DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis synthesis will be of interest to staff of state departments of transportation responsible for highway routing, traffic engineering, traffic operations and signing, and maintenance. It will also be useful to state police, who may also be responsible for routing, and other enforcement personnel, as well as to emergency and fire personnel. The trucking industry will also find the information of value to their operations. Information is presented on the current practices of states for the highway routing of vehicles that transport hazardous materials. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in 1994 issued Guidelines for Applying Criteria to Designate Routes for Transporting Hazardous Materials, which are used by agencies that elect to designate such routes. This report of the Transportation Research Board is based on information obtained from a survey of states concerning the routing of hazardous materials vehicles that asked respondents to rate the importance of 24 factors in the categories of roadway, environment, population, or other criteria in establishing routing policy. The survey also identified the principal agencies responsible for routing, as well as other agencies that typically participate in the routing plan. Enforcement and cost issues are discussed, as is risk assessment. This report presents a unique discussion of the issues as identified by interviews with trucking trade associations and other organizations involved with hazardous materials transport. In addition, technology applicable to more effective monitoring and enforcement is described. The appendices include commodity flow studies and route designation case studies for selected jurisdictions.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTechniques are explained that may be used for evaluating alternative highway routes for hazardous materials movements. The criteria that may be applied for hazardous materials routing is briefly described and their application is illustrated by an example. Current routing practices, with existing regulatory requirements, are described as background. An overview of the routing method is followed by a description of the guidelines and procedures for applying the routing criteria. The concept of risk is defined and each step in the route selection explained. A hypothetical case study illustrates the application of the routing procedures; the example includes personal and property risk calculations and illustrates the techniques for analyzing urban arterials and rural highways. Blank worksheets and forms for structuring and conducting the routing analyses are appended.
