Road risk analysis due to the transportation of chlorine in Rosario city

A risk assessment for chlorine releases as a consequence of truck accidents along the circumvallation highway around Rosario city is presented and an adapted computational system based on the DEGADIS model is developed.

Abstract

A risk assessment for chlorine releases as a consequence of truck accidents along the circumvallation highway around Rosario city is presented. A methodology capable of handling uncertainties and an adapted computational system based on the DEGADIS model is developed. Wind intensity, wind direction and atmospheric stability are treated as uncertain parameters. This is critical for the vulnerability calculation. As a result, chlorine concentration distributions and the risk in the area of interest are achieved.
