CREDO for transport: Value propositions for holistic systems resilience

Transport is the foundational enabler and cornerstone of the UK's critical national infrastructure, underpinning economic growth and societal wellbeing. This vital network, which supports the nation's high-growth industries (often referred to as the 'IS-8'), is facing an escalating threat from extreme weather and cascading failures.

Crucially, transport is deeply interdependent with other sectors like energy, telecoms, and water. Disruptions in these networks don't stop there - they trigger systemic failures across rail, road and local transport.

Current siloed resilience planning is no longer enough. We must move beyond high-level assumptions to a coordinated, data-led approach. To safeguard the transport system, we must move beyond high-level assumptions towards a coordinated, data-led approach. This is where the Climate Resilience Decision Optimiser (CReDO) comes into play.

CReDO is a pioneering digital twin platform that models infrastructure interdependencies to uncover hidden vulnerabilities under extreme climate scenarios, enabling smarter, system-wide resilience planning.

Download the whitepaper to gain insights into:

  • How climate hazards trigger cascading failures across transport, energy, water, and telecoms networks
  • Why current transport resilience planning falls short, and where assessment and reporting gaps remain
  • How CReDO models interdependencies down to asset level, using probabilistic climate and failure scenarios
  • Four clear value propositions for transport organisations, covering:
    • Long-term resilience planning and reporting
    • Business case development for resilience investment
    • Crisis response and contingency planning
    • Designing future, electrified and digital transport systems
  • Practical actions for industry and government to unlock cross-sector resilience, including pilots, data sharing, and leadership frameworks.
