>ANNOUNCEMENT
>Calling for the Submission of Papers on Risk Management in Transport
>
>Transportation has undergone extensive development with high demand in
public, private and commercial sectors.  However, environmental
deterioration and traffic accidents including those resulting from
disasters, frequently have a tremendous impact on our lives. Since it is
impossible to avoid all negative effects of transport, effective risk
management of transport has become essential.  The key elements of risk
management are the prevention of accidents and the reduction of loss caused
by accidents.  
>
>In this special issue, we intend to discuss new paradigms and perspectives
in risk management in transport, comprising risk identification, risk
assessment, risk prevention and risk control in all transportation modes.
We invite contributions to IATSS Research Vol.24, No.2 (Fall 2000) on the
various topics related to Risk Management in Transport.
