Marketing - Construction / Civil Engineering / Swiss News Release
German term or phrase: automatische Elastizität
In the following context:

So wird's letztlich auch am Heiligen Florian liegen, ob der Kreuzung am Wettinger-Ende der Hochbrücke mehr automatische Elastizität beigebracht werden kann ...

I just cannot seem to come up with a suitable expression in this context.

Any help appreciated.

(automatic) resilience
Explanation:
definition of resilience per Atomica is:
property of a material that enables it to resume its original shape or position after being bent, stretched or compressed.
To me, the addition of "automatic" is somewhat redudant. Perhaps "natural resilience" might do too but resilience alone is my choice.
