Resilience of transportation networks in the face of randomness: A System Dynamics approach

Armenia S et al. - Critical Infrastructures are widely perceived as the backbone of today's society and awareness about their security needs is constantly growing. Due to the fact that infrastructures are no longer a public-authority monopoly, investments in security and resilience need to be proven effective and cost-efficient vis-à-vis the emerging challenging and the issues at stake.
