Description
Securing Integrated Transportation Networks provides a comprehensive look at multimodal transportation security—its dynamics, evolving threats and technology advances that enhance operational security and related infrastructure protection and hardening, as well as the regulatory environment. As threats are evolving, so is the technology used in enhancing transportation security, operational procedures, and regulations. This book will address this dynamic evolution of transportation security.This book serves as a primary reference for information on of the range of activities and components involved in transportation security. It covers the myriad moving parts involved in the relationship between and among logistics, the supply chains and transportation entities, and the concepts, approaches and methods that are being employed to effect greater security. It looks at operations, infrastructure, equipment, laws and regulations, policies and procedures, and risk focused on transportation safety and security by mode and transportation in general. Cooperation and partnering with and among the industry, to include transportation providers and government agencies, is the way forward to ensure that security is maintained and keeps pace with the evolving threat and regulatory landscape.This book benefits students in homeland security, supply chain management and transportation planning and engineering by providing a practical resource written by industry practitioners with "boots-on-the-ground" security experience and analysis of real-world case studies. In addition, it provides a practitioner-focused reference book for those in the transportation and supply chain industries, to include its government, associated industries, and academic partners.- Introduces readers to the characteristics of the motive power, freight or passage haulage units, physical infrastructure required, the operating environment itself and the information technology applicable to both operating and managing customer-provider relationships—all of which to foster safe, secure, effective, and efficient operations- Includes discussion questions and case studies available for assignments and subsequent classroom discussion, whereby real-world scenarios serve to hone analytical abilities- Discusses the risks and vulnerabilities that various supply chains and associated transportation modes may pose to the ability of a firm to maintain ongoing operations, helping them to analyze trade-offs and mitigate threats
