Climate Change Adaptation for Transportation Systems examines the international state of knowledge on climate change and weather and their potential impacts on the planning, design and serviceability of transportation networks. The book describes alternative frameworks for adapting to climate change in the planning, provision and management of transportation systems. It discusses methods and models for including climate and weather factors in planning and design for use in transportation asset systems under risk and uncertainty. Giving specific attention to road, rail, ports and harbors, the book provides users with the tools they need in decision-making approaches where there is uncertainty.

Michael Taylor is Emeritus Professor of Transport Planning at the University of South Australia in Adelaide, Australia. He has published extensively in several areas, including transport network reliability and vulnerability, climate change adaptation for transport systems, sustainable transport and low carbon mobility, with more than 450 papers, book chapters and articles, and 16 authored or edited books, including the “Vulnerability Analysis for Transportation Networks (Elsevier, June 2017). He has been guest editor of the journals Transport Reviews, Transportation Research A, Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Transportation Research C, and International Journal of Sustainable Transportation. He is a member of the Management Committee of the Australian Climate Change Adaptation Research Network for Settlements and Infrastructure, a foundation Board Member of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, former Board Member of Intelligent Transport Systems Australia, and lifetime honorary member of the prestigious International Advisory Committee for the International Symposia on Transportation and Traffic Theory. In 2011-2015 he was a member of the OECD’s International Working Group on Infrastructure Adaptation to Extreme Weather and Climate Change.
