A Methodology of Network Modeling of Risk Prioritization in Hazardous Product Transportation

Abstract

The Analytic Network Process (ANP) has been widely researched to choose the best alternative. However, it seems that no one shows interest in using such analytical process in developing the network design on ANP analysis for more accurate results. This paper presents the application of the Design Structure Matrix (DSM) and ANP techniques to develop a methodology that can make a precise network. The preliminary analysis of ANP proves that if the default network is correct, the result will be right as well. The application in this case study is on the transportation of hazardous products. The network designed can be analyzed with ANP to find suitable alternatives for creating a risk management plan, e.g. risk prioritization on transportation system development.
