TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - An approach to resilience in transportation planning JO - International journal of sustainable development and planning A1 - Schoeman, I. M. SP - 1061 EP - 1071 VL - 13 IS - 08 N2 - To achieve sustainability within a system (e.g. transportation networks, etc.), the way of thinking, planning, project design and implementation needs to be resilient in order to contribute to the system wide sustainability. It thus implies a need for quantitative data and information to optimise planning and to support decision making in an adaptive fashion. Through being able to describe how the system evolves over time, it enable ways to define preconditions or input that will ensure a dynamic system remain stable to promote resilience and sustainability. At present, theory and practices do not make provision for the development of improved adaptive capacities in all phases of planning through dynamic transportation systems planning and development. The aim of this paper is to introduce and develop resilience-orientated frameworks and approaches based on application of mathematical, statistical and decision-making tools, which can be used to enhance the interface between resilience and sustainability alignment though dynamic thinking, planning and implementation in transportation systems. in the end, this will lead to improved management and sustainable transport planning. Keywords adaptive capacity and decision making, dynamic planning, dynamic transportation systems, resilience, sustainability.
