A Study on the Hazardous Material Routing--Selection of Routes with Low Environmental Impact / 危險物品運輸路線風險評估之研究--低環境衝擊路徑之優選

碩士 / 逢甲大學 / 土木及水利工程研究所 / 85 / The rapid economic and industrial development in Taiwan has
resulted in asignificant increase in demand of and has
generated large quantities ofhazardous materials. These
materials must be properly transported tofctories or to
final disposal sites. Accidents of vehicles carrying
hazardousmaterials on the raoad could result in severe
environmental consequens, particularly in highly populated
areas in Taiwan. Traditional environmentalplanning and
management usually involve deterministic models that do
noteasily reflect the reality. The objective of this study is
to develop a (0,1)linear integer programming model that
incorporates grey system theory toidentify the most suitable
routes for transporting hazardous materials. It canalso make
adjustments (select alternative routes) to react to the
accidentsthat occuron the preplanned routes ahead. The model is
applied to MetropolitanTaichung area from Tacihung Harbor to
Sun Yat-Sen National Freeway. The modelis also applied with
accidents road before the vehicles start the shipment andwhen
the vehicles are already on the road. In addition, the
model canincorporate the real-time vehicle navigation and
dispatch control systemcurrently being developed. The dispatch
control system includes a geographicalinformation system (GIS),
a global positioning system (GPS), and
sophisticatedcommunications system that can give real-time
traffic information. The modelon hazardous material routing
can benefit from the traffic information andidentify real-
time,best routes for the drivers of vehicles carrying
hazardousmaterials already on the road.
