Consensus-Driven Models for QVA in Transportation Corridors

In this chapter, two consensus -driven methods, the Index Method , and the Relevance Matrices Method, for quantitative assessment of vulnerability in transportation systems, are discussed. These methods are derived from Nilsson, Magnusson, Hallin, and Lenntorp’s work: Models for vulnerability auditing and distribution of governmental economical means at the local authority level (Nilsson et al. in Models for vulnerability auditing and distribution of governmental economical means at the local authority level. Lund University Centre for Risk Analysis and Management (LUCRAM), Lund, Sweden, 2001).
