A critical review N2 - The transportation of liquids involves several situations derived from the curved shape of the cargo containers, including a comparatively high center of gravity, which negatively shifts when the container is partially loaded, and the vehicle is subjected to steering or braking accelerations. Aiming at reducing these effects several experimental approaches have been applied, involving different tank shapes and the use of baffles, tested under laboratory or field conditions, at full scale or at a down-scale. However, the scope of such approaches has been limited, mainly because the potential effect of other components of the vehicle on the road tanker behavior, has been neglected. In this paper, a critical review is presented of the experimental approaches considered so far, identifying specific experimental needs to improve the performance of the vehicles, from both the road safety and the environmental perspective.

T1 - Quasistatic rollover threshold of atmospheric road tankers N2 - On the other hand, it was found that the quasistatic rollover threshold of a circular tank, does not depend on the fill level, namely, it is only determined by the position of the support and the diameter of the tank T2 - CONIIN 2020 CY - Online meeting DA - 28.09.2020 KW - Quasistatic KW - Atmospheric KW - Road KW - Tankers PY - 2020 AN - OPUS4-51385 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - CONF A1 - Romero-Navarrete, José A.

T1 - Comparative simulations of rail and road infrastructure with the transportation of liquid cargoes N2 - Transportation of liquids implies lower stability Limits for the Transportation vehicles, and a potentially higher damaging effect on the infrastructure. In this paper, these two effects are comparatively simulated for two modes of Transportation.

T1 - Comparative simulations of rail and road infrastructure with the transportation of liquid cargoes N2 - A simulation approach has been presented to analyze the lateral stability and infrastructure damage potentials of rail and road transportation of liquid cargoes. The normalized and comparative performance of both modes of transport, reveals that the railway transportation is, comparatively, more aggressive with the infrastructure, and less safe.
