This focus collection will explore both the effects of transportation on the environment, and vice versa. These and other impacts of climate and environmental change on transportation infrastructure, emphasise the necessity of incorporating an understanding of our non-stationary climate into future transportation planning and investment In addition, new climate policies around the world may necessitate significant changes to transportation systems in order to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. More frequent weatherĮxtremes may disrupt infrastructure, causing ripple effects throughout transportation networks. Roads may be subjected to more freeze-thaw cycles in some areas, and both road and rail systems could experience direct heat damage in others. The marine sector may have access to new shipping routes as sea ice melts. The aviation sector may contend with increased atmospheric turbulence and heat-related degradation of aircraft performance. With the continuous growth in transportation, increasingly shifting to high-speed transportation modes, theseĪt the same time, transportation systems will also be impacted by environmental change. Transportation also leads to noise pollution, water pollution, and affects ecosystems through multiple direct and indirect interactions. Through the emissions from combustion of fossil-derived fuels, transportation systems contribute to degraded air quality, as well as a changing climate. Significant socioeconomic benefits, transportation systems have environmental externalities.
