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

A resilient transport network is accounting for technology, infrastructure and climate changes. The Futurenet research project, led by the University of Birmingham, aims at providing tools for assessment and planning of resilient transport systems.

Road Owners Getting to Grips with Climate Change

Technical, transport, climate change

The research program aims at providing road authorities all across Europe with knowledge and tools to oppose climate change. In road management, design rules have to be adapted, data collection must be updated and risk management methods are to be developed.
