Moses In June 1991, the Transportation Center at Northwestern University sponsored Hazmat Transport '91: A National Conference on the Transportation of Hazardous Materials and Wastes. The faculty associated with the center were aware that there had been many professional, industrial and government conferences and meetings on the subject. However, they believed that the unique capacity of the Transportation Center to bring together leaders from industry and government, as well as leading scholars from economics, law, engineering, psychology and sociology who have done research on the problems associated with the transportation of hazardous materials and wastes (hazmats), could produce a set of integrated insights and understandings that would go well beyond those of previous conferences. The papers that make up this volume were all delivered at Hazmat Transport '91. From a legislative point of view, they tend to deal with issues associated with the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act of 1975 (HMTA), the original act passed to regulate the transportation of hazardous materials, and the Hazardous Materials Transportation Uniform Safety Act of 1990 (HMTVSA). There were talks and papers presented at the conference that focused on other recent legislation and transportation issues with which HMTUSA does not deal. The conference proceedings volume also had discussions and papers on significant managerial and regulatory issues that could not be included in this volume because of constraints on its size. Therefore, this essay is made up of three parts.
Download or read book Reliability and Risk Assessment in Engineering written by Vijay Kumar Gupta and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-08 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a collection of articles on reliability and safety engineering presented during INCRS 2018. The articles cover a variety of topics such as big data analytics and their applications in reliability assessment and condition monitoring, health monitoring, management, diagnostics and prognostics of mechanical systems, design for reliability and optimization, and machine learning for industrial applications. A special aspect of this volume is the coverage of performance, failure and reliability issues in electrical distribution systems. This book will be a useful reference for graduate students, researchers and professionals working in the area of reliability assessment, condition monitoring and predictive maintenance.

Download or read book Guidelines for Chemical Transportation Risk Analysis written by American Institute of Chemical Engineers. Center for Chemical Process Safety and published by Wiley-AIChE. This book was released on 1995-04-15 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's environment, management and citizen concerns make the skilled practice of Transportation Risk Analysis (TRA) imperative. This book offers a sound, basic approach to TRA, which can be used to manage and control transportation risks by identifying the parameters with the greatest influence on a given movement, or to identify and evaluate risk reduction strategies. Together with Guidelines for Chemical Process Quantitative Risk Analysis (CCPS, 1989), it will enable the process engineer to run basic analyses and to effectively manage those, which are more complex.

Download or read book Hazardous Materials Transportation Risk Analysis written by W. R. Rhyne and published by Van Nostrand Reinhold Company. This book was released on 1994 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we predict and control risks related to the transportation of hazardous substances? This book explains what a transportation quantitative risk analysis is, how to communicate risk study objectives to an experienced risk analyst, and how to do a reasonably detailed calculation based on available risk data. The author explains the quantitative risk analysis (QRA) procedure and its application to transportation. He familiarizes readers with sources of data specific to accident rate, probabilistic distribution of accident force magnitude, and conditional probability of container failure. Risk analysis methodologies and data uncertainties are also clearly explained. A special feature of the book is an extended example of a quantitative risk analysis for bulk transport of chlorine by truck and train. This detailed example explores every step of the QRA from preliminary hazards analysis to risk reduction alternatives. This example can be adapted to many practical situations. Methodologies are provided for accident scenario development, frequency and consequence analysis, and risk presentation. The book has in-depth discussions of Definitions of basic risk analysis terms Mathematical formulations for transportation quantitative risk analysis Databases for accident rate and frequency, accident force types and magnitudes, container failure probability, and release amounts Engineering models for container failure analysis Quantification of the risk reduction of modifying container design A generalized fault tree that can be easily modified for different types of transportation risk analysis The discussion of consequence analysis delves into release rates and amounts, airborne dispersion, toxic material effects, exposed populations, and exposure mitigation measures. Analysis results for both individual and societal risks are discussed. Appendices cover numerical evaluation of train and truck accident scenario frequencies and source term characterization. Hazardous Materials Transportation Risk Analysis will be a valuable reference for supervisors and managers who ship, receive, or transport hazardous materials: state, federal, and local transportation officials; transportation packaging engineers; and others, such as emergency planners and environmental analysts, who have reason to understand transportation risk.
