ABSTRACT

This paper is based on a preliminary study of the Norwegian land based transport of dangerous goods. Norway is a country with long distances between the cities, a long coastline with many fjords and lots of mountains. These facts imply that the goods has to be transported inter modally, for example by trucks loaded on ro-ro ships over fjords, and further on roads requiring enhanced driving skills with respect to narrow roads, long tunnels and “aggressive” road-users.
