This article presents a research that was aimed at developing a better understanding of current threats and how to conduct risk assessments in public transport networks by following generic guidelines that can be adapted according to each organization's needs. The aim is to facilitate the task of identifying threats and conduct a vulnerability analysis to help decision makers to prioritize resources in a systematic manner and consequently increase resilience. This article also highlights the main benefits and constraints of performing risk assessments and how the results of risk assessments can be used as a solid foundation for a structured, analytically clear, and systematic approach to security planning for a public transport network.

    In addition to the summary of the above research, a questionnaire was distributed among three main operators in Europe to gain more insight about the current state of the art in risk assessments in public transport systems. Key aspects of the research can be found presented as Guidelines for Users in the accompanying papers by Barr and Luyten.
