Report to Congress on Innovative Safety and Security Technology Solutions for Alternative Transportation Facilities

This research collected information on the frequency and impact of safety and security incidents (threats) at selected facilities and identified priority incidents at each facility. A customized “all hazards” approach was used to determine the hazards that could impact the facilities to determine which assets (people, property, and materials) were vulnerable to man-made or natural threats at the facilities. The threats were sub-divided into safety and security dimensions and then broken out into incident categories. Once the priority issues were identified, additional research focused on finding innovative technologies that could address these issues.
