TRL - Creating the future of transport
    

Insight Reports


Insight Reports form TRL’s premier publication series designed to showcase TRL’s work and capabilities. Each individual report draws together TRL’s research on a particular topic, providing an extremely valuable, high level source of information that demonstrates the breadth and range of TRL’s scientific and engineering excellence.

Each month a senior TRL Scientist is invited by the TRL Academy to write an Insight report featuring their specialist topic area. The author is encouraged to prepare a report that consolidates the experience gained over many projects to distil and illustrate the key concepts of that topic or demonstrate innovative thinking in an emerging area.

The topics covered are intended to be wide-ranging, embracing many aspects of transport research.
