Research Projects: Resilience in Transport Sector
The table below provides highlight of the research work undertaken in field of resilience within transport sector.
| Title | Thematic area / keywords | Description | Links |
|---|---|---|---|
| Futurenet - Future resilient transport networks | Infrastructure, Climate Change |
FUTURENET aims at describing the U-transport system in 2050, physically and in demand terms, and the transport network in 2050 the most resiliant to climate change. To achieve resilience, the following objectives have to be targeted: weather models with meteorological and climatic trigger, generic methods applicable to other transport corridors and dissemination of results amongst stakeholders, policy makers and practitioners. |

State of the art of likely effect of climate change on current roads, ENR SRO3 report, October 2009 |
Technical, road maintenance, climate change |
This report shows how the predicted climate changes will affect highways negatively. If temperatures rise and precipitation increases, present design theory and construction techniques will have to be amended to accommodate for differences in climate. |
