MULTI-OBJECTIVE PROGRAMMING APPROACH FOR ROUTING HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

This is an examination of the systemwide routing of harzardous materials as a means of reducing the threat to the population residing along the links of an entire transportation network. The proposed model includes criteria relating to routing risk, routing cost, and property damages. A capacitated and a noncapicitated version fo the multi-objective routing model are also presented. A hypothetical example is used to display the applicatiblity of the proposed model. The risk estimation process as it relates to the transport of hazardous materials is discussed, and the proposed model is described in detail. The numerical results from the application of model is presented and the conclusions are summarized.
