The transportation of dangerous goods by road is the most accident-prone mode of transportation, even if accidents involving road transportation of dangerous goods are considered as a Low Probability and High Consequence event (LPHC event). However, several dangerous goods are transported by road networks, such as petroleum products and chemicals, which can generate major dangerous consequences such as spills, explosions, fires, or toxic clouds. In this context, this article presents a method to calculate and quickly quantify the sizes of impact zones characterized by high lethality and irreversible injuries to people in the case of a hazardous materials transport accident. This method is used as a module for the analysis of the consequences of different potential accident scenarios, for the Web-GIS platform proposed by LOSE+LAB, that implements appropriate ICT tools and systems for monitoring the flow of goods that would enable a continuous monitoring system at the cross-border level and transmit data and information to the territory actors involved in the management of dangerous goods according to the ADR standard. The proposed method provides the user with a visualization of the possible outcomes of an event by reproducing the impact area for different accident scenarios, which can provide quick maps of the hazard and represents a decision support system for territorial governance in terms of intervention and response protocols for emergency management in the cases of dangerous goods accidents.
道路运输危险货物是最容易发生事故的运输方式，即便涉及危险货物道路运输的事故被视为低概率高后果事件（LPHC事件）。然而，诸如石油产品和化学品等多种危险货物通过公路网络运输，这可能会引发泄漏、爆炸、火灾或有毒云团等重大危险后果。在此背景下，本文提出一种方法，用于计算并快速量化在危险货物运输事故中以对人员的高致死率和不可逆转伤害为特征的影响区域的大小。该方法用作分析不同潜在事故场景后果的模块，用于LOSE+LAB提出的Web-GIS平台，该平台实施了适当的信通技术工具和系统来监测货物流动，从而实现跨境层面的连续监测系统，并根据ADR标准将数据和信息传输给参与危险货物管理的地区行为体。所提出的方法通过再现不同事故场景的影响区域，为用户提供事件可能结果的可视化，这可以提供危险的快速地图，并代表了在危险货物事故情况下应急管理的干预和响应协议方面的领土治理决策支持系统。
