Fund Allocation for Transportation Infrastructure Security Upgrading

Security of transportation infrastructure is of primary importance in recent years as a result of various breaches worldwide. Increased security concerns leads transportation authorities to improve, upgrade and enhance surveillance, prevention and response equipment in facilities, frequently under tight budget and operational constraints. In this context, the authors propose a generic selection and resource allocation (S&RA) model for security upgrade of civil infrastructure, along with a novel technique for efficiently solving the model for real-world instances. An application of the model is offered for the case of the Athens, Greece, metro system, and results are discussed.
