  5. Making the Nation Safer: GENERAL STRATEGIES AND RESEARCH NEEDS • BiologicalResearch, prepare, distribute response to pathogens • Chemical/ExplosivesSensors & filters • Info TechnologyNetwork security/ER communications • EnergySCADA controls/adaptive grid/vulnerabilities • Cities/InfrastructureEmergency responder support • TransportationLayered system security • People Trusted spokespersons • Complex SystemsData fusion/data mining/red-teaming • Cross-Cutting TechnologySensors/robots/SCADAs/systems analysis • DeploymentHomeland Security Institute, Partnerships among feds/states/locals/universities • NuclearControl weapons & materials at source

  6. Making the Nation Safer: The Role of Science and Technology in Countering Terrorism (cont.) • Predict: Intelligence and surveillance of targets and means • Prevent: Disrupt networks, contain threats • Protect: Harden targets, immunize populations • Interdict: Frustrate attacks, manage crisis • Response & Recovery: Mitigate damage, expedite cleanup • Attribute: Identify attacker to facilitate response

  7. http://www.nap.edu/shelves/first/ Expert-selected Web resources for “First Responders” on bioterrorism and public safety

  8. Additional National Academies Studies and Activities • In Progress • Disasters Roundtable • Sensor Systems for Biological Agent Attacks: Protecting Buildings and Military Bases • Standards and Policies for Decontaminating Public Transportation Facilities Affected by Exposure to Harmful Biological Agents: How Clean is Safe?

  9. All of TRB is Engaged in Security Activities Division D: Cooperative Research Programs National Cooperative Highway Research Program Transit Cooperative Research Program Commercial Truck and Bus Safety Synthesis Program

  11. TRB Standing Committee on Critical Transportation Infrastructure Protection SUBCOMMITTEE STRUCTURE: • Systems Analysis & Planning: Interdependencies • Systems Integration & Management: Architectures • Information Assurance • Technology Development, Demonstration & Deployment • Training, Education & Technology Transfer • Liaison and Public Policy/Public Service & Awareness

  13. Deterrence, Protection, and Preparation: The New Transportation Security Imperative Research Needs · Technology—faster, better, cheaper, smaller, usable in the real world · Systems Approach—understand how the system works—factor security into design · Human Factors—recognize that even perfect systems are run by imperfect people · Unconventional Thinking—what is in the terrorist’s mind? How do we stay ahead?

  14. Other TRB Studies and Activities • In Progress • Assessment of Security Technologies for Transportation (Nat’l Materials Advisory Board, lead) • Federal Role in the Marine Transportation System • Workshop on Marine Salvage Capabilities • Transportation of Radioactive Waste (Board on Radioactive Waste Management, lead) • Scoping Activities • Redundancies in Transportation Systems • Expected Role and Performance of Metropolitan Transportation Systems in Emergencies • Marine Transportation of Energy • Pipelines and Public Safety • Freight Transportation Information Systems Security

  15. Commercial Truck & Bus Safety Synthesis: Security Measures in the Commercial Trucking and Bus Industries • October 2001: FMCSA commits $400,000 to CTBSSP • April 2002: contract issued for CTBSSP 1: Security Measures in the Commercial Trucking and Bus Industries • April 2003: Final Report • June 2003: Published
