Hazardous Materials (hazmat) -an integral part of our industrial lifestyle -are often transported in significant volumes. For example, oil extracted from oil fields is sent to refineries for processing, and then transported to different parts of the world for storage and consumption. According to the most recent study conducted by the Dangerous Goods Directorate at Transport Canada, 86% of the nearly 80,000 daily domestic (non-bulk) hazmat shipments are moved by surface transportation modes (viz., railroad and trucks), while marine is the predominant mode for transporting bulk commodities (such as oil). The goal of this research program is to develop assessment methodologies, analytical approaches and solution techniques to facilitate planning of and mitigating risk from transportation of hazmat. Although most of the projects will be based on marine transportation, we also intend to build on our works in the railroad and intermodal domain to solve more complex problems.

危险材料（hazmat）-我们工业生活方式的一个组成部分-经常大量运输。 例如，从油田中提取的石油被送到炼油厂进行加工，然后运输到世界各地进行储存和消费。 根据加拿大运输部危险品管理局最近进行的研究，每天近8万件国内（非散装）危险品运输中有86%是通过地面运输方式（即，铁路和卡车），而海运是运输大宗商品（如石油）的主要方式。 该研究计划的目标是开发评估方法，分析方法和解决方案技术，以促进危险品运输的规划和减轻风险。虽然大多数项目将以海运为基础，但我们也打算在铁路和多式联运领域的基础上解决更复杂的问题。
