D4.4 Multi-Hazard Vulnerability Modules for IWW and connected hinterland infrastructures final version

The PLOTO project aims to increase the resilience of the Inland WaterWays (IWW) infrastructures and the connected hinterland infrastructures, thus ensuring reliable network availability under unfavourable conditions, such as extreme weather, accidents, and other kind of hazards. PLOTO’s main target is to combine downscaled climate change scenarios (applied to IWW infrastructures) with simulation tools and actual data, to provide the relevant authorities and their operators with an integrated tool able to support more effective management of their infrastructures at strategic and operational levels. The PLOTO integrated platform and its tools will be validated in three case studies in Belgium, Romania, and Hungary.The aim of this report is to: a. present the finalized methodology behind the development of the Multi-Hazard-Vulnerability-Modules (MHVM) as described in Task 4.2 of WP4;b. index the IWW and hinterland infrastructure elements (assets) that constitute the exposure model of PLOTO;c. present the structure of MHVMs.
