In the Serbian Armed Forces, oil and petroleum products are tran sported primarily for military units and institutions. The route for the movement of vehicles is selected during the transportation planning process. This paper describes a methodology for the selection of a route for the transport of dangerous goods and its application on one particular case in the Serbian Armed Forces.

Dangerous goods are substances with hazardous properties and products that can harm people, the environment or property. Incorrect transport or storage of such cargo can lead to human or animal disease, poisoning, burns, as well as explosion, fire, damage to other cargo, rolling stock, structures and equipment, contamination of the environment and water. It is not possible to avoid the risk of transporting dangerous goods, but it can be controlled and minimized.A study on the possibilities for improving the transport of dangerous goods in the European Union countries was carried out. The study was conducted using a survey method. Questionnaires were sent to transport companies carrying dangerous goods. These companies are based in the European Union countries. The purpose of the study was to find out what security measures the relevant transport company is taking to ensure the safe transport of dangerous goods, the modes of transport of the most dangerous goods, the countries where the dangerous goods transported by the respective carrier are mostly transported, the information means used by the company for fast and safe transportation to the consignee of this type of cargo.The article presents the results of the study on the transport of dangerous goods in the EU countries. The questionnaire analysis showshow respondents in the European Union countries evaluate the transport of dangerous goods, what dangerous goods are usually transported, what are the causes of accidents and what is being done to reduce the risks of transporting dangerous goods.After analysis of the results of the study it can be stated that the EU countries have a variety of security measures to reduce the risk of dangerous goods transport. Therefore, Lithuanian carriers can be offered various means of safe transportation of these goods.The article provides guidance measures to ensure the safe transport of that cargo.

The Green Corridor concept represents a cornerstone in the development and implementation of integrated and sustainable transport solutions based on trans-nationality, multi-modality and a high involvement of public and private stakeholders, including the political level. Despite the fact that the Green Transport Corridor (GTC) concept is founded on the three dimensions of sustainability with a strong emphasis on environmental aspects, the corridor hubs as well as the whole transport corridors have to find ways to handle and transport dangerous goods by keeping the high sustainability standards. The paper addresses the research questions what kind of economical, ecological and social risks might occur in the context of handling and transportation of dangerous goods in a Green Transport Corridor in the Baltic Sea Region, what consequences they might have on the GTC design and how and with which measures they can be managed. Based on this analysis the development of a comprehensive risk management concept for the handling and transportation of dangerous goods in Green Transport Corridors in the Baltic Sea Region based on Schröder and Prause (2015) will be started. The concept will include practical implications and best practices.

The article titled capabilities development in the field of security transportation and storage of dangerous goods encompassed the preparation of travel hazardous cargo and the development of appropriate legislation governing the transport of dangerous goods. It is a limited resource management effectiveness which focused on capacity development of personnel in terms of knowledge, skills, attributes and in practice, as the human resource is the most important asset in organization. The need to clarify and improve the legal and institutional structure of the system is essential, and it's a regulatory framework that is clearly separate from the original frame. In the resolution of overlap and confusion about education and preparedness in capabilities development in this article, it is another important dimension to the study of law in the development of secure transportation and storage of dangerous goods, including the development of the IT in order to emphasize on gaining a competitive advantage in raise the professional well-being as well as leading to the creation of a sustainable workforce in the future.

The shortcomings in the implementation of hazardous substances transport in the world and in our country lead to very serious hazards. These problems lead to life, property and very serious environmental disasters. This is not only a matter of transportation, but also of the chemistry, textile and fuel industries. This study provides information on the legislation on dangerous goods transport in Turkey. It also contains technical information on hazardous substances, following the search of the relevant literature for the province of hazardous goods.

Dangerous substances are substances whose the nature of composition or properties in the storage, transportation, loading, unloading, repackaging and similar manipulations can lead to phenomena that are harmful and dangerous for the environment and wildlife. The aim of this paper is to show the transport of dangerous substances in the Republic of Macedonia, the legislation for it and it's complementarily with the ADR convention. It also covers the customs services in Macedonia to combat the illicit conduct and carriage of dangerous substances for import, export and transport are also covered. Research is conveyed to determine the handling of dangerous substances in the process of their manipulation. The research snowed the transport of dangerous substances in the Republic of Macedonia is conducted within certain legal framework. The Government of Macedonia insists that the Law on transport of dangerous substances by road and rail traffic complements and fits in fully with European standards. It also showed lack of equipment and competent authorities for the timely detection of illegal import of hazardous substances and lack of institutional capacity. Improvement of legislation, and more sophisticated technical equipment, the establishment of a cooperative body for hazardous substances at the national level and specifically trained personnel and services for transportation and handling of dangerous substances is recommended. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Dangerous goods occupy an important proportion in international shipping, and government and enterprises pay a lot of attention to transport safety. There are a wide variety of dangerous goods, and the knowledge involved is extensive and complex. Organizing and managing this knowledge plays an important role in the safe transportation of dangerous goods. The knowledge graph is a mass of brand-new knowledge management technologies that provide powerful technical support for integrating domain knowledge and solving the problem of the &ldquo ; knowledge island.&rdquo ; This paper first introduces the knowledge of maritime dangerous goods (MDG) ; constructs a three-layer knowledge structure of MDG, dividing this knowledge into two categories ; uses ontology to express the concepts, entities, and relations of MDG ; and puts forward the representation methods of the conceptual layer and entity layer and designs them in detail. Finally, the knowledge graph of maritime dangerous goods (KGMDG) is constructed. Furthermore, we demonstrate the knowledge visualization, retrieval, and automatic judgment of segregation requirement based on KGMDG. It is proved that KGMDG does not only help to simplify the retrieval process of professional knowledge and to promote intelligent transportation but is also conducive to the sharing, dissemination, and utilization of MDG knowledge.

The individual's perception of transport cost usually does not include the full social cost of transport, as in for instance, its global environmental effects. Under this view, we observe a mismatch between individual perception and general social transport cost and welfare. In order to overcome this paradox, we need to induce a shift from the limited individualistic perspective to a more socio-economic view, whereby ethical judgments play a role in the economic decision-making process. Transport accessibility is here examined as a merit good and we therefore assume the necessity for government intervention in its provision. However, transport accessibility may be achieved through different levels of merit good values, as for instance, rail intervention versus road intervention. Some transport systems achieve greater fairness in accessibility, thus a higher merit good value; this implies that social planners need to discriminate various levels of subsidy and investment in relation to the fairness in transport accessibility.

The number of Telematic services targeted toward road freight transport, mostly for improving the efficiency of transport related activities have increased in recent years. Interconnected issues such as congestion, fuel consumption, travel time, reliability etc, are treated independently due to the sometimes competitive nature of objectives among service providers. As a result, the services are not developed to facilitate a common level of analysis and comparison. This makes it hard to establish a criterion for generating quantified values that can support analysis for decision makers (potential investors) in selecting the type of services to promote e.g. governmental organizations. This work addresses this issue by proposing an approach for describing services and a set of criteria to generate service societal values under a given set of assumptions. Each service is specified using a range of general to specific dimensions i.e. motivation, usage domain, users, functionalities, and value indicators. Based on the proposed set of criteria, 32 services are discussed, and their societal value quantified and compared for the Swedish heavy good vehicle market. Thus, the work provides an approach toward a common perspective for quantitative analysis of services to influence design and investment decisions. The methodology has been used to estimate the TTS societal values for the Swedish HGV market. The values obtained show a wide variation 14000€ to 25177000€ between various TTSs ; Extended and improved version is submitted for Journal Publication

This dissertation focuses on major legal issues of carriage of dangerous goods by sea. Due to the particular features and high risk of dangerous goods during the process of transportation, dangerous goods transportation by sea has always caught the public eye. Nowadays, due to technological development and increasing volume of dangerous goods trade, concerns relating to its legal issues have been seen as a critical matter in the ship-ping industry. This study discusses the present situation and the trend of maritime dangerous goods legislation first, and then, looks into the various definitions of dangerous goods in differ-ent conventions and regulations. The argument largely focuses on the critical issue that there are no unified definitions across various laws. Therefore, this research will exam-ine a definition of dangerous goods in order to analyze the major legal issues of carriage of dangerous goods by sea. In regards to legal issues of shipper and carrier, the thesis focuses on their qualification, rights, obligations and liabilities respectively. By comparing the differences among four regulations, namely, Hague Rules, Hamburg Rules, Rotterdam Rules and China Mari-time Code (and any applicable Chinese national laws), clarification of the foregoing top-ic is presented. The study concludes the need of amendment of China Maritime Code in terms of carriage of dangerous goods by sea.

The world trends in transport logistics, the dynamic technological development that has occupied today, as well as the integration of the economic space in the sense of creating transnational companies, have contributed to numerous and varied economic transformations and shifts in the international legal regime applicable to transport. The aforementioned trends in the transport sector have substantially contributed to increasing the flexibility, dynamics and speed in the realization of international deals, and thus the expansion of an international multimodal carrier as a separate type of transport. All of these tendencies in economic terms also reflected on international legal sources in the field of transport. However, to a large extent and essentially, these turmoil were reflected in the field of multimodal transport and in general multimodality as a concept. Multimodality as a system that involves the participation of at least two types of means of transport, single tariff means and single logistic operator, primarily through multimodal centers, provides more organized and cost-effective delivery of various types of goods. The carrier in multimodal transport appears as a specialist in the organization of delivery, loading, transhipment, storage, and distribution to end users and users. The carrier, in accordance with the applicable legislation in the Republic of Macedonia, the EU and in accordance with international sources of law in all traffic branches, should deal with the good businessman. Taking into account the numerous developments in this field, especially their influence in international legal sources, the aim of this paper is to analyze the concept of multimodal transport with a focus on the responsibility of the multimodal carriers and the applicability of legal solutions in the business environment. For the needs of labor, the subject of analysis will be the individual international sources in the separate transport branches. Key words: multimodal, transport, convention, damage, traffic branches.

Albanian Railways in the last two decades has experienced a fierce competition of the road transport, which has constantly taken parts in its transport market. Being a railway of a small country will modest freight and passenger traffic volumes, its survival depends on a political decision that has to be taken by albanian government. Tha paper deals with the possibility of the coming back to rail of chrome ore, gravel and fuel transport. These transports are permanent part of rail transport, but about a decade ago left the railway. The paper purpose is not to analyze removal causes of chrome ore, gravel and fuel transport by rail, but to explain the importance of time line concept to the return of these transports volume again in railway. Taking into account the social costs in the form of environmental pollution and roads blocking caused by road vehicles, in the material presented propozes the idea of a cost-benefit analysis. This analysis should be developed in order to justify a public decision to increase the rail volume by returning the goods mentioned above in the railways. The paper develops the idea that decision-making by private viewpoint of transport oprators, has not the necessary elements for solving the blocking roads and environmental pollution problem, so should not be taken into consideration for the development of transport policies in urban areas. For this purpose must be used a cost-benefit analysis to pave the way for an integrated transport or a decision making in favor of the public interest. DOI:10.5901/ajis.2013.v2n9p692

A letter report issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "When shipments of dangerous goods (hazardous chemical substances that could endanger public safety or the environment, such as flammable liquids or radioactive materials) are not properly packaged and labeled for air transport, they can pose significant threats because there is little room for error when something goes wrong in flight. To better understand the risks posed by improper ("undeclared") air shipments, we assessed what is known about their nature and frequency, what key mechanisms are in place to prevent their occurrence, and what the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Postal Service do to enforce federal regulations for shipping dangerous goods by air."
