There is necessity for Risk based evaluation of routing for Decision making authorities for regulating hazardous materials transportation vehicles through road. (Sivaprakash, Joseph et al. 2015)Adequate research has been done on Routing of Hazmat Trucks, Emergency response models and network design problems for hazardous material transportation have been studied by many researchers. As no adequate data available for India, the importance of safety in Hazmat transportation was explained by considering data of last 10 years that is (2007 to 2017) taken from United States Hazmat Transportation.
