A definition of resilience in the context of transport systems should be provided, and factors of transport safety and energy efficiency that are essential to take into account should be determined. Moreover, scenarios for disruptive changes should be identified that can make a transport system instable, the consequences on transport safety be analysed, and solutions to tackle them be developed. Hence, a structured method to secure safety as an integrated part in resilient transport systems should be provided.
A solid foundation for this research is the Safe System Approach. It requires the inclusion of
relevant expertise in social sciences and humanities (SSH) and will benefit from international
cooperation.
