Singhvi, Ankita (author), Luijendijk, Arjen (author), van Oudenhoven, Alexander P.E. (author)In the face of uncertainties around coastal management and climate change, coastal engineering interventions need to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Nature-based solutions and other non-traditional, integrated interventions are gaining traction. However, system-based views are not yet embedded into coastal management strategies....review 2022

Hein, C.M. (author)Ports and cities and their surrounding regions coexist in a limited, shared space; today, they face multiple challenges, including climate change, energy transitions, digitization, or social transformations. These challenges require coordinated responses from all stakeholders: port authorities, city and regional governments, private and public...report 2020

Pirani, Mohammad (author), Baldi, S. (author), Johansson, Karl Henrik (author)This paper presents a comprehensive study on the impact of information flow topologies on the resilience of distributed algorithms that are widely used for estimation and control in vehicle platoons. In the state of the art, the influence of information flow topology on both internal and string stability of vehicle platoons has been well...journal article 2022

Guo, Y. (author), Wang, Xinyu (author), Lian, Dong (author), Wan, Hongyu (author), Jing, Guoqing (author)The Sichuan−Tibet railway is built under some difficult situations, including limited ballast bed profile, frequent earthquakes and large diurnal temperature variation. These difficulties cause insufficient lateral resistance of ballasted track, which is an urgent problem for the stability and resilience of the continuously welded rail (CWR)....journal article 2022

Bešinović, Nikola (author), Szymula, Christopher (author)Due to the covid19 crisis, public transport (PT) systems are facing new challenges. Regarding restrictive measures such as physical distancing and the successive returning of passengers after the “intelligent lockdown”, significant lack of transport capacity can be expected. In this paper, the transport capacity of a PT network is assessed,...journal article 2021

Tajuddin, N.A. (author), Dabrowski, M.M. (author)Addressing climate change adaptation in the cities of the Global South is crucial as they are the most at risk and, arguably, the least capable of coping with it due to their rapid expansion, informal development, and limited institutional capacity. This paper explores this challenge in the case of Chennai, India, a city which, in recent years,...journal article 2021

Trepat Borecka, Jacob (author), Bešinović, Nikola (author)Highly utilized railway networks require regular infrastructure maintenance. Different track sections often need to be closed for entire days to carry out engineering works, which makes the regular timetables no longer feasible and thus adjusted railway services and temporary alternative services need to be planned. We introduce the...journal article 2021

Vert, M.P.J. (author), Sharpanskykh, Alexei (author), Curran, R. (author)Resilience is commonly understood as the capacity for a system to maintain a desirable state while undergoing adversity or to return to a desirable state as quickly as possible after being impacted. In this paper, we focus on resilience for complex sociotechnical systems (STS), specifically those where safety is an important aspect. Two main...journal article 2021

Roggema, Rob (author), Tillie, Nico (author), Keeffe, Greg (author), Yan, Wanglin (author)In this article a planning approach is proposed to accommodate different paces of urbanisation. Instead of responding to a single problem with a Pavlov-type of response, analysis shows that the transformational tempi of different urban landscapes require multiple deployment strategies to develop urban environments that are sustainable and...journal article 2021

Marzot, N. (author)The crisis resulting from the effects of the pandemic has revealed more than just a financial impact, but also the inability of our cities to react to pressing changes that cannot be postponed. Only a portion of this can be traced back to the structural inertia in modifying a social framework founded on automatisms that involve both action ...journal article 2021

Cañizares Gaztelu, J.C. (author), Copeland, S.M. (author), Doorn, N. (author)This article contributes to recent work on justice in resilience-based projects for climate adaptation. At present, the model commonly used for guiding normative reflection in this domain is the tripartite model of justice, whereby justice is seen as comprising distributive, procedural and recognitional aspects. After discussing some conceptual...journal article 2023

Cincotta, Salvatore (author), Khakzad, N. (author), Cozzani, Valerio (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)Domino effects triggered by fire can cause extremely severe damages to the chemical and process plants. In the need of a more effective prevention of fire domino effects, the present study focuses on firefighting which has received less attention compared to passive and active fire protection systems. Considering both the vulnerability and...journal article 2019
