Security Elements In Chapter 1 the groundwork was laid to explore the application of security to transportation infrastructure and assets. As noted, security is o§en closely aligned with safety and emergency management within organizations, each of which has a slightly diœerent approach to the challenge of providing a functional environment. Clear communication among the partners
may be hindered because each discipline has its own understanding of the application of security principles. Risk, threat, and vulnerability are also related concepts that are part of the security evaluation process, but each discipline may see the challenge through a diœerent lens.
