CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SITUATIONAL BACKGROUND FOR A PROTECTED OBJECT OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE (ON THE EXAMPLE OF AUTOMOBILE VEHICLES)

Abstract

The work is devoted to the development of the foundations of a new conceptual approach to identifying signs of preparing a terrorist act or other hostile actions against protected objects using the example of the use of the situational background of motor vehicles in protected critical infrastructure facilities. The work initially gave a description of the protected objects of critical infrastructure. It has been shown that nuclear and hydroelectric power plants, chemical and petrochemical plants, metallurgical plants and enterprises of the defense industry, telecommunication centers (communication centers) and a lot of other state enterprises and private institutions are among the critical infrastructure objects that are protected, the failure or malfunction of which can cause a loss Management or lead to significant losses at the national, regional or local level. Identification features of motor vehicles operating near critical infrastructure facilities are considered. Two groups of characteristics are identified according to which data are collected. The first group of identification signs includes ten subgroups. The first - belonging to the protected object (object, near the object, transit vehicle) and the owner of the vehicle. The second is the destination (cargo, passenger, special). Third - Appearance (brand, color, damage, etc.). The fourth is the number of state, departmental or international registration. The fifth is the characteristics of the driver of the vehicle. The sixth is the type and location of the engine. Seventh - Design features of the vehicle. Eighth - the presence of a trailer, tug and other devices. The ninth - the availability and characteristics of passengers. Tenth - the availability and characteristics of goods. This group of identification features is called a group of static characteristics, since they completely allow the identification of an automobile vehicle. The second group is a group of dynamic characteristics that describe the movement of vehicles. It includes subgroups of characteristics that determine the route of the car. The first is the point of departure. The second is the destination. The third is the time of departure. The fourth is the time of arrival. The fifth is the time and place of the stops. The sixth is the purpose of these stops and their duration. Seventh and subsequent subgroups of characteristics are given depending on the type of vehicle. Systematization of data, about vehicles appearing in close proximity to the object, allows for each vehicle to have a set of standard characteristics of its use. This is not only the route of the car, the time and place of parking it in the parking lot near the facility, the time of departure from the parking lot and the route of the return journey. This and the number of people coming with the driver and leaving with him, it's stopping for the purpose of landing (landing) of passengers, buying food and refueling the car, and much more. All this information on the days of the week, on weekends and holidays, in summer, autumn, winter and spring allows you to create databases and knowledge of all vehicles operating near critical infrastructure facilities. The totality of these data is usually called the situational background of motor vehicles operating near the protected critical infrastructure facility. The more fixations of the vehicle will be performed, the more accurate will be the staff characteristics of its use. It is shown that the registration, collection, systematization and subsequent periodic analysis of deviations from the standard characteristics of the use of vehicles operating in the protected facilities of critical infrastructure, allows early detection of signs characterizing the preparation of a terrorist act or other hostile actions with respect to a protected facility.
