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. date: 2011 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-80755141281&partnerID=40&md5=269eb8a296fef41be2fba68b460922a2 full_text_status: none publication: Proceedings of the World Congress on Engineering 2011, WCE 2011 volume: 2 place_of_pub: London pagerange: 1270-1275 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9789881925145 citation: Rashid, Z.A. and El-Harbawi, M. and Hamid, K.H.K. and Sherif, A.A. and Shariff, A.R.
