Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'Facing the problem of enhancing the railway security with a systematic top-down approach (i.e. to search for an all-inclusive solution valid for all the conceivable threat scenarios) is judged by PROTECTRAIL members too ambitious even if it could generate potential economies of scale and effort rationalisation. The proposed PROTECTRAIL approach is therefore to split the problem of making the railway more secure into smaller asset-specific security problems (missions) for which it is easier to reach satisfactory solutions applicable and usable in different threat scenarios. Each sub-mission could be therefore better oriented to particularly significant areas of interest, resulting from risk analysis or from rail operator priorities. In a clear view of scope and performance goals, for each sub mission it will be easier to define, research and develop solutions in terms of architectures, technology deployment, as well as the necessary procedures, organizations to manage the specific issue. The PROTECTRAIL challenge is therefore to make interoperable the single asset-specific solutions and to conceive and design a modular architectural framework where each asset-specific solution can be “plugged”, that is the basis to assure a streamlined process of federation, integration and interoperability of respective solutions. The PROTECTRAIL project will address the following security sub-missions: protection of signal and power distribution systems against any terrorism act, track clearance, clearance of trains before and after daily use, staff clearance, luggage clearance control, passenger clearance control, freight clearance control, tracking and monitoring of rolling stock carrying dangerous goods, protection of communication and information systems, stations, buildings and infrastructure protection.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Tackling the different aspects of railway security under one integrated system will help rail operators and security authorities ensure safety for travellers.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Ensuring railway security involves many different tasks and components, such as staff clearance, luggage clearance, freight clearance and protecting systems against terrorism. With this in mind, the EU-funded project 'Railway-industry partnership for integrated security of rail transport' (http://www.protectrail.eu/ (PROTECTRAIL)) tackled railway security from the perspective of a layered integrated system. It sought to divide the overall mission of security into smaller sub-tasks.
Work within the project involved designing a system that interfaces seamlessly between security sub-missions. It also involved designing and demonstrating specific sub-system architectures to overcome key security sub-missions based on rail operators' needs, integrating the best technologies available today.
To achieve its aims, PROTECTRAIL provided tools and strategies for evaluating the security potential of a given security sub-mission in terms of performance, reliability, speed and costs. It outlined user requirements, defined the main mechanisms of the required system architecture, and ran simulations in France, Italy and Poland. This led to the implementation of the preliminary version of the system with valid prototypes for the sub-missions.
All these achievements have led to the design of an integrated system that stands to radically improve the security of rail transportation through better protection of railways and trains. From shielding signal and power distribution systems against electromagnetic terrorism to detecting abnormal objects under the ballast, This new system will close the security gap between different European railway systems.
In addition to supporting performance, reliability, speed and cost efficiency, the new system will help product and service developers improve and validate related technologies. This will bring an important boost to European industry and support governments in implementing security policies. Most importantly, it will make Europe's rail system safer for travellers from every perspective.
