- "Freight System Resiliency"
Freight system resiliency is the ability of the freight system to adapt to changing conditions and withstand and rapidly recover from disruption due to emergencies. A resilient freight transportation system is responsive and able to provide reliable services when it encounters small disruptions and return to service quickly after large disruptions.

Summary:
Freight transport is a challenging economic sector, as it is essential for the functioning of production and distribution systems but and the same time is at the origin of many nuisances such as congestion, greenhouse gas emissions, pollution and noise. When responding to these issues, planners dispose nowadays of a growing body of freight data that can be used for the implementation of policies towards achieving smart mobility.
