Abstract:

With the rapid industrialization in the last century there has been a steep rise in the generation of
hazardous material. it is immense important to transport the generated hazardous waste /
hazardous goods to its destination of disposal. when we talk about the transport of hazardous
material it comes with several restrictions, limitations, opportunities, threats and government
regulations also economic impact should not be left out.

In this project we would present some glimpse of processes which generates hazardous material
and process which require hazardous material as input for those process. In addition we would
emphasize on the mode of transporting the hazardous waste / goods and eventually we would
present a specific transport model along with theoretical and mathematical explanation.

In the end project would consist of recommendations to optimize the deficiencies found in the
chosen transport model.
