“…Critical infrastructure resilience can be seen as a quality that reduces vulnerability, minimizes the consequences of a threat, accelerates response and system recovery, and facilitates adaptation to a destructive event (Rehak, Senovsky & Slivkova, 2018).…”

Modern society is characterized by the increasing interdependence between the actors of the international environment, in the conditions of globalization of all the fields of social life. Increasing interdependencies, together with the emergence of new risks and threats, which attempt to exploit systemic vulnerabilities, which are increasingly numerous and difficult to eliminate, bring a new issue to states and other security environment actors: to ensure the protection the infrastructure elements that are indispensable to the normal activity of the population, economic agents, nongovernmental organizations and state institutions. Critical Infrastructure Protection becomes an important point on the agenda of all decision-makers who are in a position to counter the asymmetric threats that jeopardize national interests and democratic values. Due to the multiplication of risks and threats and the multiplication of interdependencies between the various infrastructure elements, the protection of critical infrastructures can not be achieved effectively only by ensuring their physical protection. The cascading effects of a disturbance can be felt at the level of society as a whole, and it is therefore necessary to address the issue of ensuring the protection of critical infrastructures in a comprehensive manner including infrastructure and community resilience issues.

“…The higher the element resilience level, the higher this limit is (Rehak et al 2019). This means that the element is able to withstand a higher impact of a given threat, up to the level of the corresponding relevant indication parameter (Rehak et al 2018a). For example, an element with an acceptable level of resilience (i.e., 69-84%) is able to withstand the effects of a violent storm (i.e., 61-80%).…”

Managerial decision making is an integral process used in public and private organizations. Critical infrastructure entities are a strategically significant group dependent on the quality of decision-making processes. They aim to provide services necessary to ensure state security and to satisfy basic human needs. The quality of decision making is an important factor in the management of these entities. The quality level is determined by many factors, the key of which is risk management. For this reason, it is necessary for the operators to minimize risks affecting the elements of the critical infrastructure through which these services are provided. Risk management is commonly used for this purpose, making it possible to assess and manage these risks. However, there is a specific group of threats that affects the resilience of these elements. The indication of these threats is not possible through common risk management. Therefore, it is necessary to develop specific scenarios of negative impacts and procedures for assessing their impact on the resilience of elements of the critical infrastructure. To this end, this conceptual article introduces an entirely new managerial decision-making process for indicating the resilience of critical infrastructure elements.

“…Against this background, the article introduces the railway infrastructure criticality assessment tool (RICA tool), which was developed to assess the integrity of critical infrastructure elements. The purpose of this assessment tool is to identify the critical railway infrastructure elements in a given territory for which measures can be subsequently established to ensure the preparedness or enhancement of resilience of designated elements (e.g., Rehak et al, 2018;Stoller et al, 2018;Klein and Hutter, 2017;Hromada and Lukas, 2012;Dvorak et al, 2013).…”

In the last ten years, considerable attention has been paid to analysing and assessing the criticality of railway infrastructure elements. Publications on the subject mostly assess elements only from a certain point of view, such as purpose, reliability or risk. This leads to only a partial assessment of criticality without continuous correlation, which may result some critical elements of the system being omitted. The article introduces the railway infrastructure criticality assessment tool (RICA tool), which was created to evaluate the criticality of railway infrastructure elements in all aspects. The integral approach of the tool lies in comprehensively assessing the technical and process factors of rail transport. The criticality of railway infrastructure elements is therefore assessed not only in terms of the relevance and resilience of elements but also their interdependence, substitutability, risk and impact.
