What is the TRKC ?

• FP6 Specific Support Action

• Duration from February 2007 to August 2009

• Budget of 2.2 M€

• Successor of EXTRA (FP4) and EXTR@Web (FP5)

The TRKC consortium

GOPA-Cartermill (B) – coordinator

IABG (D)

EGIS Mobilité (F)

ITS Leeds (UK)

DITS – University of Rome (I)

CDV (CZ)

Supported by a Focus Group

and the TRKC Support Network

Gabriele Jauernig, TRKC presentation at the ERTRAC meeting, 20.02.08 in Brussels

Building on EXTR@Web

• Thematic structure and definitions with 30 themes in 4 categories

• Common European Transport Research Reporting Scheme• ERA-wide transport research programme guide• 258 European, international and national programme forms

searchable on-line on TRKC site• Structured links to some 5.600 European, national and

international projects• Almost 800 projects (600 with result summaries) searchable

on-line• 28 Thematic Research Summaries• 8 Policy Brochures

Objective

Portal for disseminating and promoting

the results of transport research conducted in the

European Research Area

3 KEY ELEMENTS

Gabriele Jauernig, TRKC presentation at the ERTRAC meeting, 20.02.08 in Brussels

1 – Information portal

– Collecting and structuring information on institutions, programmes and projects

– Making these searchable on-line in a completely revamped site

– Feeding into Compendium and analysis

Portal for providing timely access to information on EU, national, and

international transport research activities and their results

Focus will be on EU financed research:FP6, first FP7 projects, wrap up of FP5

Gabriele Jauernig, TRKC presentation at the ERTRAC meeting, 20.02.08 in Brussels

2 – Aggregate analysis

The consortium provides focused analysis of transport research results against the thematic

structure and emerging policy priorities

– Analysing results on project basis as « technical and policy implications »

– Aggregating project level analysis according to different topics (transport research themes, policy priorities)

– Producing « Thematic Research Summaries » and « Policy Brochures »

Gabriele Jauernig, TRKC presentation at the ERTRAC meeting, 20.02.08 in Brussels

3 – Application of research results

• Ultimate aim was to accelerate the practical implementation of transport innovations through the structured knowledge accumulated in the TRKC through targeted pilot cases

• Requirements’ analysis has pointed to the need for a « meta link » facility

Gabriele Jauernig, TRKC presentation at the ERTRAC meeting, 20.02.08 in Brussels

2 best practice cases

• Target group “education & training institutions”: speed up the transfer of research results into higher education & training programmes

– Mini roadmap with analysis of this target group’s needs

• A case study of transfer of research results into policy formulation

– CityMobil

TRKC outputs in summary

• Revamped site with new functionalities• Almost 10.000 projects searchable, out of which

1.200 with results• 40 new programme forms on-line• Up-dated Programme Compendium • Thematic Research Summaries• Policy Brochures • Mini roadmap for future widespread knowledge

application in education and training

How can ERTRAC support TRKC ?

• Cross web links from ERTRAC and ERTRAC members’ sites

• Submission of transport research project forms and results to the TRKC

• Giving access to research project databases for the TRKC « meta-link » facility

• Promote TRKC at ERTRAC events
