RIKOV – Risk analysis of terrorist threats to rail-bound public transportation: Development of an integrated planning solution for efficient economic and organisational measures

Major terrorist incidents in Tokyo (1995), Madrid (2004), London (2005) and Mumbai (2006) set new standards for attacks on public transport networks.
