SiVe project successfully completed after three years
Sep 20, 2011 | The project “Verbesserung der Sicherheit von Verkehrsinfrastrukturen“ (short: SiVe, English: “Improving the Security of Airport Infrastructures“), in which Bauhaus Luftfahrt actively took part, has been completed as planned after three years of research. In a final meeting of all project partners held today in Munich, the project has officially been completed. SiVe was funded by the German Ministry for Education and Research (“Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung”, BMBF) and supervised by the VDI Technology Centre (“Verein Deutscher Ingenieure”).
Within SiVe, Bauhaus Luftfahrt was among other tasks responsible for the development of a tool for the modeling of threat scenarios. The tool combines roundabout 150 potential threat elements for airports in a way that enabled the researchers to systematically form plausible threat scenarios. As the elements were also linked with several dozen security activities and technologies applied by airports a structural analysis of the respective relations could furthermore help to assess the interaction of potentially effective counter-measures. This method hence allowed for the effective derivation of possible structural weaknesses.
Besides Bauhaus Luftfahrt, the list of project participants contained numerous notable industry players as well as academic and non-academic research institutions, among them the European Aeronautics Defence and Space Company (EADS), Munich Airport, the Fraunhofer Application Centre for Logistics System Planning and Information Systems (ALI), the Chair of Financial Management and Capital Markets of the Technische Universität München (TUM) as well as CKC Group. The final reports of the SiVe project partners are expected to be published by year-end.
