Railway robustness in critical situations
Conference poster, 2025

The project addresses new demands on Sweden to ensure functioning transports in critical situations (e.g. military mobilization, accidents, extreme weather). The focus is on ensuring railway operations under such conditions when (short-term) capacity is critical. 
The project examines
•how capacity has been and may be affected in critical situations
•potential countermeasures to enhance robustness and/or restore capacity
•research needed to enhance capabilities
The project is aimed to show potential and influence policy development regarding transport robustness in critical situations.
