Methodology of identification and protection of soft targets of transport infrastructure – initial study

Abstract

This article is focused on the methodology of identification and protection of soft targets of the transport system. In our research, we try to find new possibilities of protection of the soft targets. The first step is identifying which objects, places or events are the soft targets and calculating their vulnerability in the other action. We create our methodology for the calculation of the vulnerability of the soft targets, especially the transport system. Nowadays, the methodology is in the beginning and we describe the initial study. This article defines the soft targets, shows statistics of attacks, and presents our methodology and results. © 2021 Kaunas University of Technology. All rights reserved.
