This comprehensive book delves into the realm of critical infrastructure safety analysis, employing reliability modelling to assess the vulnerability of multistate ageing systems. It sheds light on how operational changes and climate-weather fluctuations in the operating environment of these critical assets impact their safety parameters. Building upon previous research, the book presents an integrated modelling approach that combines a multistate critical infrastructure safety model with semi-Markov models for the operation process and climate-weather change process. This approach proves effective in determining essential safety, risk, and resilience indicators, regardless of the number of assets and their safety states.

In addition to the theoretical framework, the book showcases a successful application of these mathematical methods to the safety analysis of a real-world critical infrastructure, such as a port oil terminal. By comprehensively reviewing cutting-edge mathematical techniques for safety identification, prediction, and evaluation of critical infrastructures, this book demonstrates their practical utility in analysing the safety of these systems under time-varying operational and climate-weather change processes.

Overall, this book offers a timely and comprehensive review of state-of-the-art mathematical methods for safety identification, prediction, and evaluation of critical infrastructures. It serves as a valuable resource for professionals, researchers, and policymakers seeking to enhance the resilience and security of these vital systems in the face of evolving challenges.
