Abstract:In recent years, hazardous materials transportation accidents have received increasing attention. Previous studies have focused on accidents involving a single vehicle. When vehicles loaded with materials gather on a stretch of road, a potential domino accident might cause terrible incidents.

The model calculates the possibility of leakage and explosion of hazardous chemicals using a dynamic Bayesian … Show more
