Abstract: In order to make the hazardous material transportation problem closer to the reality, the relevant theories and research methods are discussed in this paper. From the perspective of transportation method, this article summarizes the significance of hazardous material transportation in single-type transportation, multi-modal transportation and location-path optimization and other aspects of the results and research progress, analyzes the differences between China and other countries in key factors selection and modeling and design algorithms. At the same time, the paper presents the deficiency of existing literature and propose the next research direction. The next step can be studied from the perspective of time-varying network and bounded rationality. The results show that single-model transportation research is developed from single objective to multi-objective optimization problem, and multi-modal transport research from multi-modal transport to multi-modal location-routing transport problem, and that the research methods also vary from using exact algorithm to heuristics or evolution algorithm. The nest step can be studied from the perspective of time-varying network and bounded rationality.

Key words: hazardous materials transportation, multi-objective programming, multi-modal transportation, location-routing model, routing optimization
