Overview

Background & policy context:

In the logistics infrastructure of Germany freight transport centers as logistics nodes play an important role in the supply of goods. In a freight transport centre, different modes of transport, such as road or rail, are brought together with other parties involved. In case of a disturbance of a freight transport centre, for example by terrorist acts, this can lead to national and international product supply bottlenecks.

Objectives:

The PREPAREDNET security scenario is based on the assumption of the disruption of a freight transport centrr through terrorist acts or other unpredictable events. The goal of the project is the design of an emergency concept, which ensures the flow of goods even in case of a significant disturbance. In this new concept an emergency operation mode should be activated immediately after the occurrence of a damage.
