“…Urban transit infrastructure is increasingly put under pressure by the impact of climate change [1]. In general, there are two types of strains: Continuous, slowly increasing stress, which creates more and more small disturbances, and extreme events that lead to larger outages.…”

With increasing pressure from the impact of climate change, urban transit operators aim to improve their networks' resilience against both small disturbances and larger disruptions and outages. To be applicable in pre-planning or emergency response, such measures and strategies have to be thoroughly evaluated. To aid this evaluation process, this paper presents different operational strategies -and their systematic evaluation using a bi-modal transit simulation model -designed to increase the resilience of urban transit networks against the impact of climate change. To illustrate the application of such a system, the paper examines the strategies, including both delay management and disruption management measures based on a simulation model of the urban transit network of the city of Cologne, Germany.

“…Climate change increasingly impacts all areas of human existence, including such diverse fields as urban infrastructure systems and housing [1], century-old cultural heritage assets [2][3], medicine and human health [4], and agriculture [5]. With the range and velocity of climate change increasing, it becomes even more important that the general public understands its impacts and potential remedies.…”

As climate change increasingly impacts natural systems and living conditions all over the world, it becomes even more important that members of the public understand the probable course of climate change, its impact on world-wide and local ecology and living conditions, and the extent to which mitigation measures can alleviate that impact. Researchers can contribute to this by developing simulation models of the course and impacts of climate change, and make them available to the general public, packaged with a user-friendly interface and progressively detailed information. This paper introduces MyWorld, a simulation-based game that enables the player to experience the course and impact of climate change and to experiment with potential mitigation measures. The freely available game aims at facilitating a better understanding of the probable progression of climate change and its impact on living conditions in the world in general and specific countries in detail.
