Resilient Transportation: How People, Data, and Digital Tools Are Shaping Infrastructure for the Future

Resilience has become a central theme in transportation infrastructure. From climate risks and extreme weather events to aging systems and constrained budgets, the ability to anticipate, adapt, and recover is no longer optional—it is essential. Yet, as a recent panel of industry experts demonstrated during Bentley Systems’ Year in Infrastructure conference in Amsterdam last week, resilience is about far more than engineering robust structures. It is about people, processes, and the intelligent use of data and digital tools.
