Addresses problems and offers solutions in securing transportation systems, improves efficiency and provides market orientation that yield technological and managerial innovations Transportation systems are essential for economic vitality, growth, and well-being of any region. These systems are vulnerable to both terrorist attacks and natural disasters that could lead to immediate and long-term catastrophic consequences. Securing Transportation Systems focuses on what the weaknesses are and how to protect airports, water ports, highways, tunnels, bridges, rail and mass transit. A major effort is made to explain why government should not carry the major responsibility of securing transportation systems, how to shed non-public responsibilities and contract out others. The invited chapters are categorized into three sections. The first section explains religious motivation for terrorist attacks against mass transit, describing radiological, cyber, and nuclear threats and presents prevention challenges. The second section describes and evaluates the security of the various modes of transportation. The final section deals with evacuation problems and solutions when disasters occur. Planning for prevention, response, and recovery of transportation infrastructures are a major consideration of policy makers and professionals in homeland security. Securing Transportation Systems is a valuable resource for them.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
