When transporting hazardous materials by rail, train types (unit train or manifest train) can
influence derailment and release risks in several ways. Unit trains only experience risks on …

Railway operational accidents are usually caused by the domino effects of hazards.
Predicting such hazards before accidents is an essential way to prevent operational …

This paper strives for route optimization of hazardous material (hazmat) for given
probabilities and consequences. We aim to not only develop a model to determine the route …

Purpose Accurately estimating the severity of derailment is a crucial step in quantifying train
derailment consequences and, thereby, mitigating its impacts. The purpose of this paper is …

Freight trains provide a safe and efficient way of transporting substantial amount of
hazardous material (hazmat) across extensive distances. While the likelihood of hazmat …
