ABSTRACT

According to the recent chemical accident statistics, there were 72 cases of chemical accidents of transporting vehicles handling hazardous chemicals. 22 cases of them were massive spills due to a rollover. If large spills from the vehicles occur, accident response can be delayed and the damage can be much more serious than that of on-site accidents. So, it is necessary to take precautionary measures to reduce the damage. The Chemical Substances Control Act in 2015 requires all transporting vehicles to install partitions inside to prevent a massive spill of hazardous chemicals. It needs, however, many inlets to fill the compartments and the cap, which could increase the chance of crash inlets into the ground during rollover accidents. This study is dedicated to minimizing a risk of massive spills of the vehicles through devising an advanced system with the common inlet.
