Abstract

One of the main conditions for the transportation of goods, especially dangerous, is minimizing all types of eventual cost in the event of an emergency. The cost value depends on multiples factors, which are significantly influenced by the location of the train in different places (such as running line, technical stations, residential places, etc.). The proposed approaches on the basis of the queuing theory will allow choosing traveling routes of cars with dangerous goods providing the minimum average cost reduced to one emergency situation.

Highlights

The transport industry needs accelerated development in the current competitive conditions during the transition to market relations
Transportation of dangerous goods (DG) takes an important place in railway transportation; it should be prompt, and safe, while complying with high international standards, since emergency situations with trains which include cars with DG always have more severe consequences, which in turn leads to heavier material damage
Leading scientists of the world have been engaged in raising the safety level and reducing costs caused by the onset of transport emergencies during transportation of DG

Summary

Introduction

The transport industry needs accelerated development in the current competitive conditions during the transition to market relations. Improving the service quality is one of the key conditions that affect the level of demand for transport services. Railway transport has a leading position in the transport system and is the main carrier of goods. Transportation of dangerous goods (DG) takes an important place in railway transportation; it should be prompt, and safe, while complying with high international standards, since emergency situations with trains which include cars with DG always have more severe consequences, which in turn leads to heavier material damage
