The Ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable (MTMD), faced with the urgency of climate change, adopted an Action Plan for Infrastructure Management in the context of climate change (APIM3C) in order to enhance the resilience of its transportation networks in the face of coastal and river hazards. This plan aims to improve governance and management practices, develop expertise and knowledge [...]

The BC Ministry of Transportation and Transit (MoTT) has prioritized climate-resilient infrastructure for over 16 years, using the Public Infrastructure Engineering Vulnerability Committee (PIEVC) climate risk assessment protocol developed with Engineers Canada. Between 2010-2014, PIEVC was applied to five major highway corridors, identifying 14 high-risk infrastructure categories, primarily at risk [...]

In light of climate change and the associated extreme weather conditions, the Bavarian State Ministry of Housing, Building and Transport (StMB) focuses on protecting roads from gravitational mass movements and on minimizing associated road closures. Approximately 500 km of federal and state roads (in total: 23.000 km) are potentially affected by geohazards, not only in the Bavarian Alps but especially [...]

Road and airport infrastructures are vulnerable to the effects of climate change, such as rising sea levels, more frequent and intense storms, prolonged periods of drought and extreme precipitation, heat waves, etc. The aim of this study is to identify the most effective ways of adapting to climate change. The aim of the study is to improve transport stakeholders' plans to maintain the resilience [...]

In September 2023, the Directorate of Road Mobilities (DMR) launched the operational phase of a strategic study of the vulnerability of the national road network (RRN), which concerns the 21,073 km of the RRN, including 11,629 km of motorways (9,256 under concession) and 9,444 km of RN, including 547 km overseas. The aim of this study, which is due to be completed in autumn 2025, is to assess [...]

India is among the world's most climate-vulnerable countries, and this reality has shaped its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets under the 2015 Paris Agreement. While mitigation efforts primarily focus on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and developing low-carbon alternatives, the impacts of climate hazards will persist even if India meets its net-zero emissions target [...]

As more frequent and intense extreme weather events impact across the world, the importance of understanding our highway networks as a principal ‘lifeline’ infrastructure becomes more obvious. Lifelines such as water and gas pipes and electricity and fibre cabling have been described as our communities’ integrated network of assets, services, and capabilities. Importantly, however, whilst our [...]

Creating resilient infrastructure is crucial for society, especially with the increasing risks from climate change and climate-induced hazards. Investments to enhance resilience must be wisely allocated to maximize benefits for transport users and society. However, many communities rely on qualitative information for decision-making regarding infrastructure investments, which is insufficient for understanding [...]

This paper presents the methodology developed to improve the prioritisation process and determine the appropriate type of Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA) suitable for road assets within the Irish national road network. A decision tree to help filter numerous potential asset-hazard pairings was developed through the implementation of the Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) climate adaptation [...]

Over 96% of the population in Haiti is exposed to earthquakes and climate change (mainly hurricanes and floods), making it the most vulnerable country in Latin America and the Caribbean to such events. Climate change is expected to increase the frequency, intensity and impact of extreme weather events, and Haiti, although it has made some progress, still lacks adequate preparedness and resilience-building [...]

The integrity of road infrastructures is increasingly threatened by the intensification of extreme events related to climate change. Heavy rainfall, floods, drought, fires increasingly threaten the stability of the terrain, potentially leading to landslides and erosion that can have catastrophic effects on infrastructures. The likelihood of these events has an impact on the planning, design and construction [...]

Many road authorities have recognized for a long time that climate change will have a significant effect on their assets and operations, as well as on the services that the road network provides for society. Consequently, significant progress has been achieved by research conducted in the past decade. Several climate change adaptation frameworks have been developed. Conducting a resilience assessment [...]

Uncertainty and volatility are the new normal facing transportation condition, and it becomes a global consensus to improve transportation resilience in uncertain times. In order to construct a resilient transportation system that adapts to the situation in Gansu Province, based on the definition of resilience and the analysis of the entire process, this paper analyzes that resilient transportation [...]

In this paper, a case studies conducted in Japan is explained in terms of route selection and temporary evacuation site development to improve the resilience of road networks to tsunami disasters. In Japan, which is prone to earthquakes, damage to roads caused by tsunamis has been particularly noticeable in recent years. During the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 and the Noto Peninsula Earthquake [...]

Road infrastructures are increasingly exposed to natural hazards, particularly rockfalls, whose frequency and intensity are exacerbated by climate change. To ensure the resilience of the road network, it is essential to have decision-support tools that can identify and prioritize the most vulnerable areas. In this context, the Aude Departmental Council (CD11) and Cerema have developed an innovative [...]

The cutting of the A75 (motorway linking Clermont-Ferrand to Montpellier and Béziers) in September 2015 south of the commune of Lodève (FRANCE) was caused by the sudden rupture of an highway's embankment at the level of a metal culvert for hydraulic restoration. This mess was caused by a localized and intense Mediterranean rainy event (cumulations estimated around 300 mm in 3 hours). This major [...]

Te Ara Tupua (The Ancient Pathway) is a pivotal project in New Zealand, designed to deliver walking and cycling improvements, whilst enhancing the resilience of road and rail networks. This 12-kilometre-long path along a constrained coastal route between Lower Hutt and central Wellington aims to provide a safe and efficient route and improving overall connectivity. The project addresses the growing [...]

Between 2007-2016 recovering from extreme weather events cost Victoria, Australia an average of $2.7AUD billion a year. Victoria will continue to be impacted by frequent and intense weather, putting infrastructure at risk. Without early action to better protect infrastructure, it will fail more often, harming and costing people and businesses. Infrastructure Victoria has completed a project to assess [...]
