Multimodal plays a more significant role in long distances transportation of hazardous materials, while there haven't been systemic risk evaluation methods to hazmat multimodal transportation. Considering that the risk of hazmat transportation has the characteristics of low probability and high consequence, this paper studies how CVaR applied to the routing optimization of hazmat multimodal transportation while CVaR could better compute the tail loss of risk. We build a multimodal hazmat transportation risk assessment model in this paper, and prove its effectiveness by a computational study. Results show that the proposed model can provide a CVaR optimal transportation path to hazmat multimodal transportation in realistic.

“…Risk is the most popular item studied by majority of the authors dealing with hazmat transportation. For the recent studies; Toumazis and Kwon, [5] studied on minimizing the risk experienced by the hazmat shipment transportation in any given time-dependent; Chakrabarti and Parikh, [6] prepared a risk-based study of route evaluation, Saat et al [7] proposed a quantitative analytical approach to estimate the risk cost of transporting hazardous materials by rail and Cappanera and Nonato, [8] focused on how to efficiently compute the Pareto frontier given by the non dominated solutions with respect to total risk and total cost on realistic instances taken from the literature.…”

“…Few attempts to quantify environmental risks were based on exceedance of the time needed by ecosystems to recover from damage (Jonkman et al, 2003), cost to mitigate environmental pollution (Anand, 2006), clean-up costs (Saat et al, 2014), and the area of environmental components within a certain bandwidth (Jennings and Suresh, 1986). Pradhananga et al (2014) obtained the Pareto optimal solutions for a hazardous material transportation problem and compared CO 2 , NO x and particulate matter emissions originating from transportation.…”

This paper presents a multi objective mixed integer location/routing model that aims to minimize transportation cost and risks for large-scale hazardous waste management systems (HWMSs). Risks induced by hazardous wastes (HWs) on both public and the environment are addressed. For this purpose, a new environmental impact definition is proposed that considers the environmentally vulnerable elements including water bodies, agricultural areas, coastal regions and forestlands located within a certain bandwidth around transportation routes. The solution procedure yields to Pareto optimal curve for two conflicting objectives. The conceptual model developed prior to mathematical formulation addresses waste-to-technology compatibility and HW processing residues to assure applicability of the model to real-life HWMSs. The suggested model was used in a case study targeting HWMS in Turkey. Based on the proposed solution, it was possible to identify not only the transportation routes but also a set of information on HW handling facilities including the types, locations, capacities, and investment/operational cost. The HWMS of this study can be utilized both by public authorities and private sector investors for planning purposes.
