This session will explore how digital technologies can enhance the resilience of different transport systems including ports, freight transport, road safety and vehicle electrification.
The following researchers were selected through an international competition to present their work:
• Maria Boile (University of Piraeus) - Enhancing the security of port infrastructure through the use of advanced digital surveillance tools: The SMAUG Project and its pilot implementation in the Port of Elefsina
• Özay Özaydin (Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa) - Navigating Mobility Disruptions: A Multidimensional Framework for Enhancing Digital Infrastructure Resilience in Freight Transport
• Cong Son Duong (Gustave Eiffel University) - Cyber-Resilience Electric Vehicle Charging Station: AI-Driven Framework for Cyberattack Detection and Policy Support
• Aliza Reif (German Aerospace Center (DLR) Institute for AI Safety and Security) - Extreme Weather and AI Perception Failures: Implications for Resilient Digital Transport Infrastructure
• Neha Arora (Google) - Validating Hard-Braking Events as High-Density Indicators for Resilient Road Safety Policy
The session will include a question-and-answer discussion, with audience participation encouraged.
Alasdair Cain - Director of Research, Development and Technology Coordination at the US Department of Transportation, 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).
