Description
Book SynopsisHighlighting the importance of transportation to a country's infrastructure and survival,
Transportation Systems Security presents the strategic and practical considerations involved in the implementation of physical, procedural, and managerial safeguards required to keep all modes of transportation up and running during an actual or potential disaster.
Structured in an easy cognitive fashion, the book begins with a basic introduction providing terms and definitions. It describes both physical and information system layouts and defines who controls what parts of the process, how far control is extended, and who oversees controls within the system.
Building on this foundation, subsequent chapters discuss problems such as the need for a more defined domain-based approach when threats, assets, vulnerabilities, and safeguards are not under local control. The book describes and refines the concepts of
criticality, impact, and
consequence as they relate to the
