An IDS (Intrusion-Detection Systems) is a combination of integrated electronic components, including sensors, control units, transmission lines, and monitoring units, that detect one or more types of intrusion into an area protected by the IDS. An IDS includes both interior and exterior systems, and may also include electronic entry control devices and CCTV for alarm assessment. |

Blast damages are classified as either direct (those that occur in the explosion) or indirect (those that occur as a subsequent consequence of direct damage). |

Floor slabs are typically designed to carry gravity loads. Sometimes the slabs are designed as diaphragms and are part of the lateral support system. |

Pre-stressed concrete is similar to reinforced concrete, except that the steel reinforcement is usually wire cables that are pre-tensioned before the members are loaded. |

Fenestration is the design and arrangement of windows and other glass features on a building, including glass façade panels and openings. The location and construction of windows will likely vary, based on the location and contents of a building. |

Transit stops are facilities where riders board and alight from buses or light rail transit vehicles. These sites range from a simple signpost in the sidewalk indicating where a vehicle stops, to an elaborate transit plaza with sheltered waiting areas serving multiple bus routes or light rail lines. |
|
|
True |
|
|
False |
| 12. |
Tunnel access points may include portals, where transit vehicles enter and exit the tunnel, usually at the point where the right-of-way submerges below grade. |
|
|
True |
|
|
False |
| 13. |
Signaling equipment is a system of visual indicators along the right-of-way informing vehicle operators of transit system conditions when to stop, slow down, or proceed at full speed. |
|
|
True |

|
False |
| 14. |
There are at least three points in the life of a transit vehicle when new technology can be incorporated into the vehicle to help improve security: |
|
|
New vehicle purchase |
|
|
Major overhaul |
|
|
Minor overhaul |
|
|
All the above |
|
|
None of the above |

An automatic vehicle locator (AVL) system allows the OCC to remotely track and monitor the position of a vehicle. AVLs are more relevant for buses than rail transit systems. In addition to security considerations, AVLs can improve a transit agency’s operational capabilities. When linked with a GPS system, a transit agency can track vehicle on-time performance in real time and make on-board stop and location announcements, as required by ADA. |
|
|
True |
|
|
False |
| 16. |
To prevent the operation of a vehicle by an unauthorized person, installation of a key system or a smart card system can reduce the threat of vehicle theft. The smart card system could also provide a higher level of security by integrating the ability to start and operate a vehicle into a transit agency’s credentialing program for its employees. |

|
False |
