Resilient Transportation Systems: Strategies for Mitigating Climate Change Impacts and Enhancing Infrastructure Stability

The transportation sector plays a crucial role in both contributing to climate change and facing its impacts. As extreme weather events become more frequent and severe, transportation infrastructure is increasingly vulnerable to disruptions, posing significant challenges to mobility, safety, and economic stability. strategies for building resilient transportation systems capable of mitigating climate change impacts and enhancing infrastructure stability. Drawing on interdisciplinary research and real-world case studies, this paper explores a range of resilience-enhancing measures applicable to various modes of transportation, including roads, bridges, railways, ports, and airports. These measures encompass both physical infrastructure improvements and operational strategies aimed at reducing vulnerability, enhancing adaptability, and ensuring continuity of service in the face of climate-related hazards.
