Welcome to RA2CE’s documentation!#
Resilience Assessment and Adaptation for Critical infrastructurE
Quantify network vulnerability, prioritize interventions, and support adaptation decisions. For transport infrastructure exposed to natural hazards and future climate conditions. Built by Deltares.
Assess hazard exposure
Overlay flood depths and other hazard maps onto networks to identify exposed segments across return periods.
Quantify criticality
Identify critical links, measure redundancy, and compute detour costs under single- or multi-link failure scenarios.
Estimate economic risk
Compute direct damages (EAD) and indirect economic losses (EAL), and compare adaptation strategies side-by-side.

Typical analysis workflow#
Each module builds on the previous. Network and Hazard are required foundations; the analysis modules can be combined depending on your objectives.
01
Network
OSM or shapefile
02
Hazard
Overlay raster data
03
Criticality
Redundancy & detours
04
Damages / Losses
EAD & EAL metrics
05
Adaptation
Compare strategies
