ForeseeEstrategias de futuro para la resiliencia en las redes de transporte frente a eventos extremos

Abstract

FORESEE was one of four H2020 collaborative projects on resilient infrastructures recently funded by the European Commission according to the EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change. In a global sense, FORESEE provides cost effective and reliable tools to improve the resilience of transport infrastructure . Namely, it aims to reduce the magnitude and/or duration of disruptive events (natural and anthropogenic hazards), such as earthquakes, floods, fire or landslides. Through new innovative technologies, methodologies and resilient schemes, FORESEE addresses the effectiveness of measures aiming to improve the ability to anticipate, absorb, adapt to and/or rapidly recover from a disruptive event, mainly in road and rail infrastructure and transport hubs. FORESEE proposes a harmonised resilience assessment methodology and an integrated Toolkit able to reduce the consequences with a systemic perspective. This consists of: a) the update of the best available methodologies from a performance-based approach; b) a situational awareness system based on best available data acquisition system; c) innovative technologies such as permeable pavements, slope stabilisation systems, innovative drainage and design of innovation engineering of links/interconnections base don re-routing strategies, and d) guidelines for the adaptation.
