6 Transportation Infrastructure of New Jersey New Jersey (Gov. Whitman’s 1998 plan, NJ FIRST). $30 billion, 12-year transportation vision. – “FIX IT FIRST” Eliminate bridge deficiencies on national highways. Repair deficient state highways. Resolve flooded state road problems. – “PLAN TODAY” Construct missing highway links. Develop intermodal connections. Construct and complete light rail lines. CAIT RUTGERS

8 Critical Infrastructure Sectors Future Research Challenges

9 The Protection Challenge (Transportation) Aviation 5000 public airports Passenger Rail and Railroads 120,000 miles of major railroads Highways, Trucking and Busing 590,000 highway bridges Pipelines 2 million miles of pipelines Maritime 300 inland/coastal ports Mass Transit 500 major urban public transit operators

10 Cross-sector Security Initiatives  Planning and Resource Allocation  Information Sharing and Warnings  Personnel Survey, Building Human Capital and Awareness  Technology and Research & Development  Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis National Strategy for the Physical Protection of Critical Infrastructure and Key Assets, the Strategy, February 2003

11 Technology and Research & Development  Coordinate Public-Private security R&D  Coordinate standards for compatibility of communication systems  Explore methods to authenticate and verify personnel identity  Improve technical surveillance, monitoring and detection capabilities  Condition monitoring of bridges, tunnels and transit stations  Detection of CBR residues in transportation corridors  Integration of sensor information with legacy IMS
