This paper aims to describe how the modified TRA methodology is used for predicting the accident scenarios and their impact to humans and environment. The analytical technique was applied to a case study of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) by road tankers. The transportation of LPG via five existing routes was studied in detail, and the corresponding societal risk were evaluated and compared.}, keywords = {Accident scenarios; Analytical techniques; Malaysia; Methodology; Quantitative risk analysis; Risk levels; Road tankers; Road transportation; Societal risks; Transportation risk analysis, Accidents; Liquefied petroleum gas; Materials handling; Motor transportation; Risk analysis; Risk perception; Roads and streets; Tankers (ships); Transportation routes, Risk assessment}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-80755141281&partnerID=40&md5=269eb8a296fef41be2fba68b460922a2}, isbn = {9789881925145}, author = {Rashid, Z.
