Thesis: The transportation system is composed of independent subsystems that depend on each other to help identify vulnerabilities. Each system is evaluated individually and then collectively to identify vulnerable areas. Interoperability is disabled among modes of transportation when independent systems operate on private hardware and software platforms. Electronic communication and internet exposes interoperability to viruses and malicious acts by hackers and insider threats. Each mode of…
