Written in a clear language, for use by managers and decision-makers, this practical guide to the hot topic is unique in treating the security aspects of hazmat transportation from both a uni-modal as well as a multi-modal perspective. To begin with, each transport mode and its relation to security vulnerability, analyses, figures, and approaches is discussed separately. Secondly, the optimization process of a hazmat supply chain is examined from a holistic, integrated viewpoint. Finally, the book discusses and compares the various hazmat transport security policies and strategies adopted in various regions around the world. The result is a must-have source of high-quality information including many case studies.
