Spatial-situational approach to airport transport security management

The trend in the development of systems for ensuring and managing aviation security of transport facilities in recent years has acquired the character of a transition from classical regulatory management schemes to automated control schemes using procedures based on the theory of optimal control. A number of factors can be identified that reduce the effectiveness of security management in the current system: problems related to time, post-factum processing of situational events, non-systemic collection and processing of information, the problem of hypothetical and potential security threats, the problem of security integrality and security systems integrality, the problem of indivisibility of security and the problem of vulnerability of transport infrastructure and, finally, the problems of forecasting the development of negative events. All this implies a transition to information security management, which is based on a spatial-situational approach. The paper substantiates the emergence of threat space, protection space and security space and shows the possibilities of using these spaces to solve the problems of formalization of security management procedures in the modeling process.
