Analysis of petrol station vulnerability factors regarding accidents using analytic hierarchy process and ranking

Abstract

The article considers the problem of determining the criteria of petrol stations vulnerability in terms of the consequences of a possible accident under 3 proposed scenarios. The criteria, which include lost lives, economic, social and environmental consequences of a possible accident, are determined using a system analysis. The analytic hierarchy process and a survey of experts using a web form (ranking) are performed to determine the weight of the criteria for the petrol stations vulnerability and to reduce their amount in a reasonable basis.
