Abstract:
The failure of critical infrastructure is becoming a more and more debated topic in the society. There is a need to plan and implement a functional and secure critical infrastructure. Road transportation has significant influence over the correct functioning of critical infrastructure. A case of disruption of security and functionality leads to distortion between other elements. This process causes a disturbance or paralysis of critical infrastructure. The first part of the article focuses on transport critical infrastructure and its importance for maintaining vital societal function. Road transportation has also significant influence over the correct functioning of critical infrastructure. Next, we present different approaches to dynamic modeling of the impacts of road transportation. The presented approaches provide some basic knowledge to implement dynamic modeling into practice. The conclusion of the article focuses on the design of dynamic modeling in road transportation, based on a deterministic approach. Conclusion outputs are seen as a fundamental baseline for selected processes of security project Resilience 2015.
