Abstract

This paper aims to present and analyze the state of hazardous materials road transports in Greece in a business environment characterized by a severe economic crisis. By a structured questionnaire survey, descriptive statistics analysis and ANOVA analysis are employed. In addition, the paper focus on the correlations between the main features of transport operation such as cargoes, types of vehicles and drivers and the factors of transportation such as road safety, economic viability, environmental protection and drivers’ working conditions. The conclusions can be thought as a framework for policy proposals for the Greek ADR transport industry.JEL classification numbers: C83, L91, M50Keywords: ADR transport, road safety, working conditions, environmental protection, policy proposals
