I spent most of the morning reading Kawprasert's dissertation. The following couple of paragraphs briefly summarize the content of two chapters of Kawpraser's document.
In chapter 8, the author discusses about the issues that need to be addressed when using route risk as a parameter to compare different routes. He also describes several potential techniques that can be useful in this regard. In addition, he introduces some statistical methods that can allow risk managers to quantitatively distinguish among risk alternatives when, for some reason, the risk analysis could not be completed for the entire route or network.
In chapter 9, kawprasert develops and shows several new techniques to present and communicate risk results more effectively. Based on the result from a quantitative risk analysis, he discusses how to illustrate the major factors affecting risk depending on the context and the questions of interest of the users
On the afternoon, Xiang asked me to help him with his current research. He needs me to gather and present some information he requires for his broken rail frequency analysis. I think this is a good opportunity to learn how to work with different railroad databases as well as to understand some factors that affect the behavior of this phenomenon. After Xiang described me precisely his concerns and interests on the topic, Chen-Yu explained me in detail how to work with the FRA database. His "tutorial" was very helpful. Tomorrow, I plan on working in this as well as continue with the literature review.
Today:
-Finish reading Athaphon kawprasert's dissertation (done)
-Literature review on Railroad Hazmat Transportation (to be finished)
*-Gather and edit information Xiang requires for his research. (to be finished)
Next day:
-Literature review on Railroad Hazmat Transportation
-Gather and edit information Xiang requires for his research
