Infrastructure and Networks

The work packages

The Consortium on Infrastructure Networks Climate Adaptation & Hotspots (INCAH) identifies four work packages (WP's). Availability and quality of infrastructure is addressed by considering the structural and functional performance characteristics of infrastructure components. A second work package focuses on the performance and robustness of infrastructure networks. The economic tools for decision making are developed in a third work package. These three work packages comprise the core of the research work done in the programme. In each of these work packages, the research carried combines scientific analysis, exploration and modeling with the setup and completion of case studies on national, regional and local transport, water and energy infrastructures. To increase the relevance and utilization of the work, the experience and insights gained in these 3 work packages are brought together in one integrative work package, where adaptation strategies will be developed for the Netherlands.
