In the 1990s, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OCDE) and the World Road Association (PIARC) jointly developed a methodology to assess the risks associated with the transport of dangerous goods through road tunnels and open air sections. One of the outputs of this research project was the development of the Dangerous Goods Quantitative Risk Assessment Model (DG-QRAM) which was delivered with the oversight and coordination of the PIARC road tunnels committee.
