Transportation system safety and reliability pertain to the dominant factors affecting present life of human society. In this paper, we describe the method for an analysis and further subsequent optimization of complex transportation system safety and reliability based on their complex sensitivity investigation. Reasonable applications of this theoretical tool can also be used for improvement of complex transportation system resistance against terrorist activities.
A trial of analogies utilization among electrical, mechanical and information circuits is presented. The concepts of Information Power and significant proximity of the measure of information and knowledge could enable upgrading these analogies for solving important tasks from the area of Systems Engineering. This attempt seems to be attractive, as it could help in using the well-established and proved methodologies from the classical areas of electricity or mechanics.
