General Info
WG5 have completed, in the context of "OECD/PIARC ERS2 Project", a risk assessment software for the road transport of dangerous goods in open-air road sections and in tunnels (Quantitative Risk Assessment Model, QRAM ver 3.50) as well as a decision-making support system (Decision Support Model, DSM). WG5 are interested, in the context of their responsibilities, in the promotion and use of this software by parties involved in the transport of Dangerous Goods through road tunnels. Note that the use of the QRA software has recently become compulsory in France (Circulars No. 2000-63 and 2000-82).
EOAE has completed in 2002, jointly with the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, a software package in GIS environment for the "Identification of the optimum routing for the transport of dangerous goods along Egnatia Motorway". During the meeting the EOAE-QRA software package has been presented to the members of WG5.
