Abstract

In the presented paper, authors focus on the issues connected with passenger transportation system vulnerability assessment. Following this, in the article the authors investigate the problem of information needs that make possible a full risk analysis performance for municipal transport system. Thus, there is presented a short literature review connected with assessment methods used in the analysed research area. There are also defined the main definitions. This gives the possibility to define the main information system that meets of vulnerability performance. There is also given an analysis aimed at investigation of potential use of vulnerability analysis results by public transport stakeholders. Article ends with some conclusions and directions for future research.
