Abstract

In recent years, there have been frequent terrorist attacks on urban rail transit systems around the world, which have exposed loopholes in such measures as security inspection and prevention. The urban rail transit system is easily targeted due to its relative openness, unthoroughness of security inspection and seriousness of the damage consequences. It is also a risk zone of non-traditional security and a perfect place for terrorists to create indiscriminate killing cases. Based on field research and combining with the practical problems of rail transit at home and abroad, this paper analyzes the terrorist risks such as in urban rail transit platforms, surrounding areas and stations, and puts forward the mechanism construction and security technology prevention system of perfecting the urban rail transit operation department and related early warning countermeasures. At the same time, by exploring ways to prevent and control terrorist attacks, and improving the sensitivity and effectiveness of prevention and control, this study has certain reference significance for guiding China in the fight against terrorism in cities.
