Abstract
The transportation of goods and supplies is an essential part of maintaining a functioning urban infrastructure. It also involves the transport of dangerous goods. This type of transportation may especially in the urban areas signify a high risk that may significantly damage the critical infrastructure of the city, if there is an accident and leakage of dangerous chemical substances. The aim is therefore, to minimize the risk and its consequences. The effective instruments are through the identification, analysis and assessment of these risks, searching for critical areas in cities and ensuring the application of prevention and safety measures. This paper aims to introduce the issue of the risks associated with the transportation of hazardous substances in the cities and to propose measures that are in accordance with the concept of Smart Cities, in order to contribute to create of functional communication network, traffic flow in cities and increasing the security of critical infrastructure.
