Consequence Modelling of Accidents in Hazardous Substances Transportation

Original language description

At present, the estimation of consequences of accidents of mobile risk sources is executed merely sporadically, usually only by means of simple mathematical models. Major accidents of hazardous substances transport are increasingly frequent and can causeserious injuries in densely inhabited areas or pollution of the environment. On the basis of historical accidents and statistics four representatives hazardous substances for modelling were selected (ammonia, chlorine, LPG and gasoline). The selected substances for the case study of road and rail transportation represented potentially the most hazardous substances transported in the greatest quantities. Two main releases of selected materials are modelled in representative meteorological conditions: instantaneous release as worst case scenario and semi-continuous release as alternative scenario. The goal of the article is to present results of the modelling using standard models and to motivate the importance of the next development st
