Transport and Mobility is a chapter of Critical Infrastructure: a specialist sub-community with its own group, editor and research agenda. Transport under the infrastructure profession.

Transport and Mobility is a chapter of Critical Infrastructure: a specialist sub-community with its own group, editor and research agenda. Its work starts from the cornerstone topic, transport and mobility. Transport network resilience is the ability of roads, rail and public transport to keep moving people and goods through disruption and to recover quickly. A chapter becomes a platform of its own only by meeting the graduation rule.

Specialists who work on the chapter's questions.
A moderated group, opened when its hosting and terms are in place.
A named editor responsible for the chapter's pages.
Questions the chapter works on, starting from its cornerstone topic.
The chapter covers road, rail, port and air networks as lifelines: which links are critical, how evacuation and emergency access work, and how freight continuity holds when corridors fail.

Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Critical link | A network link whose closure causes large travel time increases or isolates places. |
| Accessibility | The ease of reaching destinations such as jobs and services by available transport. |
| Detour ratio | The length of the shortest alternative route relative to the original route when a link closes. |
| Chapter | In the Nexus network, a specialist sub-community inside a platform with its own group, editor and research agenda; it can become its own platform only by meeting the published graduation rule. |

The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
