The Transport Research Knowledge Centre (TRKC) gives you an overview of research activities at European and national level. For in-depth information, consult our programme and project profiles.
Information on transport research programmes across the European Research Area;
A compendium of European and national research funding mechanisms;
A project database of ongoing and completed European and national transport research projects. Main results and policy implications of the projects are outlined and categorised into key thematic areas;
Thematic analysis reports on the results and policy implications of completed projects;
Policy brochures presenting the highlights of the research results according to policy topics;
A links library to transport research government institutions, professional organisations, information relays;
Access to a data collection tool, where research project coordinators can submit research results from their own projects;
Helpdesk, Frequently Asked Questions, and a glossary of transport-related abbreviations.
Thematic publications
Transport research projects have an important role in supporting the policy development.
Project research results are analysed along 30 transport themes. The policy implications of the projects are analysed and compiled into Thematic Research Summaries. These reports are regularly updated as more information from completed research projects from both European and National research programmes becomes available.
The research summaries are comprised of:
•associated policy issues;
•a synthesis of findings from completed projects;
•a list of references to policy documents; and
•a list of projects contributing to each theme.
A recent example of what type of report TRKC publishes is the latest report on Regional and Rural Transport. The report can be accessed by clicking on the pdf.
