Year: 2019

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The study was designed to develop methodology for assessing the risk of an act unlawful interference on transport systems. This methodology be of particular significance for transportation systems, like metros and railroads. For instance, where there is information that in the coming days an act of unlawful interference may occur along a metro line, employing this methodology can enable the experts to promptly determine the stations which are the likeliest to be attacked. The need to develop said methodology has been substantiated by statistics whereby of all acts unlawful interference committed around the world in the period 1970–2019 over 8,000 were aimed at the various facilities of the transportation system, including airports and aircraft and metro and railway stations and trains. The methodology for assessing the risk of an act unlawful interference on transport systems could be employed in training police and secret service officers whose duties include the anti-terrorist protection of the transportation sector.
