Development and application of risk management models on corridors VII and X from the aspect of improvement of the transportation system of Serbia

Economic and social progress of mankind is followed by efficient transport, with demands for increased safety, a cleaner environment and greater care for people’s health. The proposed project aims to assist in the decision-making process for finding the optimal balance between the positive and negative impacts that transport has on the economic, ecological and social dimensions of society. The main goal is the development and application of risk management models in the transportation system that will integrate risk management strategy principles with solving the problem of efficiency and improvement of the transportation system. The main subject of research is the risks of the transportation system, with a special emphasis on the analysis of safety of the transport processes, as well as their impact on the environment. From the spatial aspect, research includes EU corridors VII and X. The main result of the research is the development of a new risk management model in transportation, based on the theoretical principles of risk management and good practice in developed countries, which will also take into consideration the specificities of the social system of the Republic of Serbia. Special attention will be focused on: the transfer of knowledge; the formation of an risk database; the development of analytical models for the identification and evaluation of risk; the development of the databases software applications, risk analysis and decision support in risk management.
