TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS AND RISK MANAGEMENT 84UDK:502.51(282):502.17(497.11)502.51(282):504.5(497.11)THE MODEL AND SLEDAT INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR EARLY DETECTION OF CHEMICALACCIDENTS ON WATERWAYS1 Marija Vukic, 2 Vojislav Rapajic, 2 Radovan Stetin, 1 Miroljub Jevtic, 3 Uros Spruk1 Snezana Mrmak1 “ <strong>Kirilo</strong> Savic” Institute, 51 Vojvode Stepe St., 11000 Belgrade, Serbia2Aluxom Ltd., 78 Vojvode Baćevića St., 11000 Belgrade, Serbia3 USCOM, Ljubljana, SloveniaAbstract: A model <strong>and</strong> a system for early detection <strong>and</strong> prompt notification on the chemical accident on the riverhave been developed as a part <strong>of</strong> technological development project TR – 21037. The basic element <strong>of</strong> the system isthe probe that monitors the changes in concentration <strong>of</strong> relevant pollutants <strong>and</strong> oxidation-reduction potential innatural aquatic environment, placed in special protective carrier constructed for the purposes <strong>of</strong> research <strong>and</strong>mounting on the raft at the Sava. Other elements <strong>of</strong> the system, hardware <strong>and</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware solutions for monitoring,registering <strong>and</strong> filing the measurement results (yielded by means <strong>of</strong> the probe), have been developed during the 6month experiment.The test results have shown that the specially constructed probe, acting as a sensor for detection <strong>of</strong> pollutants,together with other information-communication system elements functions undisturbed <strong>and</strong> gives prompt responseto changes <strong>of</strong> oxidation-reduction potential in water due to accidental spillage <strong>of</strong> <strong>dangerous</strong> substances.The paper shows characteristics <strong>of</strong> the multi-function measuring device <strong>and</strong> other elements <strong>of</strong> the system, hardware<strong>and</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware <strong>and</strong> the model <strong>of</strong> information <strong>and</strong> communication with relevant users <strong>of</strong> monitoring results at a local,regional <strong>and</strong> national level.This provides the basis for reaching an integrated solution for merging/ exchange <strong>of</strong> data from the bases <strong>of</strong> varioussubjects <strong>of</strong> the system <strong>and</strong> creating adequate information environment that gives sufficient data to the dispatchers<strong>and</strong> enables them to promptly make the right decision.Key words: river, chemical accident, monitoring, sensor, hardware, s<strong>of</strong>tware, early notification <strong>of</strong> the accident,model, information system.INTRODUCTIONThe Protocol for Prevention <strong>of</strong> Pollution <strong>of</strong> the Sava River obligates all the signing countries, including Serbia, tocreate conditions for the formation <strong>of</strong> appropriate organs <strong>and</strong> services responsible for carrying out obligations in thefield <strong>of</strong> prevention, control <strong>and</strong> reduction <strong>of</strong> pollution caused by cargo ships, as well as control <strong>of</strong> water quality,vessel inspection <strong>and</strong> taking administrative measures to sanction the violation <strong>of</strong> the established waste treatmentrules.Creation <strong>of</strong> Joint Action Programme for all countries on the Sava bottoml<strong>and</strong> as well as the establishment <strong>of</strong> acommon information system based on the Protocol is also dem<strong>and</strong>ed.
