Incorporating Resilience Into Transportation Networks
Transportation agencies have been presented with increased disruptions to supply chains and other transportation networks caused by naturally occurring and other unanticipated events, such as extreme weather events and the COVID-19 pandemic. These disruptions can substantially affect the resilience of the supply chain against unanticipated disruptions and ultimately affect the economic vitality of the industries and communities involved. NCHRP Research Report 1118: Incorporating Resilience into Transportation Networks, from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program, provides a guide for state departments of transportation and other transportation agencies seeking to define and strategically integrate resilience into transportation networks and network planning.
