About LPS

The DIMACS-CAIT Laboratory for Port Security (LPS) was established in 2006 to coordinate, foster and carry out collaborative research on marine/land port security, as well as the security of approach roads, including bridges and tunnels, and the coastal waters that surround them. LPS addresses key issues relevant to marine/land port and bridge/tunnel security operations, coastal interdiction, preparedness and recovery from high-consequence events at ports and the surrounding transportation infrastructure; the LPS research scope also includes analysis of technological approaches, as well as modeling and evaluation of field operations.
