Abstract

Telecommunications networks form critical infrastructure, since accidents in these networks can severely impact the functioning of society. Structured accident analysis methods can help draw lessons from accidents, giving valuable information to improve the resilience of telecommunications networks. In this paper, we introduce a method (TRAM) for accident analysis in the Telecommunication domain by improving AcciMap, which is a popular method for analyzing accidents. The improvements have made AcciMap more efficient and instructive by explicitly identifying ICT aspects of the accidents, extending the method to support the evaluation of crisis organizations and introducing additional notation for feedback loops. This resulted in TRAM, a method with a 25% improved efficiency over AcciMap, while also addressing ICT aspects, leading to concrete actionable results that can help telecommunication organizations grow more resilient.
