1 Sustainable maintenance policy for infrastructure networks in the Randstad: a climate change perspective Prof.dr. Geert Dewulf and dr. I. Stipanovic, University of Twente

3 RESEARCH OBJECTIVES Understanding the impact of climate changes on the asset performance (roads and railways) Developing local climate scenarios Analysing the relationship between maintenance renovation & reconstruction decision-making and public policies Evaluation long-term impacts caused by climate change Determining appropriate adaption strategies 3 3
4 Methodology: Top-down & Bottom -up Climate Change Models Policy Industry Impact Analyses Economic Analysis Adaptation Organization Infrastructure Operators Material Science Structure Design Infrastructure Roads & Railways Construction & Maintenance Costs Damage Data 4
5 Transport infrastructure performance relation to climate variable (e.g. temperature, rainfall, snow) Change to climate variable (Local climate scenarios, e.g. more hot days, increased precipitation) Historical data about performance and maintenance Correlation between infrastructure performance and weather conditions Baseline threshold values future incidents Impact - costs (e.g. increased incidents of washout, flooding and scour new design requirements) Risk matrix (classification and quantification of risks) Adaptation strategies (e.g. strengthening substructure) 5
6 Road infrastructure: The problem & question Increased road damage 90% porous asphalt, dense road network Increased winter maintenance & shorter lifespan Long-term climate change adaptation How will changes in Freeze-Thaw cycles impact porous asphalt road network? Infrastructure Planning Support System Larger body of work Precipitation, temperature Roads, buildings, bridges 6
7 The Approach Stressor Freeze-Thaw cycles Precipitation Temperature Traffic load Infrastructur e Roads Buildings Bridges Response Thresholds Design standards Maintenance Costs 7

12 Scientific results The importance of regional studies Methodology for translating air temperature road temperature damage future scenarios costs Risk road performance model depending on: Type and age of asphalt Traffic intensity Climate Supporting tool for infrastructure managers visualizalisation of the risks using GIS maps and risk model 17
13 Lessons learned the improvement of the data collection about the failures is necessary; only local effects are stored there are often effects on other components and long-term effects; no consistent information about costs, delays and safety; database should be in accordance with the final objective development of maintenance and / or adaptation measures; 19

15 Future steps Develop a risk-based tool further Improve cost model Integrate monitoring data into the existing management systems Apply the methodology for other climate stressors and potential risks (e.g. flooding, scouring of the bridges) 21
