THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES

Advisers to the Nation on Science, Engineering, and Medicine


The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. On the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts is president of the National Academy of Sciences.


The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. William A. Wulf is president of the National Academy of Engineering.


The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, on its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Harvey V. Fineberg is president of the Institute of Medicine.


The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy’s purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Council is administered jointly by both the Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts and Dr. William A. Wulf are chair and vice chair, respectively, of the National Research Council.


The Transportation Research Board is a division of the National Research Council, which serves the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering. The Board’s mission is to promote innovation and progress in transportation through research. In an objective and interdisciplinary setting, the Board facilitates the sharing of information on transportation practice and policy by researchers and practitioners; stimulates research and offers research management services that promote technical excellence; provides expert advice on transportation policy and programs; and disseminates research results broadly and encourages their implementation. The Board’s varied activities annually engage more than 4,000 engineers, scientists, and other transportation researchers and practitioners from the public and private sectors and academia, all of whom contribute their expertise in the public interest. The program is supported by state transportation departments, federal agencies including the component administrations of the U.S. Department of Transportation, and other organizations and individuals interested in the development of transportation. www.TRB.org

PREFACE

The merger of information system technology and transportation infrastructure is transforming the freight transportation industry in a variety of ways. These changes are producing new ways to organize companies’ supply chains as well as military logistics. As the new freight information systems become more fully integrated, they are expected to have great private and public benefits.

These systems, however, may be vulnerable to cyberattack. In accordance with the national initiative to increase security of critical infrastructure, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) requested that the National Research Council (NRC) review trends in the use of information technology in the freight transportation industry and assess potential vulnerabilities to a cyberattack. In response, NRC formed the Committee on Freight Transportation Information Systems Security, under the Transportation Research Board (TRB) and the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board, to conduct a scoping study to develop an approach, study, or other process that DOT could use to address the vulnerabilities of freight information systems.

Specifically, the committee was charged with recommending how to conduct a study that would result in

  1. A baseline description of the U.S. freight transportation communication and information systems, including interconnectivity with international carriers, government entities (U.S. and non-U.S.), customers, and other business partners;

  2. A summary of ongoing and emerging efforts in such areas as electronic data interchange, telecommunications and data transfer, trends in the use of the Internet, business practices, customs, immigration and agriculture clearance processes, electronic letters of credit, integrated logistics software, positive train control, intelligent transportation systems, and all other information-and communication-based processes and technology improvements that affect transportation, shipping, and logistics;

  3. A review of current industry practices addressing security (with emphasis on information technology–related dimensions); and

  1. An identification and summary of the potential vulnerabilities that may be created by the interconnection/interface and possible integration of these new systems.

One of the complexities of a project such as this is that developers and operators of the relevant system will be reluctant to discuss or admit to specific security weaknesses publicly. Thus the committee had to recommend a process that would permit the problems to be identified and addressed.

The committee held its first meeting on November 25–26, 2002. The project, from committee formation to final report, took 7 months. During that time the committee met twice at NRC headquarters in Washington, D.C. In addition, its members and staff held numerous telephone conferences to discuss their findings.

After the start of the study, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which incorporates many of the relevant functions formerly performed by DOT, was created. Hence the committee directs many of its recommendations andcomments to DHS as well as to DOT.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
