The road transport of dangerous goods may have severe consequences in the event of an accident. The consequences of a road accident involving a heavy vehicle transporting dangerous goods can affect not only the truck driver but also the nearby population. Route selection is a complex issue, influenced by multiple parameters that may vary over the course of a day, a week, or a month. The ultimate objective is to enhance safety through the complete digitalization of the risk management process for the transport of d...

Industrial sites concentrate high-energy processes, hazardous substances, and complex building layouts that can amplify fire, explosion, and toxic-smoke events. Fire and rescue units (ISU) often arrive with incomplete or outdated information about the facility, which increases response time and exposes crews to avoidable hazards. This paper proposes a simple, patent-oriented framework for optimizing ISU interventions in industrial zones by combining four building blocks: operational response data, computational fl...

Starting in 1992, the Romanian mining industry underwent a restructuring process, which involved the closure of a significant number of mining perimeters. Without conducting a critical analysis of the causes that led to this extensive action and its resulting effects, it can be considered that some mining units, whose minimum geological reserves ensure exploitation for at least 10 years, could have real prospects for promoting solutions that guarantee economic efficiency, at least at the national level. In support...
