Uncertainty in the Estimation of Risks for the Transport of Hazardous Materials

A number of significant advances have taken place in recent years concerning the analysis of risks for the transport of hazardous materials. These advances have been fostered by a better understanding of the risk-analysis process and improved data bases. Nevertheless, much of this work remains plagued by numerous inconsistencies and contradictions, and this in turn has generated a lack of public confidence in the process and its results.
