Assessment on the Consequences of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Release Accident in the Road Transportation via GIS Approaches

Transporting of hazardous substance inviting a catastrophic potential, depending on the amount of transported product, its hazardous characteristics and the features of the surrounding environment. In view of the above Factors, an efficient intervention is essential to minimize the impacts from tran...
