Building resilience for freight transport with Jasper Verschuur
From geopolitical conflict to labour strikes and natural disasters, freight transportation systems are prone to a variety of external shocks that can disrupt operations. These shocks can create significant delays and cause wider economic losses in the case of large-scale disruptions.
Ensuring that freight transport systems are resilient to these shocks is therefore essential. While the resilience of freight transport systems has gained considerable political traction, there are large knowledge gaps in how to incorporate resilience into freight transport planning and policymaking.
Jasper Verschuur's (TU Delft and the University of Oxford) paper aims to develop a methodology to evaluate the resilience of freight transport systems in general, then apply the methodology to the regional freight transport networks of Central Asia and Southeast Asia. The paper proposes an overarching framework that captures the risk and resilience considerations for freight transport networks, followed by a set of practical approaches to evaluate freight transport resilience. It ends with future recommendations to improve regional freight resilience in the two regions.
