Abstract
In the last years, the European Commission has increased its effort to improve safety on road infrastructures by adopting new directives to guarantee users a high, uniform and continuous level of service. In this paper, the authors describe the current normative state of the art on Dangerous Good Transport (DGT) by road and introduce innovative initiatives at European level to prevent risk in this context. Then, the authors introduce the architecture of the DGT Information System developed in Italy exploring technological and methodological approaches applied to monitor and detect in real time DG vehicles. The DGT information system can be applied to implement additional decision support systems to manage the fleet routing, the customer orders, and other support tools for drivers including training, resource management and advanced data mining.
