Zornitsa Dimitrova, S Dermendzhieva, K Chakarova · 2014
Although often considered together, transport security and safety issues differ in nature, characteristics and issues. Transport security is the prevention of unlawful interference with passengers, freight and transport infrastructure. Security must give users confidence to use transport. Transport safety refers to methods and measures to protect people and goods from risks directly related to and arising from transport. Safety concerns all public and private, motorised and non-motorised, passenger and freight transport modes. The research projects are presented in two subthemes as follows: 1. Security: protection of passengers and workers from unlawful interference or attack; 2. Safety: prevention of accidents and mitigation measures in the event of accident.
