Hazardous materials (Hazmat), which can cause damage to the living creatures and the environment
due to their chemical or physical characteristics, have been used in many sectors in recent years so
the importance of transportation of hazardous materials is on the rise. Despite the fact that railway
transportation is superior in terms of risk and cost, the highway is widely used for transportation of
hazardous materials. In this study, which focuses on the transportation of fuel constitutes a
significant part of the transportation of hazardous materials, we propose a bi-objective
transportation model for routing rail-truck intermodal shipments. The model aims at minimizing the
total transportation cost and total transportation risk between supply and demand points.
