This session will explore how different analytical approaches can help policymakers make evidence-based decisions on the funding and prioritisation of investments in resilient transport systems.
The following researchers were selected through an international competition to present their work:
• Stuart Samberg (RK&K, LLP) - Incorporating Resilient Cost-Benefit Analysis into the Highway Design Process: A Framework for the United States
• Michele Gesualdi (International Union of Railways) - Funding resilient High-Speed Rail
• Beatriz Martinez Pastor (University College Dublin) - Operationalising Transport Resilience: A Capability-Based Framework for Strategic Prioritisation of Infrastructure Protection
• Kalliopi Anastassiadou (German Federal Highway and Transport Research Institute) - Decision Support Tool for Resilience Assessment of Transport Infrastructure: Enabling Better Funding Decisions for physical infrastructure resilience
• Kay Axhausen (ETH Zürich) - The contribution of an ebikecity to resilient urban networks
The session will include a question-and-answer discussion, with audience participation encouraged.
Arjen 't Hoen - Deputy director and core theme manager at the KiM Netherlands Institute for Transport Policy Analysis, 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).
