LOGISTICS FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TRANSPORTATION: SCHEDULING, ROUTING, AND SITING. FINAL REPORT

The work reported here comprises Phase 1 (first year) of a two year research project on "Logistics for Hazardous Materials Transportation." The project involves the development of decision support systems that can help decision makers, public and private, improve the management of hazardous materials logistics (including that for radioactive wastes). The areas of principal concern are: the routing of hazardous material and waste shipments, the scheduling of these shipments, and the siting of the facilities that process or treat the wastes. Once developed, these decision support systems will (1) help shippers obtain good, normative solutions to their logistics problems and (2) advise public agencies regarding the impacts of policy decisions, regulations, etc. A multiobjective routing model that explicitly considers the probabilistic aspects of hazardous materials transportation is presented.
