Empirical Analysis on Hazardous Material Transportation using Road Traffic Census and Accident Data
This study aims to identify the characteristics of hazardous-load transportation in Hokkaido, based on which a scheme for new road networks to reduce the risks associated with hazardous-load vehicles will be developed for the future. They study presents some new proposals, after analyzing the current situation regarding hazardous-load transportation, examining its problems and estimating accident occurrence risk rates, with a focus on two strategies to reduce the risk of accidents involving hazardous-load vehicles., choosing less populated areas as optimum routes for the transportation of hazardous materials, and completing transportation operations in a short time by choosing the shortest route.
