The goal of the Thesis is the analysis of maritime transportation of dangerous goods. Thesis is divided into 4 Parts. Chapter 1 describes development of dangerous goods regulations with the emphasis on maritime safety and environmental aspects. Chapter 2 is based on the analysis of IMDG Code, whose regulations have the fundamental importance for the carriages of dangerous goods by sea. Chapter 3 is dedicated to the basic duties of the parties included in the maritime transportation of dangerous goods- carriers on the one side and shippers on the other side. Final Chapter is related to the maritime carriage of oil - one of the dangerous substances with the strategic importance.

Thesis deals with the transport of dangerous goods. It is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part is presented by European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road, the obligations of individual participants in the transport, class of dangerous substances and articles, the documents required for carriage, used packaging and safety signs as well as provisions for loading, unloading and handling. The practical part describes the specific case which occurred during the transport of dangerous goods, their assessment and propose preventive measures.

The transport of dangerous goods is one of the most complicated kinds of transportation. Dangerous goods have characteristics that can be hazardous for people, properties and environment. That is why the dangerous shipment have to be transported according to the special rules. The ADR agreement heads towards the unification of those rules between all contracting parties and it also contributes to the elimination or reduction of accidents.

Le transport de matières dangereuses (TMD) représente une source de danger pour les zones traversées. Ce danger peut produire des conséquences graves pour l’environnement, les biens ou les humains surtout si un accident aura lieu lors du transport. Due à l’importance de ces produits (essence, matières premières, médicaments) dans la vie quotidienne et à l’augmentation de la demande sur ces matières, il est utile d’analyser et d’évaluer le niveau de risque lié au TMD pour le minimiser. Ce risque dépend de la route suivie, de la quantité transportée, du moment de la journée, du trafic, des conditions météorologiques ainsi que de la densité de population des zones traversées. Il est caractérisé par les cibles qui sont exposées pour un temps donné et son niveau qui varie selon le temps et l'espace. L’objectif de cette thèse est d’évaluer et d’estimer le niveau de risque lié à un accident, et plus précisément le risque lié à l’expédition de marchandises dangereuses. Diverses méthodes sont élaborées pour proposer des modèles permettant de résoudre ce problème tout en tenant compte de différents paramètres tels que, le trafic, les conditions météorologiques, le coût et le temps du transport, ainsi que de leurs changements au cours du temps afin de détecter la meilleure route à suivre. La première partie de cette thèse représente l’état de l’art sur les différentes techniques d’analyse de risque pour le transport de matières dangereuses. Ensuite, deux approches sont proposées et étudiées en détail : une approche basée sur la simulation de Monte Carlo qui sert à évaluer le niveau de risque lié à un accident, et une autre qui estime le niveau de risque lié à une expédition de MD. La deuxième partie traite le problème de l’aspect temporel dans l’analyse de risque. En effet, l’importance du trafic, le taux d’occupation des bâtiments et les conditions météorologiques changent fortement selon le moment de la journée. À cause de la complexité de notre système (plusieurs entités, systèmes distribués, entités avec plusieurs niveaux d'abstraction, etc.), nous sommes tournés vers une approche de simulation multi-agents et nous proposons et implémentons un méta modèle d’agents avec une facette « risque ». Cette facette nous permet de représenter l’analyse de risque et la propagation de défaillance dans un modèle multi-agents. La troisième partie de cette thèse porte sur l’évaluation du niveau de risque lié au TMD. Dans un premier temps, nous proposons une approche d’évaluation basée sur l’évaluation de la fréquence d’un accident et de sa gravité. Ensuite, nous implémentons un simulateur en proposant le couplage de chacune de deux approches présentées dans la première partie avec le méta modèle d’agents présenté dans la seconde partie. Dans un second temps, comme la prise de décision est affectée par l’aspect économique et temporel (coût d’une expédition et durée du trajet), nous sommes face à un problème de décision multicritère (MCDM). Pour prendre en compte le fait que plusieurs paramètres utilisés dans l’analyse de risque sont incertains, nous avons utilisé une approche à base de nombres flous avec une extension de méthodes MCDM pour traiter ces incertitudes. Toutes ces méthodes sont implémentées sous Eclipse. Ensuite, un outil de simulation est développé. Il permet d’analyser le niveau de risque et de réaliser des cartographies qui illustrent la position instantanée du camion avec les zones impactées au cas d’accident. Ce travail est inscrit dans le cadre du projet GEOTRANS-MD. / Dangerous Goods Transport (DGT) represents a source of danger to the crossed areas. This danger can produce serious consequences for the environment, property or human beings. Due to the importance of these products (gasoline, first material, medicines) in everyday life and the increasing demand on these products, it is important to analyze and assess the level of risk related to DGT in order to minimize it. This risk depends on the followed route, the quantity of transported products, the time of day, the weather conditions and the population density of crossed areas. It is characterized by the targets that are exposed for a given time, and by the risk level that varies with time and space.The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate and assess the risk level related to an accident and especially risk related to DGT. Several methods to calculate the risk level, related to DGT, have been proposed in the literature. In most of these methods, the temporal aspect has not been taken explicitly into account in spite of its importance. Indeed, the volume of traffic, the building occupancy rates or weather conditions could greatly change depending on the time of day.The first part of this thesis summarizes the state of the art on risk analysis. Next, we present two approaches for assessing risk related to DGT systems: the former serves to evaluate the risk level of an accident and it is based on Monte Carlo Simulation, while the latter aims at assessing the risk level along a trajectory.The second part focuses on the temporal aspect and due to the complexity of our system (several entities, distributed systems, entities with multiple levels of abstraction, etc.), we are turned to a multi-agent simulation approach and we define a meta-model agent with a risk facet, a generic facet. This facet allows us to represent the risk analysis and failure propagation in an agent model.The third part of this thesis illustrates a proposed approach to assess the risk level related to DGT. Firstly, we propose formulas to assess the accident frequency and severity. Then, we present the implementation of both simulation approaches proposed in the first part using the agent based model proposed in the second part. Secondly, as decision-making is affected by the economic and temporal aspects (cost of shipping and travel time), we are facing a multi-criteria decision making problem (MCDM). In addition, to take into account the fact that several parameters used in risk analysis are uncertain, we have used fuzzy numbers. Next, we have proposed an approach, which integrates MCDM methods with fuzzy numbers, to identify the best route for DGT among a set of alternatives. The purpose of this approach is to provide decision support for decision makers such as, public authorities and emergency services in case of emergency.A simulation tool is developed in Eclipse, which allows us to analyze the level of risk and realizes maps that show the instantaneous position of the truck with the impacted areas in the case of accident. This work is a part of the GEOTRANS-MD project.

This diploma thesis deals with the transport of dangerous goods by rail in order to present and map this issue. Carriage of such cargo poses a threat to persons, animals, property and the environment, therefore it folllows the special rules established in the international agreement RID. The emphasis is placed on its analysis and subsequent application of acquired theoretical knowledge to a practical example of transport of dangerous flammable and toxic substances to the East European country.

This master thesis is focused on the international transportation of ammunition. The aim of my thesis is to map the international transportation of ammunition as a part of transportation of dangerous goods. The first part concentrates on the theoretical framework of transportation of ammunition - on the definitions, permits, licenses, reporting and characteristics of the various international multilateral agreements. The emphasis is put on classification, labeling, packing and documentations that are necessary for transport of ammunition. The last part is focused on the international company Sellier & Bellot JSC and followed by specific transportation on international export session.

When transporting dangerous goods, there are many direct and subsidiary risks associated with transportation of such goods for people, property, animals, infrastructure and even so environment. This diploma thesis deals with way of such transport by using inland waterways. It's targeted at anybody who wants to be informed of international legislation, possibilities, risks and other issues associated with inland waterway transport process.
