This fourth volume of TCRP Report 86, "Public Transportation Security," will be of interest to general managers, senior executives, operational and technical managers, transit police, security personnel, and financial and procurement staff. Personnel with similar responsibilities at departments of transportation or public works will also find this report of value. The objective of this report is to address transit agencies' needs for evaluating and upgrading the intrusion detection systems applicable to the spectrum of their facilities (including tunnels, bridges, buildings, power stations, transfer stations, rail yards, bus yards, and parking lots) and their transit vehicles (such as buses, trains, support vehicles, and special purpose vehicles). The Handbook provides guidance on assessing system needs; developing system designs; and estimating system costs, benefits, and risks. The systems discussed in the Handbook range from low-technology to more complex high-technology systems and directly support the deterrence and detection of intrusion into secure areas.
