A sector-specific decision support system designed to enhance transport infrastructure resilience by integrating climate and hazard information into risk assessment, planning, and operational decision-making for road networks
National Vehicular & Transport Resilience Gateway (NAVIGATE) Decision Support System
Link To DSS: https://navigate.dor.gov.np/app/dashboard
Developer: RIMES
Stage Of Maturity: Operational, Continuously evolving
- Coverage: National (Nepal)
- Climate Timescales Covered: Extended Range (Sub-seasonal), Long-term / Climate Change Projections, Real-time / Near Real-time Monitoring, Seasonal, Short-range (Weather: 0–10 days)
Strengths
- Strong sector-specific DSS for transport resilience
- Integrates climate, hazard, and infrastructure data
- Supports risk-informed infrastructure planning and maintenance
- Provides actionable insights for operational and strategic decisions
- Highly relevant in mountainous and hazard-prone contexts
- Enables prioritization of investments and interventions
Weaknesses
- Sector-specific (limited cross-sector application)
- Dependent on quality and completeness of infrastructure datasets
- Requires institutional capacity for effective use
- Limited direct last-mile interface (focused on planners/engineers)
- May require customization for other countries or transport systems
Synergies
- Can integrate risk layers from UN ESCAP Risk and Resilience Portal
- Supported by data and analytics from RIMES Regional Data and Analytics System and DataEx
- Can utilize forecast inputs processed through FOCUS
- Can complement operational systems like SMART and SATARK
- Can incorporate long-term projections from CORDEX South Asia for infrastructure planning
