ITE Greater Vancouver is pleased to have Dr. Stephen Wong present his research on the integration of resilience in transportation at 12:00 pm, February 26th, 2025. The virtual seminar will be free and online.
Description: Resilience is an increasingly important goal for transportation systems. As the climate changes and people continue to live in high risk areas, resilient transportation that prepares for, responds to, and recovers from disruptions is expected to follow a similar integration pathway as sustainability. This presentation will discuss several key components of resilient transportation, share current research in the North American context, and discuss implications for applying the research in transportation practice.
Dr. Stephen Wong is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Alberta and leads the Resilient and Sustainable Mobility and Evacuation (RESUME) Group. His research focuses on the intersection of disasters/emergencies, decision-making, and transportation and works to create more resilient, environmentally friendly, and equitable transportation systems. Dr. Wong is actively involved in multiple committees at the Transportation Research Board related to resilience, strategic management, and young professionals.
