Abstract
Critical Infrastructures (CIs) are complex systems with a set of individual elements, such as buildings and facilities, technological equipment and energy supply networks, engineering, technology and other communications. The system criteria of Critical Infrastructures stability and their threshold are shown in the paper. The main criterion of CIs protection is engineering and functional stability. And the special criteria are the next: the criterion of work safety; the criterion of environmental safety; the criterion of energy safety; the criterion of resource safety (resource using in CIs); the criterion of CIs’ automation level; the criterion of technological equipment safety; the criterion of reliability of project design solution; the criterion of engineering systems reliability; the criterion of engineering safety; the criterion of explosion and fire safety. The algorithm for evaluation of Critical Infrastructures stability is formulated in this paper.
Highlights
For many years the basis for the development of standards and regulations of critical infrastructures stability was the concept of absolute security, which began on the dawn of the technological revolution [2]
In this paper we have studied the available tools for evaluation of Critical Infrastructures (CIs) stability
Through an analysis of recent literature and according to expert evaluation method we have identified the main criteria of CIs stability
Summary
For many years the basis for the development of standards and regulations of critical infrastructures stability was the concept of absolute security, which began on the dawn of the technological revolution [2]. The idea of absolute security concept is based on the strict regulatory approach and it is a logical analysis of possible initiating events of emergency situations at the facility. It helps to model the factors influencing at the facility and to develop a system of compulsory measures to reduce possible losses. In foreign and Russian literature [2], as well as to the authors’ research work, preference is given to the second probabilistic approach of acceptable risk This concept helps to define a quantitative evaluation of risk level; to simulate ways of transition emergencies situations to accidents accompanied by affecting factors; to establish acceptable levels of risk and etc. CIs are complex systems with a set of individual elements, such as buildings and facilities, technological equipment and energy supply networks, engineering, technology and other communications, so we have to make a system of criteria, which helps us to determine the composition of protected and secured working space for Cis [6,7,16]
