Transport networks are crucial for economic growth, yet their sustainability is increasingly threatened by natural hazards. Recent floods in Italy have highlighted the vulnerability of rail and road infrastructure, causing severe damage losses. The Gargano Promontory northern Apulia has experienced frequent hydrogeological disruptions over past decade, significantly affecting bridges railway network managed Ferrovie del s.r.l. (FdG). However, structural interventions complex, time-consuming, costly, involve certain risks. To enhance comply with safety regulations, FdG adopted non-structural measures to improve risk classification management. Despite prevalence flood events, existing literature often overlooks technical aspects, which this study addresses. HYD.RAIL (HYDraulic Risk Assessment Infrastructure Lane) research project aims transport infrastructure resilience refining hydraulic assessments introducing new parameters. employs a multicriteria approach, integrating parameters defined collaboration professionals. This paper presents initial framework, offering methodology identify, classify, manage risks transportation infrastructure. Compared standard methods, lack detailed classification, enables more precise mapping. For example, high-risk points were reduced from 37 6 locations on Line 1 134 50 2 using HYD.RAIL. approach enhances management efficiency, providing operators accurate understanding vulnerabilities.
