The process involves global benefits local costs and, typically, considerable uncertainties. methodologies are designed improve outcomes must be coordinated carefully with broader view siting. Hazardous materials transportation problems in OR literature involve determining optimal routing transport modes minimize several criteria involving expected cost consequences accidents. provides an overview recent research on nature hazardous facility related focus route-mode selection issues, location models decision analysis choosing between predetermined sites. Decision (DA) has proven useful approach structuring problem. or facilities, including simultaneous choice choices is also reviewed chapter.
