10th International Symposium on Transport Network Resilience - INSTR 2026

General Information > Topics of Interest

This event will bring together leading researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in the transport network resilience field worldwide. The INSTR series focuses on the latest advanced research on modeling and applications of transport network analysis, planning, and management, with particular emphasis on resilience, robustness, and uncertainty modeling.

INSTR is the premier gathering for the world's transportation academics and professionals interested in transport network resilience and reliability, and those who are contributing to or seeking a deeper understanding of this increasingly critical field.

The 2026 edition will emphasize scientific challenges raised by recent theoretical developments and emerging technologies. Topics are grouped into four major thematic pillars:

1. Network Resilience Modeling & Analysis

  • Network reliability and resilience modeling & estimation
  • Transport network resilience and network interdependencies
  • Stochastic and robust network optimization
  • Agent-based modeling and scenario-based assessments
  • Mobility data analytics and uncertainty quantification

2. Design & Management of Resilient Transport Systems

  • Design and control of resilient transport networks
  • Reliability of public transport and intermodal systems
  • Travel behavior under uncertainty
  • Economics and valuation of resilience
  • Evacuation planning and crisis logistics

3. Emerging Technologies & Vulnerabilities

  • Resilience of connected, automated, and electric vehicle systems
  • Artificial Intelligence for resilient mobility systems
  • Cybersecurity and digital infrastructure vulnerabilities
  • Freight network resilience and supply chain risk
  • Smart mobility systems and their robustness

4. Risk Assessment & Crisis Management

  • Network vulnerability assessment and risk analysis
  • Disaster response and emergency transportation planning
  • Climate change adaptation in transport systems
  • Multi-hazard resilience planning
  • Poly-crisis management and mitigation
  • Recovery strategies and network restoration
