of Dangerous Freight Transportation, the accident
calculation principles are suggested, which enables to assess the costs and to find a generalized accident rate. The calculation results
are provided. |
