Weather phenomena can result in severe impacts on railway infrastructure. In future,
projected changes to the frequency and/or intensity of extreme weather events could change …

Anthropogenic activity is changing Earth's climate and ecosystems in ways that are
potentially dangerous and disruptive to humans. Greenhouse gas concentrations in the …

This study reports a method to explore the icing risk of roads considering the dynamic
dependence between icing-inducing factors. The joint distribution of inducing factors was …

This study identifies how temperature affects the transportation sector's low-carbon
performance, measured by carbon total factor productivity (CTFP). The findings reveal that …

The high-speed train (HST) system is one of the most critical components of national and
international passenger transportation networks. Selecting the appropriate train sets is a …

In recent years, frequent natural disasters have brought great challenges to the stable
operation of the high‐speed railway (HSR). Improving the resilience of the HSR system is an …

The adhesion and damage behaviour of wheel–rail systems play an important role in the
safety of railway operations. To verify the low adhesion behaviour of wheel and rail contact …

Increasing demand for railway transportation combined with more severe climate events,
such as extreme heat, leads to an increased risk of degradation of track support and failure …

Climate change is a key business risk for ports and inland waterways and, therefore, a key
consideration for the design and operation of this infrastructure. While risk and vulnerability …

In view of the predicted climate change towards drier and hotter summers in Germany, heat-
and drought-related disturbances in railway traffic are likely to increase in the next decades …
