Risk Assessment of Hazardous Materials Transportation by Rail
Abstract In this chapter we are first reporting the findings on train accidents experienced in the USA and Great Britain. Then we present information concerning the situation in Switzerland, and the Swiss Federal Rail Networki (SBB/CFF/FFS) is briefly described. The methodology proposed by BUWALii for assessing the risks of hazardous materials transportation by rail is explained in details, and finally, selected results of a risk assessment study prepared by SBB, that concern incident frequencies and the indicators used to represent the extent of expected potential damages are presented at the end of this chapter.
