Quantitative Risk Analysis of GPS as a Critical Infrastructure for Civilian Transportation Applications

Brian B. Mahoney and Yacov Y. Haimes

Abstract:	This paper provides a methodological framework for the assessment and management of risks to civil transportation users of the Global Positioning System (GPS). Hierarchical holographic modeling is used to identify the risks associated with GPS. Possible risk mitigations and procedures are also described, along with tradeoffs for each policy option. Lastly, an integrative framework for assessing the tradeoffs among cost, benefit, and risk is proposed for Department of Transportation (DOT) officials. This paper summarizes Mr. Mahoney’s thesis research while at the University of Virginia [1].
