IP0242 - Risk Management for a disaster with “Road-On Map” (.pdf - 118Ko)

Japan has high risk of natural disaster. In these days, the government is required to take measures some drastic and comprehensive disaster preventions to save people’s lives and livings as a huge disaster has happened due to the climate change. A road is an important infrastructure which supports government’s emergency response in a disaster, people’s evacuation and a living after disaster. [...]

IP0300 - Building community resilience in disaster management (.pdf - 195Ko)

Resilient communities play a vital role in disaster management. However, there are several definitions and opinions in the scientific literature and among the practitioners on what actually constitutes, ‘resilience’, ‘community’ and ‘community resilience’. This paper proposes a practical methodology on how to build consensus on these terms in the context of disaster management preparedness. [...]

IP0228 - MANAGEMENT OF A CONCESSION CONTRACT UNDER THE SHADOW TOLL MODALITY DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC (.pdf - 102Ko)

Autovía de los Llanos, S.A. is the concessionaire company awarded a public roadworks concession contract under the modality of “shadow toll” in a stretch of a highway of almost 100 km long in Spain.

However, these difficulties have always [...]

IP0012 - Building competencies into highway sector emergency management: A study of the UK’s approach to embedding interoperability principles and ‘lifeline’ Rapid Impact Assessment (RIA) into practice (.pdf - 62Ko)

This paper discusses the development of a unique Rapid Impact Assessment (RIA) methodology and the associated work to empower Highway Managers and frontline teams with new systems and competencies to assess and stabilise incidents. Since 2013 the effects of three storm events alone have resulted in £633 million (CA$1Bn) damage to England’s highway network. In parallel, lesser storms and other [...]

IP0125 - Upgrade to the redundant traffic management system having high resilience of the traffic management functions against large-scale disaster (.pdf - 1.3Mo)

Hanshin Expressway is an urban expressway network covering Osaka and Kobe Metropolitan area. The network length is 258.1km and covers 15.3% of total vehicle-travel mileage in this area. The more online shopping market grows, the more important the role of logistics plays. In particular, road truck transport has the biggest share to the Japanese domestic logistics. Therefore, we always have to sustain [...]

IP0321 - INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEM RESILIENCE AND LANDSCAPE DYNAMICS IN THE 2016 SEISMIC EVENTS OF CENTRAL ITALY (.pdf - 2.0Mo)

Between August 2016 and January 2017, a series of 4 seismic events, magnitude higher than 6, affected a large area of central Italy, about 7500 square kilometers including 10 provinces and over 140 municipalities.
