Resumen
The paper conceptualises the resilience engineering of the urban transport system (UTS) using the example of the Athens metro. Resilience management guidelines for the UTS have been developed, whereas Athens metro pilots validate the former. The pilots are concerned with the metro attack risk and its consequences. The risk scenarios consider the static and the dynamic resilience of the UTS system with respect to metro threats. The identified actions have measurable impacts improving the UTS resilience in Athens.
