Assessment of the readiness of the selected object of transport infrastructure for violent attacks

Abstract

The article is focused on the assessment of the readiness of a selected transport infrastructure object for a violent attack. The protection of soft targets is an area that has been addressed as a priority in security for several years. Transport infrastructure is one of the most endangered destinations due to its attractiveness, a large number of passengers, openness and often also due to its international character. The article aims to show the assessment of the readiness of the security system, both from a technical and human point of view, on one selected object. Based on the risk analysis, the threat of the given object, vulnerabilities and weak points will be evaluated. Subsequently, we will focus on improving the system with an emphasis on the human factor, which is often neglected. © 2022 Kaunas University of Technology. All rights reserved.
