The aim of this Collection is to publish original technical and research papers from EC-funded projects focused on innovative methodologies and approaches to improve resilience of transport infrastructures at their different dimensions including resistance, reliability, redundancy, and response & recovery.
Topics for this collection includes, but are not limited to:
- Strategies, methods, tools, and services contributing to increase the resilience of transport infrastructure
- Technologies and methods for a more efficient monitoring of infrastructure assets, including large-scale monitoring using remote sensing, contact sensors, connected vehicles, social media, infrastructure information modeling, etc.
- Structural health monitoring of infrastructure facilities and condition evaluation by using innovative methods
- Risk-based assessment methods and tools for transport infrastructure management at both network and asset level
- Mapping and assessment of infrastructure exposure to extreme weather conditions to anticipate to the malfunctioning of terrestrial transport networks
- Methodologies to assess the impact of extreme events in transport infrastructure.
- Development of predictive models for projecting risks of future infrastructure damage, shutdown, and deterioration
- Resilience-driven decision support systems
- Performance-based design of infrastructures considering actual and prospective loading conditions, deterioration processes and circularity principles
- Studies identifying adaptation needs for existing infrastructure and new construction systems required for actual and future loading conditions (especially considering future meteorological conditions).
