  1. Enhancing the Resilience of Road Passenger and Freight Flows against Natural Disasters – Good Practices and the Need for RTD

  2. Agenda (morning) • 9:00 Welcome and Registration • 09:45 Introduction: Starting point and Aims of the Workshop • Introduction to the MOWE-IT project (Marko Nokkala, VTT) • Meteorology and Vulnerabilities(Stefan Kral, FMI & Claus Doll, Fraunhofer) • Key note: State of transport climate adaptation actions in EEA countries, recent experience (Natalia Sobrino, UPM) • Introduction to the World Cafe method (Maike Jacobsen, MA&T • 10:35 Coffee Break • 10:50 Session 1: Road Management and Weather Information Systems • Key note: Roads for today, adapted for tomorrow (Thomas Bles, Deltares) • Brief overview of the input paper, Section 3 (Ilka Juga, FMI) • World Cafe 1: separation into working groups (Maike Jacobsen MA&T) • Reporting totheaudience (5 min. per Table) • 12:15 Lunch Break

  3. Agenda (afternoon) • 13:00 Session 2: Individual Travel and Passenger Services • Key note: Risk based management of natural hazards on Swiss national roads(LuukDorren, BAFU) • Input note Session 2 (Claus Doll), World Cafe with Reporting • 14:25 Coffee Break • 14:40 Session 3: Road Freight Transport and Logistics • Key note: Relief Logistics during 2011 Thailand Floods: The real situation & lessons learned (Sathaporn Opasanon, Thammasat UniversityI) • Input Note Session 3 (Francesca Pietroni), World Cafe with Reporting • 16:00 Session 4: RTD Pathway towards more Resilient Road Services (ISI) • Wrap-up of previous findings • Short interventions: current state of research in the USA, Australia and Thailand (P. Murrey-Tuitee, M. Venner, P. Chhetri and S. Opasanon • Final remarks from participants on open questions • 16:45 Close of Meeting

  4. Objectives of the Workshop • Within a one day workshop we would like to share the insights gained by the MOWE-IT project on • good solutions as well as on the • needs for further research and technical development • to keep the European road sector competitive even under adverse environmental conditions. • I • In our focus are technical and managerial solutions within the road sector and its inter-linkage to rail, air and shipping in urban and long-distance travel.

  5. ExpetedResults • We would like to take home the following results: • Answers to our questions • Indications which questions are wrong or irrelevant • Hints towards additional issues in the area • The results of this workshop will go into two reports to the European Commission. • The Policy Guidebook identifies good practices to increase the resilience of road transport services in our key areas: infrastructure availability, passenger services and logistics. • The RTD roadmap builds on the identified knowledge gaps and proposes a research strategy to close them, which might be taken up by the EC’s Horizon2020 programme.

  6. Meteorology and Vulnerability • Stefan Kral, FMI and Claus Doll, Fraunhofer

  7. Quantification of severe weather events for current and future climate Identification of climate regions: Northern European (sub-arctic); Oceanic (maritime); Mediterranean; Temperate central European; Temperate eastern European and Alpine region Analyses in EWENT for: Heat waves Cold spells Wind Heavy precipitation Snow Blizzard Ice due to freezing precipitation Poor visibility Thunderstorms Events damaging infrastructure (latter five have not been analysed as detailed as the first six)

  8. Severeweatherevents– Examplesfrom EWENT • Coldwaves: Frequency in days/year (T < -7°C) Current climate (1971–2000) Changes in days/year (T < -7°C) Future (2041–2070) - current climate

  9. Severeweatherevents– Examplesfrom EWENT • Heavy precipitation: Frequency in days/year (Prec> 30mm/day) Current climate (1971–2000) Changes in days/year (Prec > 30mm/day) Future (2041–2070) - current climate

  10. Total costs of Extremes in Europe: • 2 bn. € p.a. withnarrowdefinition of extremes • > 20 bn. € p.a. withbroaddefinition • Total costsincreasebyaround 80% to 2050. • Excludngtrafficgrowth: averagecostsstable. • Most relevant: floods and winterconditions

  11. Session 1: Road Management and weather information systems • MOWE-IT Workshop Resilient Road Transport” • 18. September 2013, Brussels

  12. Questionstobediscussed • A: ROAD WEATHER INFORMATION SERVICRES • Communication of weather warnings to road authorities • Sufficiency of present weather information systems • Information sharing between countries • B: INCIDENT MANAGEMENT • Parties to be involved • Preparedness of road management centres • Weather Impacts on road management • C: FUTURE CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES • Co-operation between authorities • New vehicle technologies • Relation to other challenges in road management

  13. Session 2: Individual Car Travel and Road Passenger Services • MOWE-IT Workshop Resilient Road Transport” • 18. September 2013, Brussels

  14. Structure of the road passenger market and main vulnerabilities • Composition of road passenger transport: • Individual car travel including taxi services • Non-motorised travel: walking and cycling in urban areas • Urban and inter-urban bus and coach services by private and public entities • Reaction patterns of road transport participants: • Pre-trip decisions: How do people and companies receive weather and traffic warnings and how do these influence travel decisions? • Delays and congestion: how do people and operators react when natural hazards delay or interrupt trips? • Traffic safety: what are most striking safety implications and how can technology and regulation help mitigating them?

  15. Structure of the road passenger market and main vulnerabilities (2)

  16. Case Studies • Bus emergency transport in Munich: Implement contingency plans • Winter 2009 impacts on London public transport: Implement contingency plans and a common crisis management • Inundation of Lyon and Mâcon Roads, March 2001: Implement contingency plans and a common crisis management • Emergency management operations with Peloponnese wild fires 2007: Co-ordinate information and responsibilities among authorities, services and the public. • Winter maintenance of walkways and bicycle lanes at the city of Oulu: Successful tendering of regular maintenance to maintain cycling through winter months

  17. Questionstobediscussed • A: DRIVER AND PASSENGER INFORMATION SYSTEMS • Personalised weather information • Driver assistance systems, safety and drivers’ risk perception • Available weather information services for drivers and operators • B: PUBLIC TRANSPORT OPERATIONS • Inter-company co-operation • Risk plans and staff training • Market opening and privatisation • C: POLICY AND MARKET STRUCTURE CHALLENGES • European and national policy for road passenger transport resilience? • New (urban multi modal) mobility systems and weather extremes • Alliances between coach and rail carriers

  18. Session 1: Road Freight Transport and Logistics • MOWE-IT Workshop Resilient Road Transport” • 18. September 2013, Brussels

  19. Questionstobediscussed • A: HAULAGE INFORMATION AND WARNING SYSTEMS • Appropriateness of warning systems and information • Specific services for freight associations • Appropriate communication strategies at B2C markets • B: ADAPTATION STRATEGIES AT COMPANY LEVEL • Availability of information on freight interruptions • Involvement of SMEs • Barriers to co-operation and information exchange • C: LONG TERM SOLUTIONS FOR RESILIENT MARKETS • Wider benefits of adapting the freight sector • Intermodal networks • Regulatory environments and new technologies

  21. Processing and use of the results • Short documentation of the workshop: Participants are encouraged to comment, complete or correctTime horizon: coming weeks. • RTD roadmap to the EC. Informal document derived from literature and the results of the workshop. Possibly relevant for Horihzon 2020 work programmes. Time horizon: End October • MOWE-IT Policy Guidebook Road: Good practices, barriers and opportunities of enhanced information, management and operation systems in road transport. Time horizon: end of December.

  22.
