| Adaptation Measures in the EU: Policies, Costs, and Economic Assessment. | Altvater, S. et al | Europe | Flooding |
Cost-benefit analysis of installation of additional hydrological stations in Europe for improved weather forecast is estimated. |
| Benefit/Cost Study of RWIS and Anti-icing Technologies. | Boselly, S. E. | Flooding, Heatwave, Increased storminess, Water scarcity & droughts |
Cost-benefit analysis of road weather information, higher benefits than costs. |

| Benefits of weather services for highway authorities. 733 – Economic and social benefits of Meteorological and Hydrological Services | Wass, S. | Europe, North America | Flooding, Heatwave, Increased storminess, Water scarcity & droughts |
Benefit assessment: Improved weather information will reduce winter maintenance cost for 5 %- 30%. Note that external environmental costs (e.g. reduced pollution of ground waters due to less salting) are not included. |
| Implementations Benchmark, Final Report | UIC | Europe | Flooding, Heatwave, Increased storminess, Water scarcity & droughts |
Cost assessment of a rail information system including On-Board-Units. A continuous stream of data informs the driver of line-specific data and signals status on the route ahead, allowing the train to reach its maximum or optimal speed but still maintaining a safe braking distance factor. |
| Innovative emergency management strategies within the research project WEATHER (Weather Extremes: Impacts on Transport Systems and Hazards for European Regions) | Papanikolaou, A. et al | Finland, USA, Sweden, UK | Flooding, Heatwave, Increased storminess, Water scarcity & droughts |
Review of different cost-benefit analysis of road weather information services in different countries, Benefit-cost ratio vary between 0.5 and 9 |
| Kosten und Nutzen von Anpassungsmaßnahmen an den Klimawandel: Analyse von 28 Anpassungsmaßnahme in Deutschland. (Costs and benefits of climate adaptation measures. Analysis of 28 adaptation measures in Germany) | Tröltzsch, J. et al | Germany | Flooding, Heatwave, Increased storminess, Water scarcity & droughts |
Cost-benefit analysis of weather services and forecasts for transport sector |
| Kosten und Nutzen von Anpassungsmassnahmen an den Klimawandel: Analyse von 28 Anpassungsmassnahmen in Deutschland (Costs and benefits of adaptation measures: Analysis of 28 adaptation measures in Germany) | Tröltzsch, J., Görlach, B., Lückge, H., Peter, M., Sartorius, C. | Germany | Increased storminess, Flooding, Heatwave |
Cost-benefit assessment of weather information systems for transport sector |
| Road Weather Service System in Finland and Savings in Driving Costs | Pilli-Sihvola, Y., Toivonen, K., Kantonen, J. | Finland | Flooding, Heatwave, Increased storminess, Water scarcity & droughts |
Cost-benefit analysis of road weather service system. It was assessed to be beneficial: Benefit-cost ratio about 5. A system level assessment based on mainly expertise and inside observation on pilot projects in Finland. |
