Integration of IT systems to support the tracking of dangerous goods transport routes

Abstract

The biggest challenge we face is the transport of dangerous goods. About 40,000 vehicles carrying dangerous goods travel on our roads every year. More than 70 percent of these fuels are gasoline, diesel oil and LPG, the rest are chemical compounds used in industry and economy. The number of accidents that occur is negligible, but the scale is incomparably greater than the case of a collision of a passenger vehicle with fuel leakage. The concentration of chemicals is much more difficult to remove and poses a huge risk to people and the environment. These types of transports should be tracked and supervised just as aircraft transporting people and goods are tracked.
