3. Background
In recent years, various terrorist attacks have caused
large-scale destruction and insecurity. These events have
also turned the world’s attention to the need to better
secure transport systems.
There are many reasons why transport is a relatively easy
target:
1.Transport systems have not been designed to cope with
security threats. Transport authorities have typically stressed
the development of transport networks which facilitate a
smooth flow of passengers and cargo while meeting safety -
not security - standards.
2.Transport means and infrastructure are very accessible.
Vehicles, roads, rail lines and waterways, including bridges
and tunnels, are in the open and largely without surveillance,
and large numbers of people often congregate in a
predictable manner.
3.Transport is complex. Each mode has its own specific
infrastructure, vehicles and regulatory requirements.
International aspects add complexity as national regulations
and norms typically differ.

4. Transport Safety - Transport Security
Transport Security involves the protection of
infrastructure, goods and persons from deliberate attack or
intent to cause damage.
Transport Safety is concerned with general safeguarding
against any form of harm, whether it is a natural disaster,
mechanical failure, or attack from an agent.
As such, transport safety subsumes some aspects of
transport security, but transport security is specifically
focused on deliberate action.

5. Definition of Transport Security
A broad approach to the transport security concept (in relation
to safety):
“the protection of human beings, transport
means and transport infrastructure against
unlawful acts of any kind, including crime,
vandalism and terrorism”

United Nations Economic Commission for Europe

13. UNECE perceived deficiencies in the
area of inland transport security.
Security of passengers on urban transport appears to be
neglected on international level as compared to efforts
undertaken to enhance security in the area of transport of goods.
While many protective measures already exist in ports and
airports, inland transport seems to be relatively under-
protected due to its “open environment”.
There is no international body for land transport security, of
both goods and passengers, equivalent to IMO and ICAO (which
have been instrumental in increasing worldwide maritime and air
security).
PAGE 13

14. UNECE recommendations
… for improving inland transport security in inter alia the following
areas of activity: infrastructure, personnel, goods, transport
means, information exchange and borders.”
In the area of transport of dangerous goods, assessment of the
implementation of ADR, ADN and RID.
Russia, with assistance of the UNECE, may convene an
international conference to address issues of future co-operation
in inland transport security.
Future security work could include the following inland transport
areas:
• container security beyond maritime/ports;
• public urban transport security,
• critical transport infrastructure protection and
• research in the area of transport security technology.

15. EU - ITS Action Plan of 16 Dec 2008
What happens if nothing is done?
• If no specific measures are taken,
• passengers will continue to suffer from lack of security on
public transport,
• road hauliers from stolen cargo and lack of security on
parking places.
• Insufficient attention to data security will hinder the uptake
of in-vehicle active safety systems.
Security Challenge:
• Transport security, especially the need to
• protect travellers and transport workers and
• secure transport facilities and assets,
• must be taken into account without jeopardising efficient
and effective transport operations.

16. EU - ITS Action Plan
INTELLIGENT TRANSPORT SYSTEMS
In air transport, SESAR will be the framework for the
implementation of a new generation of air traffic management.
Inland waterways are introducing River Information Services (RIS)
to manage waterway utilisation and the transport of freight.
The railway network is gradually introducing the European Rail
Traffic Management System (ERTMS) and Telematics Applications
for Freight (TAF-TSI).
Shipping has introduced SafeSeaNet and Vessel Traffic
Monitoring and Information Systems (VTMIS) and is progressing
towards an Automatic Identification System (AIS) and Long-Range
Identification and Tracking (LRIT).
Examples of Intelligent Transport Systems applications in road
transport include urban and motorway traffic management and
control systems, electronic toll collection and route navigation. But
until now there has been no similar coherent European framework
for interconnection between road and the other transport modes.
