Luca Urciuoli, Martin Nyberg, Sten Wandel · Lund University Publications (Lund University) · 2009
Theft, smuggling, counterfeiting and terror attacks constitute serious security threats against private stakeholders and national economies. R&D in the field of ITS has mostly focused on solutions that improve transportation efficiency and safety. This article illustrates a framework for cost-benefit analyses to support design and investment in ITS security systems. Next, it shows how a network centric architecture can be used to integrate ITS solutions and to improve cargo security, safety, environmental impact, and logistics efficiency. The framework is demonstrated with an ITS security solution at Stockholm-Arlanda airport developed by Saab. Finally possibilities for managers and policy makers are discussed.
