Scope and Topics
TRA is not only a research conference, but an arena which aims to bring together European stakeholders from all areas of transport and transport-related activities. The scope of the conference encompasses all modes of surface transport: road, rail, waterborne, urban transport, planning and mobility, as well as co-modality.
Latest achievements in European research and the technological developments needed for the next decades will be presented, discussed, shared and debated by all the involved parties.
A broad spectrum of research and innovation activities ranging from basic sciences to application-oriented engineering, as well as social, technical and economic aspects, policy and standards will be represented with examples of market uptake and deployment being of particular interest.
The topics and modes to be addressed are:
