Abstract

The paper deals with topical information from the area of crisis information support. The contributing authors work at three co-operating universities where the subject of transport support in crises is tackled. At present the electronic support of crisis management in transport is necessary prerequisite for the functioning of transport system under both common and emergency situations. The outcomes of scientific research projects are new even from a broader European perspective. The preparation of complex automated information system for remote management of crisis situations in rail transport is new and has not been published yet. The outcomes of extensive analysis, gradually developed methodologies and data sets are presented in the paper together with the current outcomes regarding the electronic support of crisis management in transport.

Highlights

  • During the last decade the global security research was markedly focused on solving the problems of critical infrastructure

  • Special attention has been paid to the current outcomes of the projects within the 7th EU Framework Programme aimed at improving the long-distance control of rail transport and the information support of crisis management

  • The term change of operational conditions is used in the methodology for naming all the EVENTS on the railway. It may be characterized as a course of action which disturbed the traffic on railway and in order to identify the type of event better it may be subdivided in the following way: G the stoppage of traffic – hazard may result in inability to operate the rail transport; G the change of schedule – hazard may result in the reduced range of transport; G the change of technology – hazard may have an impact on the work scheme; G the change of service – the infrastructure is not disturbed, the identified hazards may result in the change of services being offered

Summary

Introduction

During the last decade the global security research was markedly focused on solving the problems of critical infrastructure. G Complex Automated Information System for Remote Management of Crisis Situations in Rail Transport with Focus on Critical Infrastructure is the project prepared in the Czech Republic. The project VG20122015070/Ministry of Interior of the Czech Republic on the “Complex Automated Information System for Remote Management of Crisis Situations in Rail Transport with Focus on Critical Infrastructure”, called KISDIS, started in 2012. The first stages of the project in 2012-2013 are aimed at developing the methodology which will exploit earlier defined types of hazards in the area of rail transport of the Czech Republic. The outcomes of initial stages have become a real basis for the functioning of future complex information system for remote management of crisis situations in rail transport

Outcomes of the analytical part of the project
Multicriterial assessment of possible impacts
General classification of hazards on railway
Biological emergency
Outcomes discussion
Identification and selection of suitable data
Methodology for selecting and processing the types of hazards
The model of system employment
