infrastructure protection. Using pipelines, tunnels, underground
rapid rail, and transit systems as examples, it maintains an
emphasis on applying quantitative psychology to risk management in
the areas of homeland security and defense. Outlines the background
and system operations of pipelines, tunnels, underground rail, and
transit systems as well as other super-speed futuristic trains
Covers materials used for fabricating weapons of mass destruction
and operations for terrorism Deals with the probabilistic risk
estimation process, event tree analysis, and fault tree analysis
Discusses the risk and vulnerability assessment tools and
methodologies used by experts and governmental agencies Approved
