Synthesis of Approaches for Addressing Resilience in Project Development
This report synthesizes lessons learned and innovations from recent Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) studies and pilots to help transportation agencies address changing climate conditions and extreme weather events at the asset level. The report is designed to provide needed information to a range of engineering disciplines to integrate climate considerations into transportation project development, including: (1) Information on why, where, and how to integrate climate considerations into the project development process; (2) Basic, practical information in related disciplines such as climate science and economics; and (3) Lessons learned for various engineering disciplines from project-level studies that address how to assess project exposure and vulnerability to climate change stressors, and how to evaluate and select appropriate adaptation strategies. This report presents climate sensitivities, FHWA guidance, lessons learned, adaptation options, and knowledge gaps for four engineering disciplines: coastal hydraulics; riverine flooding; pavement and soils; and mechanical and electrical systems.
