Abstract [en]

The road network of Sweden is steadily expanding. In particular, large tunnels and roads for big traffic volumes are being constructed. An incident involving dangerous goods in a tunnel or on the open road can cause damage to the infrastructure, and lead to serious consequences for ordinary people or rescue personnel. Bridges are also vulnerable constructions, and in the case that a vehicle turns on fire, serious traffic disruptions as well as structural damage to the bridge may be the result. Statistics from the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency shows that 296 dangerous goods accidents occurred in Sweden between the years 2006 and 2012. 87 % of which occurred on the road network. Presently, there is no technical standard for positioning a vehicle in a tunnel system, which may lead to difficult circumstances in conjunction with live rescue operations. An accident involving dangerous goods may also lead to similar problems and may also cause the spreading of dangerous substances in the close environment, with negative consequences for both humans and the surroundings. These challenges were the foundation for the present project: “Handling of dangerous goods, Incident verification and positioning”. This project was initiated with the aim of mapping possibilities and limitations with prospective ICT/ITS-solutions with the purpose of developing better tools for dealing with incidents and dangerous goods primarily in tunnels, or on the open road and in live rescue operations. The goal was also to act supportively towards a greater spreading of knowledge, examine the basis for a common set of requirements and investigate ongoing activities in the Swedish Transport Administration, and outside the organization – within the subject matter. The project has conducted three workshops which have acted as communicators of knowledge. A final report has been produced. This project is financed from the Swedish Transport Administration research portfolio number 3: “Efficient Transport Chains for the Industry”, an initiative from the Investment department within the administration. The project has also conducted a state-of-the-art study with focus on technology, legislation and the European perspective within the three areas: Handling of dangerous goods, Incident verification and positioning. An outlook on conducted studies in Sweden and primarily Europe has been accomplished. The output of the project can be summarized in three parts: I. Affected organizations and overlying goals II. Requirements, needs and preconditions III. External monitoring and technology
