This study aimed to assess the environmental and social vulnerability and identify critical highway stretches for accidents involving transportation of hazardous products on the BR-101 highway between the cities of Osório and Torres in Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. The study's approach consisted of a multiple-criteria analysis combining highway safety analysis and environmental and social vulnerability analysis in the occurrence of accidents with hazardous products, plus cartographic analysis techniques. Thirty-eight kilometers of the highway showed high vulnerability, of which 8 kilometers with critical vulnerability, associated with bridges over rivers, water uptake points, a tunnel, environmental preservation areas, and an urban area. These stretches should be prioritized when developing action plans for accident mitigation and development of public policies for this highway. This proved to be an unprecedented approach when compared to existing studies and a potentially useful tool for decision-making in emergency operations.
本研究旨在评估环境和社会脆弱性，并确定巴西南里奥格兰德州奥索里奥市和托雷斯市之间BR-101高速公路上涉及危险产品运输事故的关键路段。该研究方法包括多标准分析，将高速公路安全分析与危险产品事故中的环境和社会脆弱性分析相结合，再加上制图分析技术。该高速公路38公里路段显示出高脆弱性，其中8公里具有关键脆弱性，与跨河桥梁、取水点、一条隧道、环境保护区和一个市区相关。在制定该高速公路事故缓解行动计划和公共政策时，应优先考虑这些路段。与现有研究相比，这被证明是一种前所未有的方法，也是应急行动决策中潜在有用的工具。
