  1. Security aspects in the construction and maintenance of infrastructures of the inland transport sectorRichard HarrisDirector Intelligent Transport Systems Faber Maunsell - AECOM

  2. Security Principles • Deterrence – Keep the bad guys out; make it easier for them to go elsewhere • Detection – If they do get in, make sure you know about it • Assessment – Once something happens, know what is unfolding • Response – Be able respond appropriately and manage the result

  3. Major events • March 1995 Tokyo subway sarin attack • July 1995 Paris subway bombing • February 2004 Moscow subway bombing • March 2004 Madrid train system bombings • July 2005 London underground and bus bombings

  4. Infrastructure Security Challenges • Transportation systems, by their nature, invite public access • Roadways and rail systems are spread across the landscape • Distances can make response times long • Information networks (CCTV, alarm reporting) can be expensive because of distances

  5. Vulnerable Points • Rail Stations and Railways • Open to public access • Busy/Crowded • Small explosive device can have big impact • Difficult to monitor for terrorist activity • Difficult to screen passengers • Can have economic impact with loss of public confidence

  6. Vulnerable Points • Roadways, Bridges and Tunnels • Open to public access • Traffic gridlock can present an inviting target • Maintenance points give access to critical areas • Vehicle borne explosives are difficult to detect

  7. Best Practices • Rail Stations • Work with police and emergency response staff to design around security concept of operations • Use pedestrian modeling to eliminate choke points in passenger flow • Use CCTV to monitor interior and exterior • Use intrusion alarm on all entries to non-public spaces • Place police or emergency response assets and accommodations at key points

  8. Best Practices • Roadways, Bridges and Tunnels • Work with police and emergency response staff to design around security concept of operations • Use CCTV to monitor traffic flows and unusual behavior • Use intrusion alarm on all entries to non-public spaces • Incorporate automatic toll collection equipment into the security system • Use lighting to deter criminal activity

  9. Best Practices • Use technology • Share technology • Collect data and share information

  10. Best Practices • Communications is Imperative • Information is critical • Communication of alarms, unusual events or suspicious activity must be instant • Communications in the management of event response saves lives and minimizes damage • Communication Systems must be part of any design

  11. Best Practices • Communications is a Vulnerability • Information must be kept close • Design drawings are a terrorists best asset • Safeguarding security designs may require different procurement methods in the public sector • Procedures for handling security sensitive information before, during and after design and construction are a must

  12. Ministerial Conference on International Transport Security • Sharing best practice • Promoting international cooperation R&D, technology, detecting and monitoring • Encourage government cooperation with stakeholders • Encourage creation of international working group • Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Republic of Korea, Russian Federation, Singapore, UK, USA.

  13. UNECE Role • Road Transport Infrastructure, European agreement on main international traffic arteries TRANS/SC.1/2002/3 April 2003 • European agreement on main international railway lines ECE/TRANS/63 May 1985 • European agreement on important international combined transport lines and related installations ECE/TRANS/88/rev.3 • European agreement on main inland waterways of international importance ECE/TRANS/120 • Basis for future agreement on levels of service and equipment?

  14. UNECE Role? • Lead or support international cooperation • Supplement existing agreements • Identify priority facilities • Stipulate recommended security measures
