Hi everyone,
It is a little hard to feel that this experience is finishing. I should write about this training week some months ago, but the last year of a PhD is pretty intense and time seems to be reducing more and more.
This time I am going to tell you about the training week offered by the SMARTI ETN on Resilient Transport Infrastructure at the premises of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) and the Asphalt Road Research Board (ARRB) in Melbourne Australia. RMIT is a partner of the SMARTI ETN but is also the main partner of SPARC “Smart Pavement Australia Research Collaboration” an Australian training-through-research network looking at the future generation road pavements: https://sparchub.org.au/
At the beginning of the event, the SMARTI ETN fellows had the chance to meet up, share experiences, and start collaborations with the SPARC fellows. Additionally, we had also the chance to disseminate the findings in a dedicated workshop and to receive a demonstration of the ARRB laboratories and Equipment.
After that, we had the opportunity to receive training from academics, governmental bodies, and industry about the following topics: Disaster Management and Resilience, Building Urban Resilience, Resilient Melbourne – Guidelines to become the most liveable city (City of Melbourne), Critical Infrastructure Resilience (Emergency Management Victoria), Climate Change Resilience of Melbourne (Dept. of Environment, Land and Planning – Victorian Government), Victorian Digital Asset Strategy (Office of Projects Victoria), VicROADs resiliency of the road network practical examples, METRO Tunnel resiliency of the railway network practical examples, Auststab presenting options for road resiliency, sensor company for bridge monitoring or sensor solutions for bridge network monitoring, asset management using drones, Augmented reality/Virtual reality/BIM (RMIT, RMS, BIM company in Victoria).
