Quantified Societal Risk and Policy Making is the result of an international workshop on societal risk organized by the Dutch Ministry for Transport, Public Works and Water Management with additional financial support from the Directorate for Transportation (DG VII) of the European Union.Managing risks, whether there is a strong manmade or natural component, basically means assessing alternative options under uncertainty. The possibility of multiple fatalities is one of the factors that can vary between options.This volume is concerned with one particular type of risk the risk of death of a number of people in one accident and with one particular tool probabilistic risk analysis as they are developing in various domains of society nowadays.
