Abstract
This paper analyzes urban hazmats transportation within very congested and populated urban zones in Mexico. Three case studies are presented: chlorine line-haul transportation within the metropolitan zone of Mexico City (MZMC), gasoline physical distribution within a subzone of the MZMC, and a real accident happened during a modal change of trichloro-s-triazinetrione at the Port of Veracruz City.
