Transportation providers and federal/state regulators have a significant challenge in balancing their safety and security risks while still considering the economic impacts of risk mitigation strategies. For over 20 years, Visual Risk Technologies, Inc. has helped identify and assess mitigation alternatives appropriate for the materials being shipped. We develop sound methodological approaches to modeling various safety and security environments and conditions in a consistent framework that allows them to be compared and combined.
