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.

The Impact

To provide an objective tool for assessing the risks involved in the transport of dangerous goods, a model called RISKMOD-I was developed for Transport Canada by the Institute for Risk Research. The model implements the computational aspects of a comprehensive risk assessment methodology which addresses both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of dangerous goods releases following a transport incident. This paper describes the model's implementation, data requirements, and outputs.The risk assessment model consists of an analysis of link-specific accident rates and a fault tree analysis to determine the probability of a dangerous good release of a particular type. In parallel, a series of commodity-specified damage models compute the impact areas associated with representative sizes and types of releases. The impact areas for each damage threshold are then multiplied by the population density and property exposure along each link to determine the total risk associated with a dangerous goods shipment that uses the link. This estimate of total risk can optimally be further converted into a risk cost value in monetary terms and summarized for the entire route. Both the risk and risk cost estimates are intended to be used in conjunction with other subjective analyses and performance measures to provide a comprehensive decision-making aid for risk managers. Key words: dangerous goods transport, truck and rail accidents, risk analysis.
