TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS AND RISK MANAGEMENT 98Development <strong>of</strong> the information system for early notification <strong>of</strong> accidents on riversSledat system consists <strong>of</strong> the hardware <strong>and</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware parts:An important task in this project 1 was to carry out the following activities in the domain:adaption <strong>of</strong> the hardware part <strong>of</strong> the system to Sledat requirements for the transfer <strong>of</strong> data about earlydetection <strong>of</strong> river water pollution,creation <strong>of</strong> the organizational scheme <strong>of</strong> information <strong>and</strong> notification in the event <strong>of</strong> a chemical accident, bymeans <strong>of</strong> Sledat system, both horizontally <strong>and</strong> vertically on national, regional <strong>and</strong> local level);development <strong>of</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware applications for presenting appropriate measured parameters,designing s<strong>of</strong>tware for horizontal <strong>and</strong> vertical notification <strong>of</strong> interested institutions as well as alarm in case<strong>of</strong> an accident, accompanied by adequate documents in electronic form;making an electronic archive for storage <strong>of</strong> data referring to the situation before the chemical accident, allthe activities during the chemical accident as well as diminishing consequences <strong>of</strong> the chemical accident;development <strong>of</strong> documents in electronic form referring to the notification <strong>of</strong> the chemical accident <strong>and</strong> theprocedures used by certain intervention <strong>and</strong> rescue units within the proactive response to the accident;upgrading s<strong>of</strong>tware for monitoring <strong>and</strong> prediction <strong>of</strong> the possible spreading <strong>of</strong> the accident to neighbouringareas, based on the meteorological data;development <strong>of</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware application for locating accident sites <strong>and</strong> monitoring the distribution <strong>of</strong> human<strong>and</strong> material resources used for diminishing <strong>and</strong> elimination <strong>of</strong> the consequences <strong>of</strong> the accident;examining possibilities <strong>of</strong> the application <strong>of</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware web service package SleDat for monitoring vesselscarrying <strong>dangerous</strong> substances.The fact that Sledat is a reliable system for remote data transfer has helped to carry out the above mentioned tasks.The basic idea was that the hardware part <strong>of</strong> the system should be universal, so that, with slight modifications, itcould be used not only on vessels for different purposes (e.g. ships carrying <strong>dangerous</strong> chemical cargo, tankerscarrying liquid fuel, rescue ships, ships <strong>transport</strong>ing chemical waste to collection <strong>and</strong> recycling sites, police <strong>and</strong>military river patrol boats, etc.), but also on vehicles in road <strong>and</strong> railway <strong>transport</strong> involved in the process <strong>of</strong>prevention <strong>and</strong> diminishing <strong>of</strong> consequences <strong>of</strong> the accidents as well as the <strong>transport</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>dangerous</strong> chemicalsubstances.Hardware part <strong>of</strong> Sledat systemThe hardware part <strong>of</strong> Sledat system consists <strong>of</strong> measuring probes, central data collection <strong>and</strong> transfer unit, GPSsystem for locating the position <strong>of</strong> the object <strong>and</strong> meteorological data collection, GPRS system for data transfer tothe server, server for collecting, processing <strong>and</strong> distribution <strong>of</strong> data via the Internet network as well as theworkplaces in charge <strong>of</strong> monitoring, reporting <strong>and</strong> managing in case <strong>of</strong> a chemical accident.
