Protection of high-speed trains against bomb-carrying unmanned aerial vehicles

Journal of Transportation Security, 2017
The problem of terrorist acts on railways has become more acute with the advent of high-speed trains. Terrorist acts and resulting wrecks of high-speed trains will have much more serious consequences than a conventional train crash. Analysis of the capabilities of technical security systems applied to counter-terrorist protection of high-speed trains ...
