The METRIP Tool

  • First Online:
Railway Infrastructure Security

Abstract

This chapter describes the results of the work conducted within the METRIP project in order to define a tool-chain supporting the methodological approach to the protection of railway infrastructures. The proposed tool-chain allows for: (a) modelling the RIS infrastructure, attack scenarios and protection technologies, (b) generating quantitative models to perform vulnerability analyses, and (c) generating and solving integer linear programming covering models to determine the optimal design choice in the development of physical protection systems. The chapter illustrates the functional and logical architecture of the tool-chain and describes the realization of a prototype to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach.
