Transport equipment

The transport equipment node in RISKCURVES represents multiple points along a route on a map, where a loss of containment scenario is modelled and risk analysis is conducted.

Defining transport equipment

• Select the ‘‘Transport Equipment’’ branch in the project tree.

• Right-click and choose <Add Equipment> from the context menu.

• Rename the new equipment node by pressing F2 or double-clicking the name string and providing a descriptive name.

Defining the route

• Switch to the map view and zoom in on the area where the route will be defined.

• Press the <Edit> button in the transport equipment input panel.

• Start pinpointing route points on the map.

• As you select route points, the coordinates will be automatically added to the table.

• Once all route points are selected, press <Done> to finish the route definition.

• You can manually modify the coordinates if needed.

• Use the Correction Factor column to account for switches on railroad tracks or to apply a locally altered failure frequency.

Tips

Copy and paste: Select the equipment node and use Edit > Copy (or <Ctrl>-C) and Edit > Paste (or <Ctrl>-V) to duplicate the equipment.

Delete by selecting the equipment node and pressing the <Del> button to delete the selected equipment.

By following these steps, you can efficiently add, define, and manage transport equipment in RISKCURVES. This ensures that your transport routes are well-organized and accurately represented for effective risk analysis.
