Safety Management on Hazardous Material Transportation

The safety management of hazardous material transportation is important for the people's life, the environment and the economy. Currently, trajectory monitoring systems are set up to manage the hazard material transportation in China. However, the coordination among different departments of government on accident prevention, handling and investigation is still in low efficiency due to lack of means. This paper proposes a centralized monitoring and safety management system for all the users, including the transportation enterprise and every related government departments and service organizations. Based on the Internet-of-Things technologies, this system uses various methods to monitor the status of the person, the vehicle, the goods and the roads, so as to detect every sign before an accident try to avoid it. To elevate the efficiency of accident handling, this system coordinates every relevant department of the government to be alerted at the first time and react immediately according to the prepared emergency plan with full information of the site. This system also collects sufficient information for accident investigation. This system can improve the efficiency on accident prevention, handling and investigation.
