Abstract

Risk Management in Road Transportation System
Track: Transportation
Author(s): Johan Schardin

With increasing climate effect and an increasing use of road transports it is important to be aware of the risks associated with the road transport system and the consequences of incidents. Vulnerable road segments get identified by utilizing different GIS based models. The modelling results are providing valuable input to field studies which results in a risk classification on a very detailed level. The tools for performing the modelling, field study, storing the result and present it on a map are all Esri-based (ArcMap, ArcGIS Engine, ArcSDE, and ArcIMS). This paper illustrates step by step the path from modelling to a final presentation and explains the thoughts behind risk management and the techniques being used.
