VTT, led by the International Extreme Weather Impacts is the “European Networks of Transport Research Project (EWENT) study the impact of extreme weather conditions of different modes of transport: road and a light transport, railways and air transport, inland waterways and maritime transport. The aim is to determine the adverse weather conditions and to assess their costs within the EU. This study examines the normal intense atmosphere generated driven phenomena, which is particularly harmful to traffic and transport. Exclude, for example, tsunamis and earthquakes, which are comparable to natural disasters and weather patterns.
