Extreme weather impacts on European networks of transport (EWENT)
Start date: Nov 30, 2009, End date: May 29, 2012 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project addresses the EU policies and strategies on climate change with particular focus on extreme weather impacts on the EU transportation system. The methodological approach is based on a generic risk management framework which follows a standardised process starting with the identification of hazardous extreme weather phenomena, followed by an impact assessment and concluded by mitigation and risk control measures. Achievements: The project addressed the EU policies and strategies on climate change with particular focus on extreme weather impacts on the EU transportation system. The methodological approach was based on a generic risk management framework which followed a standardised process starting with the identification of hazardous extreme weather phenomena, followed by an impact assessment and concluded by mitigation and risk control measures. In detail, the project comprises:• Identification and definition of hazards on the EU transport system• Estimation of the probabilities of risk scenarios related to extreme weather events• Estimation of the consequences of extreme weather events based on the scenarios developed• Monetisation of harmful consequences for each mode of transport considered• Risk assessment based on impact evaluation and options for reduction and control of harmful events resulting from extreme weather• Analysis of different management and policy options
