Abstract
The paper deals with transportation infrastructure criticality because this quantity determines the State capability to overcome the critical conditions and to ensure the inhabitants survival. The criticality rates for individual types of transportation infrastructure and for the entire transportation infrastructure are determined by data from experts from the areas: transportation; transportation management in the territory; supply chains; public administration; and the Integrated Rescue System. The experts assessed 14 factors, which have been often used in the developed world countries, from the view of human security and development. The result values and their interpretations were determined by using the Multiatribute Utility Theory.
Highlights
Transportation infrastructure belongs to the basic systems that make up the critical infrastructure in the European Union, in developed countries and in the Czech Republic
The most important property in such type of system is the interoperability of partial systems that depends on interdependences [1]
The interdependences are the cause of different emergent phenomena and cascade failures that cause that the transportation infrastructure does not fulfil its function, i.e. the serviceability of territory at normal, abnormal and critical conditions if it is threatened the human survival and State stability
Summary
Transportation infrastructure belongs to the basic systems that make up the critical infrastructure in the European Union, in developed countries and in the Czech Republic. The interdependences are the cause of different emergent phenomena and cascade failures that cause that the transportation infrastructure does not fulfil its function, i.e. the serviceability of territory at normal, abnormal and critical conditions if it is threatened the human survival and State stability. The subject of this work is to assess the criticality of the transportation infrastructure in the Czech Republic on the basis of the integral safety concept, which aims are security and development of the territory concerned and its inhabitants. For the assessment of the criticality we use criteria used in developed countries, multi-objective approach and data from experts whose qualification is certified according to the criteria used in the European Union [1]
