The book comprises a number of research papers presented at several Computers in Railways Conferences. It has been compiled by Giuseppe Sciutto, from Università degli Studi di Genova, and contains selected papers originating from different countries, such as France, Germany, Japan, Italy, Spain, USA, and Taiwan. There is a strong lack of agreement regarding the safety approaches adopted by different transportation modes while the sudden increased demands for security for both freight and passengers has provided a more uniform methodological approach. The papers in this volume give an overview of the current state-of-the-art analytical approaches, methods and simulation tools for the modelling and analysis of the safety and security of transport networks. Topics include e.g. the role of the notified bodies in the process of the railway liberalization, safety at the platform, computer architectures and safety integrity level apportionment, potential dangerous object detection on railway ballast using digital image processing, as well as taking advantage of some complementary modelling methods to meet critical system requirement specifications.

Human errors, as well as deliberate sabotage, pose a considerable danger to passengers riding on the modern railways and have created disastrous consequences. To protect civilians against both intentional and unintentional threats, rail transportation has become increasingly automated. Railway Safety, Reliability, and Security: Technologies and Systems Engineering provides engineering students and professionals with a collection of state-of-the-art methodological and technological notions to support the development and certification of ‘real-time safety-critical’ railway control systems, as well as the protection of rail transportation infrastructures.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Reliability, Safety, and Security of Railway Systems, RSSRail 2019, held in Lille, France in June 2019. The 18 full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 38 submissions. They cover a range of topics including railways system and infrastructure advance modelling; scheduling and track planning; safety process and validation; modelling; formal verification; and security.

Safety and Security Engineering is an interdisciplinary area of research and this book includes specially selected papers. These papers encompass the work of engineers, scientists, field researchers and other specialists involved in one or more of the theoretical and practical aspects of safety and security. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of this field it forms an area of research and application that brings together in a systematic way, many disciplines of engineering, from the traditional to the most technologically advanced. This volume covers topics such as crisis management, security engineering, natural and man-made disasters and emergencies, risk management, and control, protection and mitigation issues.

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the Second International Conference on Reliability, Safety and Security of Railway Systems, RRSRail 2017, held in Pistoia, Italy, in November 2017. The 16 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 34 submissions. They are organized in topical sections named: communication challenges in railway systems; formal modeling and verification for safety; light rail and urban transit; and engineering techniques and standards. The book also contains one keynote talk in full-paper length.

This book provides an overview and assessment of the security risks, both manmade and natural, facing the railways and rail networks. Railroads face significant threats from disasters, but with situational awareness and coordinated effort these can often be substantially minimized. Transportation assets have always been vulnerable to natural disasters, but in the current environment these assets are also a preferred target of human-caused disruption, especially in the form of terrorism, as the events in many other parts of the world have underscored. Railways are not a homogeneous mode of transportation given their various roles in intercity and commuter passenger movement, as well as being a major portion of the freight ton-miles upon which the U.S. economy is highly dependent. Designed to provide advice for railway owners and first responders, this text discusses how to secure hazardous material transport and how to establish guidelines for rail freight operations and rail passenger operations. The book aims to develop an understanding of the unique operating characteristics of railways, the nature and the range of vulnerabilities, the present means for protecting the infrastructure, and the public policy initiatives that are prerequisite for developing a comprehensive appreciation of the magnitude of this issue. The book utilizes case studies of transport disasters to illustrate lessons learned and to provide critical insight into preventative measures. This book will be of great interest to students and practitioners of transportation, technology and engineering, and security management.

The Handbook of RAMS in Railway Systems: Theory and Practice addresses the complexity in today's railway systems, which use computers and electromechanical components to increase efficiency while ensuring a high level of safety. RAM (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability) addresses the specifications and standards that manufacturers and operators have to meet. Modeling, implementation, and assessment of RAM and safety requires the integration of railway engineering systems; mathematical and statistical methods; standards compliance; and financial/economic factors. This Handbook brings together a group of experts to present RAM and safety in a modern, comprehensive manner.

Originating from presentations at the 17th International Conference on Railway Engineering Design and Operation, this volume contains selected research works on the topic. It is important to continue to update the use of advanced systems by promoting general awareness throughout the management, design, manufacture and operation of railways and other emerging passenger, freight and transit systems. The included papers help to facilitate this goal and place a key focus on the applications of computer systems in advanced railway engineering. These research studies will be of interest to all those involved in the development of railways, including managers, consultants, railway engineers, designers of advanced train control systems and computer specialists.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of six International Workshops that were held in conjunction with the 26th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security, ESORICS 2021, which took place during October 4-6, 2021. The conference was initially planned to take place in Darmstadt, Germany, but changed to an online event due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 32 papers included in these proceedings stem from the following workshops: the 7th Workshop on the Security of Industrial Control Systems and of Cyber-Physical Systems, CyberICPS 2021, which accepted 7 papers from 16 submissions; the 5th International Workshop on Security and Privacy Requirements Engineering, SECPRE 2021, which accepted 5 papers from 8 submissions; the 4th International Workshop on Attacks and Defenses for Internet-of-Things, ADIoT 2021, which accepted 6 full and 1 short paper out of 15 submissions; the 3rd Workshop on Security, Privacy, Organizations, and Systems Engineering, SPOSE 2021, which accepted 5 full and 1 short paper out of 13 submissions. the 2nd Cyber-Physical Security for Critical Infrastructures Protection, CPS4CIP 2021, which accepted 3 full and 1 short paper out of 6 submissions; and the 1st International Workshop on Cyber Defence Technologies and Secure Communications at the Network Edge, CDT & SECOMANE 2021, which accepted 3 papers out of 7 submissions.
