Abstract

The authors examined the scientific basis for managing environmental and economic risks in the transport of dangerous goods by rail. The importance of optimizing the monitoring of environmental safety and the organization of environmental risk management was noted. The paper presents the interrelation of the functional strategy of ensuring the reliability of the transportation process with other strategies. A new functional strategy and a schematic diagram of the environmental management system for making management decisions to optimize environmental management in railway transport have been proposed. A conceptual apparatus has been developed to identify and determine environmental risks and the principle of their management during the transport of dangerous goods by railway transport.

Highlights

Modern society in its activities often goes into risks and unstable states that are associated with emergencies of different levels
One of the important directions of the presented work is the development of strategies for managing environmental risks during transportation and handling hazardous products during railway transportation with the purpose of risks minimizing, which is one of the priorities of environmental safety on the railways today
The results obtained by different methods vary, dangerous goods transportation) and local objects with but the study of differences between them has revealed the significant potential risk, it is necessary others, which affect the accuracy of evaluation and the to analyze the peculiarities of the criteria application for reliability of results

Summary

Introduction

Modern society in its activities often goes into risks and unstable states that are associated with emergencies of different levels. The authors have set and implemented the tasks of simplifying and improving the methodology for assessing (taking into account) the risks of transport accidents and economic losses of railway lines, separate territories and specific routes for dangerous goods transportation, with regard existing dangerous crossings with pipelines and motor transport, the presence of adjacent industrial and urban structures (in the areas of mass transshipment of oil cargo, in particular), as well as various factors of natural hazards. The results obtained by different methods vary, dangerous goods transportation) and local objects with but the study of differences between them has revealed the significant potential risk (oil stores, petroleum terminals, factors contained in some methods and are absent in fuel-and-bulk discharge refueling units), it is necessary others, which affect the accuracy of evaluation and the to analyze the peculiarities of the criteria application for reliability of results
