Safety, Security, & Vulnerability

The thematic area "Safety, Security, and Vulnerability" is concerned with safety and security issues of large metropolitan areas, where the concentration of modal traffic presents risks to pedestrians, drivers, and transit passengers, and where the concentration of major transportation facilities as well as population now generates significant vulnerability to both natural and man-made disasters. Topics include 1) personal safety and security on public facilities, including pedestrian safety, reduction of crash risk, public transit safety; 2) security and vulnerability of major infrastructure, including vulnerability assessment, detection and surveillance methods and policies with emphasis on goods movement; 3) safety and risk mitigation, including loss estimation and seismic risk analysis of infrastructure components, structures, and networks
