Abstract
The effects of climate change regularly impact the performance of transport networks. In the case of road transport, climate change has various impact drivers such as heat, cold, wind, snow, ice etc. which hamper safe and reliable operation. Due to the interdependent nature of critical infrastructures (CI), resilience assessment requires a whole stakeholder approach which engages not only transport operators, but also the various other infrastructures within a geographical area. This paper initially outlines the ICARUS project which aims to deliver a common approach for National Road Authorities (NRAs) in addressing the resilience of road infrastructure to Climate Change. Results of the PRECINCT project are presented subsequently, where the influence of other infrastructure systems on transport was investigated. There is a clear link between how resilience is currently addressed within one transport sector and across various interconnected CIs. The results of the paper show the importance of effective stakeholder engagement across the value chain of Critical Infrastructure.
