Managing the transportation of dangerous goods (DG) through road tunnels is of great importance since it is associated with a serious risk of accidents. The consequences of an accident involving DG, especially in the closed tunnel environment, might be more significant and even more catastrophic compared to the same accident occurring on an open road. This article presents the Greek experience regarding the application of quantitative risk assessment (QRA) methods for the transportation of DG through Greek road tunnels. The modified Delphi method, with the participation of nine experts, is employed to investigate the obstacles to successfully conforming with the mandatory European Union regulatory framework that applies to transport operations within the Trans-European road network. Recommendations are made to improve the applied QRA approach, to facilitate the cooperation between tunnel managers and emergency services, to communicate lessons learned and to enhance the training of risk assessors.

Analysis And Synthesis

Due to transport incidents and accidents involving dangerous goods, which cause significant damage to the infrastructure and environment, there is a need to study ways of preventing losses from these accidents and minimizing their costs. The purpose of the paper is to develop a method for determining the acceptability of transport operations involving dangerous goods under normal conditions. The methods used in the study include analysis and synthesis, risk management and Delphi methods. The key outcome of the study is a developed method founded on an integrated generalized criterion for acceptability of the main transport operations involving dangerous goods. This criterion is based on risk assessment. It has been established that the safety of transportation is determined by the maximum level of dynamic loads, impact velocity, energy absorption efficiency, braking mode of railway cars, and degree of risk.
