Objectives:

This course focuses on the ability of transport infrastructures to withstand stress, aging, and rare catastrophic events. It explores how these local factors can impact networks and broader areas, including their social and economic impact. The course aims to provide basic knowledge and tools to estimate and forecast these effects. Students learn about network resilience, understanding how local infrastructure failures impact networks.
