This session will explore how transport system and infrastructure resilience can be enhanced through insights from international case studies spanning maritime transport, civil aviation, urban transport and rural transport.
The following researchers were selected through an international competition to present their work:
• Aseem Kinra (Heriot-Watt University) - RELIQ: an action-research case on developing Physical Infrastructure Operations Resilience Capabilities in Critical Lifeline Transportation Operations
• Fabian Steinmann (Cranfield University) - Strengthening aviation resilience by better managing mass diversion events
• Otar Nemsadze (Rupprecht Consult) - Strengthening Earthquake Resilience in Urban Mobility: Case of Istanbul
• Robert Marty (The World Bank) - Transport Networks and Urban Resilience to Floods: Evidence from the 2022 Pakistan Floods
• Brooke Segerberg (Fika) - Advancing Rural Transport Resilience Through a Networked Infrastructure Approach
The session will include a question-and-answer discussion, with audience participation encouraged.
Keir Fitch - Deputy Head of Cabinet (Transport) at the European Commission, will moderate the session.
Spotlight on Research sessions are organised jointly between the International Transport Forum (ITF), the US Transportation Research Board (TRB), the European Commission (EC), the European Conference of Transport Research Institutes (ECTRI), and the World Conference on Transport Research Society (WCTRS).
