Overview
- Puts forward a holistic approach to quantitative risk assessment for dangerous goods
- Provides an introduction to quantitative vulnerability
- Presents a systematic, top-down approach that helps readers to follow the logical thread behind the models and methods employed
- Introduces the analytical models using a ‘problem statement–solution’ approach
- Includes valuable primers introducing the methods employed together with further references, thus supporting those readers less familiar with a specific topic
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Topics in Safety, Risk, Reliability and Quality (TSRQ, volume 31)

About this book
Examining both rail and road transportation, the book is divided into three sections, covering: the mature and accepted (by both academia and practitioners) methodology of risk assessment; the vulnerability assessment – a novel approach proposed as a vital complement to risk; guidance and support to build the tools that make methods and equations to yield: the Decision Support Systems. Throughout the book, the authors do not endeavor to provide THE solution. Instead, the book offers insightful food for thought for students, researchers, practitioners and policymakers alike.
