From Research to Operations: Empowering a Climate-Resilient Transport System in Germany - Illustrating the Function and Interaction Between the Federal Research Program BMDV Network of Experts, and the DAS Core Service 'Climate and Water'
Abstract:In the recent years, numerous extreme weather events caused significant disruptions and constraints of the transport along federal roads, railways, and waterways. The climate impacts range from extreme high or low water levels, windthrow events, storm surges, mass movements to embankment fires.
