Organized in 7 Business Divisions.-

TRIAL.- Tecnalia’s Case of Study

Core objectiveTo evaluate the potential of knowledge based approaches to identify potential vulnerabilities and threats to the chemical goods supply chain (production, storage, transportation).

TRIAL

TECNALIA’s approach

Definition of evidences and arguments to assured that vulnerabilities and threats are managed in the right way in chemical railway transport chain.

Definition of tools to facilitate a graphical visualization vulnerabilities and threats and their relationships.

Scenario development for the Chemical good Supply Chain based on real end-users needs.

Domains

1. Prevention and Threat Assessment of critical infrastructures

(covering aspect such as infrastructures and vehicles).

2. Safety and security in Intermodal transport.

3. Chemical Good Supply Chain protection.

TRIAL.-

Objectives.-• Identification of potential threats and risk to propose new implemented protocols for

safety and security issues.• Gaps identification in the security and safety methodologies, standards and protocols.• Setting of new preventions counter-measurement and recommendations for the

security increase.• Increasing best practices on the Chemical Good Transport Chain.• Improving the communication and commune protocols definition between the actors

involved in the prevention phase and in the restoring phase.• Identification of the distinguishing needs for the Intermodal transport chain and for

the chemical goods transport.• Functionality effectiveness maintenance and security guarantee during transport,

storage and transfer.• Actions mechanism proposition to minimize or control of the risk from safety or

security point of view.• Social and economic impact estimation.
