Prospects for the Use "Green" Logistics as a Safety Factor in Multimodal Transportation of Dangerous Goods

Abstract

The improvement of the technology for performing international and domestic transportation of dangerous goods through the use of container and piggyback trains is considered. It has been established, that these technologies have significant advantages in terms of reducing the negative impact on the environment in comparison with the delivery of dangerous goods only by certain modes of transport. A brief feature of the main environmental characteristics of the routes of multimodal trains is given and assessed the negative impact of each type of transport separately and as part of a multimodal system on the environment. The ways of further development of "green" logistics as a safety factor in the transportation of dangerous goods in containers and contrailers are proposed.
