Abstract

Improving road traffic safety on the one hand and increasing the transport of dangerous goods on the other requires searching for methods and tools for risk assessment at various levels of transport of this type of cargo. This is directly related to the disruption of the safety and efficiency of road transport systems around transporting dangerous goods. In this respect, risk assessment and its estimation method are a significant issue. The article analyzes the risk resulting from the transport of dangerous goods. Threats occurring during the organization and execution of the transport of dangerous goods were identified and risk assessment studies were carried out using the FTA method (fault tree method). The purpose of using the FTA method was to develop and graphically illustrate a set of factors that cause adverse events in the transport of dangerous goods. TopEvent FTA computer software was used to verify the proposed approach, which is used both to construct error trees and to identify and correct irregularities in existing trees.
