The EU-funded RISKADAPT project (GA: 101093939) aims at addressing the challenges posed by Climate Change (CC)-induced compound events. The project delivers a novel, integrated, modular, interoperable, customizable, and user-friendly platform, PRISKADAPT, developed in close collaboration with end-users. This platform supports systemic, risk-informed decision-making for adapting to climate events at the asset level, with a focus on structural systems. By integrating advanced datasets, models, and analytical tools, PRISKADAPT provides a solution for assessing risks, exploring adaptation measures, and enhancing infrastructure resilience in a changing climate. Central to PRISKADAPT is its robust Data Management System (DMS), which acts as a central repository and processing hub for critical datasets. It is engineered to handle data from external modules, and various other sources, ensuring a flexible and adaptable approach to data integration. This capability allows users to draw insights from diverse datasets, enabling more precise decision-making. The system also leverages algorithms and models to identify trends, risks, and optimize adaptation strategies, ensuring that the platform remains relevant and responsive to evolving climate challenges. Complementing the DMS is the intuitive User Interface (UI), designed to serve as the primary interaction point for stakeholders. The UI offers tailored visualizations, decision-support tools, and functionalities to accommodate diverse user roles and permissions. Administrators gain comprehensive control over system configurations, enabling efficient management of complex workflows and customization of the platform to specific needs. End-users, on the other hand, benefit from interactive modules that facilitate data exploration, structural assessments, and actionable insights, enhancing their ability to make informed decisions. Through PRISKADAPT, users can visualize assets’ administrative and structural details, including Building Information Management (BIM) models. The platform allows exploration of climatological and environmental data, assessment of material degradation, and comprehensive structural risk evaluations. Risk assessments incorporate various climate and environmental scenarios, including as-is conditions and potential adaptation measures (what-if scenarios). The platform’s outputs combine structural risk data with Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Life Cycle Cost (LCC) analyses, and social impact evaluations, delivering a holistic total (technical and social) risk assessment to users. This integration ensures that adaptation strategies are not only effective but also economically and socially viable. The Model Information System (MIS) is another critical feature of PRISKADAPT, enabling users to evaluate and compare adaptation measures. By simulating the effectiveness, and impact of different strategies under various scenarios, the MIS helps stakeholders develop tailored adaptation plans that address specific vulnerabilities. Additionally, PRISKADAPT includes authoring tools for designing module interdependencies using functional flow block diagrams. These tools enable administrators to manage workflows, supporting dynamic and modular system configurations. Users can leverage PRISKADAPT in its entirety or integrate their own datasets and models for climate change forcing, structural analysis, lifecycle assessment, and cost evaluations. This flexibility supports the creation of new end-to-end analyses or the enhancement of existing workflows. By empowering users with precise, data-driven insights and a scalable architecture, RISKADAPT promotes sustainable and resilient infrastructure, paving the way for proactive planning and an adaptive future in the face of climate uncertainty.
