C H A P T E R   N ° 21 The Rail Transport Sector and Mitigation Measures

 

 

Dear reader, 

In today’s article, we will furtherly explore the relation between space weather and the railway transport sector.

 

We will look closer at the creation of Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs) and its relation to the Earth’s atmosphere. Additionally, we will discuss the interdependencies within critical infrastructure with a focus on the railway sector and the risks and vulnerabilities associated with such dependencies. Lastly, a set of mitigation measures will be presented.

 

 

Hoplon wishes you a pleasant read and hope to see you again soon!
