Abstract

Abstract In this paper, a new framework – RoadRAT - for analyzing the probability of inundation, wave runup, and erosion is applied within the context of risk management for coastal roads. The analysis focus on a case study in south Sweden and consists of risk identification, calculation of probability, and discussion of consequences and mitigation methods. The results show that future risks are highly dependent on the future greenhouse gas emissions.
