Modern technology application for the road transport of dangerous goods

The article presents modern technology application for the road transport of dangerous goods. Dangerous goods mean materials and objects which, because of the risks they pose to people and the environment, can only be transported under certain conditions. The lack of monitoring this type of carriage is a serious real threat to humans and the environment. Due to the number and complexity of decision problems encountered during its implementation becomes necessary to provide effective Information Technology. The use of Intelligent Transport Systems solutions (called - ITS) is designed to help manage the transport system, particularly transport infrastructure. The main problem of paper was formulated as follows: How modern technology can resolve problems of road transport of dangerous goods, taking into account national and international legal regulations and existing threats? In the solving of mentioned problem, the following research methods were applied: analogy, definition, analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, modeling and diagnostic survey with expert research sample. The research included: Road Transport Inspection, State Fire Brigade, National Atomic Energy Agency, Transport Technical Supervision, Transport Companies, Department of Transport and Military Movement, Military University of Technology. The article presents the threats problems on dangerous goods in road transport and alarming statistics data of mentioned issues. The functional structure of the road transport safety management system for dangerous goods has been proposed, which can significantly contribute to limiting the number of threats and breakdowns, and in the case of their occurrence to better cooperation of emergency services in case of removing their effects
