1.4 Planning the Resilience of Road Networks - Climate Change and other Hazards

A road organisation is responsible for ensuring that the infrastructure provides service, and monitors the performance of the service being provided and restores the infrastructure damaged during extreme events. The growing challenge of climatic as well as non-climatic natural hazards demands evolution of road organisations with appropriate resilience frameworks, both institutional and situational, to achieve the LoS expectation with acceptable deviations.
Technical Committee 1.4 "Planning the Resilience of Road Networks - Climate change and other hazards" in the 2024-2027 cycle focuses on Strategic, tactical, and applied planning aspects of enhancing resilience, such as methodologies and approaches for resilient network planning and road infrastructure designs, which reduce risk, are better prepared, more robust, and are able to respond and recover other hazard events.
