Contents:
Overview of Reliability and Vulnerability in Critical Infrastructure -- Transport Network Vulnerability: a Method for Diagnosis of Critical Locations in Transport Infrastructure Systems -- A Framework for Vulnerability Assessment of Electric Power Systems -- Spatio-Temporal Models for Network Economic Loss Analysis Under Unscheduled Events: A Conceptual Design -- Vulnerability: A Model-Based Case Study of the Road Network in Stockholm -- Survivability of Commercial Backbones with Peering: A Case Study of Korean Networks -- Railway Capacity and Train Delay Relationships -- A Reliability-based User Equilibrium Model for Traffic Assignment -- Reliability Analysis of Road Networks and Preplanning of Emergency Rescue Paths -- Continuity in Critical Network Infrastructures: Accounting for Nodal Disruptions -- Analysis of Facility Systems’ Reliability When Subject to Attack or a Natural Disaster -- Bounding Network Interdiction Vulnerability Through Cutset Identification -- Models for Reliable Supply Chain Network Design -- Moving from Protection to Resiliency: A Path to Securing Critical Infrastructure.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: This text brings together differing geographic perspectives in modeling and analysis in order to highlight infrastructure weaknesses or plan for their protection. International scholars, from a variety of disciplines – geography, regional science, planning, public policy, operations research, mathematics, computer science, engineering and transportation - offer varying perspectives on this subject. This text is an important contribution offering synthesis and new methodological approaches. The purpose of this volume is to explore the potential consequences of critical infrastructure failure, stemming from both man-made (e.g., terrorist attacks) and natural disasters (earthquakes, hurricanes, etc.). The approaches employed are wide-ranging, including geographic, economic and social perspectives on critical infrastructure issues.
