Risk management for roads in a changing climate
The objective of the RIMAROCC project is to develop a common ERA-NET ROAD method for risk analysis and risk management with regard to climate change. The purpose is to support decision making concerning adaptation measures in the road sector. To facilitate the work of end users the method is based upon, or at least be compatible with, general existing methods for risk analysis (and management) within the ERA-NET ROAD funders and other relevant methods. The project is focusing on risk analysis - with risk assessment, risk management in cost-benefit analysis and level of acceptable risk, and on risk management options, how to handle the risks. Specific attention was given to both new road design and improvement/maintenance/operation of existing roads. The first step of the project was a listening process to identify priority needs of the users, based on a simplified value engineering process. This is done through a dialogue where the functions and specific objectives of a risk management method are listed and weighted. These demands are the basis for the development of the RIMAROCC method. An important part of the project was to give several practical examples based on case study scenarios.
