SAFE-10-T (Safety of Transport Infrastructure on the TEN-T Network) is a project funded by the European Union according to the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme. The SAFE-10-T project is developing a global risk framework that will form the basis of an online Decision Support Tool (DST) to assist in decision-making regarding the management of transport infrastructure along the European TEN-T network. The DST is limited to road, rail and inland waterway transport infrastructure and will consider the multi-modality of these networks in terms of transport disruption due to asset failures. End-users will be able to assess the impact of interventions for infrastructure assets, including bridges, tunnels and earthworks and novel machine learning applications are being developed both at asset and network levels to provide real-time safety assessments for critical infrastructure assets. The targeted end-users are government authorities and infrastructure owners who will be able to use the outputs of the SAFE-10-T project to make strategic investment decisions regarding transport infrastructure. This paper provides an overview of the project, which commenced in May 2017. Further information is available at www.safe10tproject.eu.
