Abstract:

This project analyzes different approaches for multi-criteria route selection for hazardous materials (hazmat) transportation on rail. Considering that hazmat transportation planning should regard many safety and risk factors, selecting a route for a shipment can be a challenging decision making problem. Furthermore, the safety and risk factors should be considered in an unbiased objective manner. Three unsupervised approaches are described route selection. A solution methodology is presented with these approaches. A set of numerical analyses is used to compare different approaches. Based on the results of the numerical analyses, it is discussed that, while each approach will output the best route based on a specific value, one of the approaches is more robust compared to the other two approaches. These approaches can be used by decision makers to select routes without a need for ranking and/or comparing various criteria.
