Risk management for roads in a changing climate, RIMAROCC. Illustrative case study for section/network scale on A2/A58's Hertogenbosch - Eindhoven - Tilburg, the Netherlands Bles, Thomas ; Mens, Marjolein

By: Contributor(s): Publication details: Linköping Swedish Geotechnical Institute, SGI, 2010Description: 1 CD, 30 s. CDSubject(s): Bibl.nr: VTI 2011.0119 RefLocation: Abstract: The RIMAROCC method is developed to fit different geographical scales including structure, section, network and territorial scales. This case study aimed to be on the territorial scale. The territory used in the case study is relatively small but the case study is still interesting because of specific contextual site factors. The territorial aspect of this case study mainly relies on the analysis of the consequences of land management decisions on the road network operation. However, due to problems with getting an appropriate case on theterritorial scale, the case study ended up being on territorial scale and became more related to a section/network scale. Lessons of this case study are relevant for all study scales. It has to be noted that all information in this case study report is based on three interviews with six experts from Rijkswaterstaat. For the further elaboration of the case study many assumptions have been made by the authors that have not been validated by these experts. The output of this case study therefore is only an illustration of the RIMAROCC method. Contents and conclusions in the different steps should not be used for the real case study subject. The case study considers risk assessment and risk management for the roads A2 and A58 linking 's Hertogenbosch, Eindhoven and Tilburg in the Netherlands. In this case study, two climate factors were studied: high temperatures and extreme precipitation intensity. Even though the case study was based on a lot of assumptions it proved to be a good illustration of the framework.
