The design and production of vehicles transporting dangerous goods comprises of three stages: design, manufacturing, inspection and testing. The design follows specific rules, Norms and Regulations according to the European Agreement concerning the international carriage of dangerous goods by road (ADR). Manufacturing depends on the experience of the manufacturer and the design rules followed. Certified inspection bodies carry out the inspection procedures and tests for the design approval and the homologation of each separate road tanker produced. Inspection and testing are specified in the ADR Regulation in force during the design period, along with a set of requirements concerning the strength of the tank shell, equipment, vehicle components, measures for fire protection during the tank operation, load distribution, and roll-over protection. A systematic approach for the inspection and testing procedure concerning the application of the requirements for the construction, equipment and type approval of tank vehicles, and vehicles for the transportation of dangerous goods was developed and evaluated since 2001 by the authors in collaboration with the Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics Department of the University of Patras. Important issues from this experience concerning a rigorous procedure for the design verification and testing of vehicles transporting dangerous goods, along with evaluation of damping properties for structural health monitoring is reported here.
