TRA Visions
TRA VISIONS 2018 invites Young and Senior researchers from all over Europe to submit innovative transport concepts with the prizes being awarded at TRA 2018.
Ever more people and goods are moving around the world in constantly shorter timeframes. This makes innovative transport solutions an important necessity. What could future transport look like? How can existing systems and infrastructure cope with the rising strain, be it road, rail, waterborne or cross-modal transport systems? Which are efficient and sustainable solutions to the arising questions on mobility issues?
The European project TRA VISIONS 2018, supported by the European Commission, invites young and senior researchers from all over Europe to enter their ideas of all kind concerning these and other questions to the competitions. TRA VISIONS takes place every two years and awards both a prize for innovative concepts for transport solutions for young and senior researchers in European funded projects throughout Europe.
The project consortium members are the Institute for Automotive Engineering of RWTH Aachen University, Foundation WEGEMT – A European Association of Universities in Marine Technology and Related Sciences, BALance Technology Consulting GmbH, Politecnico di Torino, Newcastle University, FEHRL, Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) and University College London (UCL).
