摘要

Transport resilience is fundamental for the functioning of society, as all human activities, such as commuting, recreation, and supply chains, depend on efficient transport systems. The COVID crisis has further emphasised the essential role of transport during global emergencies for the provision of necessary goods and emergency services. The European Union has recognised the importance of transport resilience and has outlined its significance in the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy (European Commission, 2021). This strategy acknowledges the potential disruptions caused by climate change and extreme weather events and highlights the need for cybersecurity in the face of increasing automation and connectivity. Policy measures proposed in the strategy include the upgrading of physical and digital transport infrastructure to ensure continuity, multimodality, and interoperability between different modes. These measures aim to achieve the completion of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) and the establishment of a Single European Transport Area. In order to achieve these objectives, research and innovation play a crucial role. The aim of this study is to provide a qualitative and quantitative assessment of relevant EU research and innovation initiatives, identifying key trends, challenges, and achievements. The study utilises data from the publicly available Transport Research and Innovation Monitoring and Information System (TRIMIS) database ( https://trimis.ec.europa.eu ), which contains information on over 8500 research projects, including approximately 2700 projects funded within the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme. A total of 50 EU-funded projects, including 37 funded within Horizon 2020, were selected for analysis. These projects offer a representative snapshot of recent and ongoing research in the field of transport resilience.
