Research Hub for Decarbonised Adaptable and Resilient Transport Infrastructures (DARe)

Transportation, in both its methods and execution, plays a crucial role in shaping society, impacting the environment, and influencing climate change. The project aims to utilize systems analysis to develop transport systems that are climate-resilient and contribute to net zero. Through its findings, decision-makers will gain access to data visualizations that provide insights into how transportation systems are performing in terms of resilience, decarbonization, and other key objectives, both currently and in the future. The systems models we deliver will identify vulnerabilities, quantify failure risks, and allow for ‘what-if’ analyses of proposed investments, enabling stress-testing of scenarios involving major uncertainties like population growth, emerging materials and technologies, and climate change.

The project seeks to deliver co-created research that plots viable pathways and solutions for delivering a resilient, net-zero transport system that works for people and communities by 2050. DARe will be the go-to Hub because we will engage widely and proactively, and provide the evidence, guidance and tools to decision-makers that will enable them to prioritise early interventions and investments.
