Safety and Resilience of Global Baltic Network of Critical Infrastructure Networks Related to Cascading Effects

The main aim of the paper is analysis of safety of the Global Baltic Network of Critical Infrastructure Networks (GBNCIN), taking into account interactions among particular critical infrastructure networks this network consists of. The safety function and other safety characteristics: the risk function and mean values and the standard deviations of the lifetimes in the safety state subsets are determined assuming the particular critical infrastructure networks have exponential safety functions. Finally, the coefficients of cascading effect impact on the intensities of degradation of the GBNCIN, and the indicator of that network resilience to cascading effect impact, are presented.
