I started the morning attending (via conference call) the Safety group meeting. Although I had seen Jeff's presentation before, I thought the discussion that his risk model generated was very interesting.
I worked on the crude oil FRA-PHMSA database for most of the day. I managed to find the FRA reports for each of the crude oil release accidents (7 accidents -crash or derailment- from 2003-2013) recorded in PHMSA database. Since there are only 7 events I dont think behaviour trends can be extrapolated from this database. However, as there is currently a boom in the transportation of crude oil by rail, I think this database will be very helpfull in the future. It can be the starting point to keep track of all the crude oil-related incidents. Once that I finished this, I worked on ArcMap for the rest of the night. Tomorrow I plan on finishing both the work with ArcMap and presentation 4.
Today:
-Work on presentation 4: "Case study introduction, justification" (to be finished)
-Work with ArcMap to obtain the necessary maps for the presentation (to be finished)
-Work on the Crude Oil FRA-PHMSA database (done)
-Attend the Safety group meeting (Jeff's presentation) (done)
Next day:
-Work on presentation 4: "Case study introduction, justification"
-Work with ArcMap to obtain the necessary maps for the presentation
-Work on the Canadian accident module
