Abstract

This chapter aims to present work in the field of decision support system and risk engineering related to:
  • The design and implementation of an IDSS (Integrated Decision Support System) dedicated to integrated engineering with application to the transportation of hazardous substances

  • The construction of advanced models to a) estimate the optimal routing for the transportation of hazardous substances and b) optimise plans for emergency preparedness and management in case of potential (severe) accidents

  • The design of tools to represent risk to the public by using a GIS (Geographic Information System) calculation platform, generically applicable to Switzerland

  • Targeting a hazardous substance (e.g., epichlorohydrin) in the first phase
