Transportation of Hazardous Materials: Management, Coordination, and Optimization

由于对人员、财产和环境的潜在威胁和损害，危险物质（有害物质）的运输往往伴随着大量的风险。最近的拉克-姆萨杰特火车脱轨事件进一步引起世界对危险物品运输安全的注意。在拟建的研究项目中，将开展三个主题的研究，以解决危险物品运输的管理、协调和优化问题，从而显著降低系统风险。

Often transported in large volumes, hazardous materials (hazmat) shipments are always associated with substantial levels of risks, due to the potential threats and damage to people, property, and environment. The recent Lac-Mégantic train derailment further drew the world’s attention to the safety of hazmat transportation. In the proposed research program, three themes of studies will be conducted to address the management, coordination, and optimization of the hazmat transportation, so that the system risk can be significantly mitigated.
