摘要: Identifying hazardous material (HAZMAT) transportation gained momentum in the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, in 2004 there were 11 million trucks making shipments into America from Canada and Mexico and trade with the two countries accounts for 31.1% of the total U.S. trade. The scope of this project focuses on hazardous material transportation and security. Therefore, the work conducted by the University of Arkansas team is on private practices of transporting hazardous materials. Businesses have a different focus on HAZMAT transport versus government entities; they are concerned with the minimization of risk and cost. The need to monitor the transport of hazardous goods to minimize them as potential targets for terrorists is highlighted by the 10 year (1999 to 2008) Hazardous Materials Incident Report of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation. U.S. Department of Transportation defines hazardous materials as belonging to one of nine hazard classes: Class 1, Explosives; Class 2, Gases; Class 3, Flammable liquids; Class 4, Flammable solids; Class 5, Oxidizers and Organic Peroxides; Class 6, Toxic Materials and Infectious Substances; Class 7, Radioactive Materials; Class 8, Corrosive Materials; and Class 9, Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods.
