Secure and Efficient Intermodal Dangerous Goods Transport
Abstract
Rules and regulations concerning dangerous goods exist for individual transport modes but
not for intermodal transports. What does this mean for intermodal transports of dangerous
goods, and what problems exist at the intermodal transport interfaces? The purpose is to
answer the above mentioned questions and to improve the efficiency and security of
intermodal dangerous goods transports. The outcome will be to present a desired intermodal
transport flow of dangerous goods. A theoretical study based on regulations and business
process improvement methodologies together with a number of interviews have made
important information available for an analysis and conclusion. Suggestions for improving
some of the problems that exist today are provided and an analysis of the current situation and
a desired situation is presented and evaluated. The thesis task is required by Volvo
Technology Corporate and it will contribute to the Secure Transport Scenario which will be
presented as a part of a Demo Theatre project at the ITS World Congress in Stockholm 2009.
