Collaborations

ITRL – Integrated Transport Research Lab
ITRL is KTH’s research lab for the transition to sustainable transport. Bringing together academia, industry, public authorities and civil society, it works on automation and AI, electrification and digitalisation, using its research vehicles and testbeds for both technology and policy experiments. Marinarium was conceived in collaboration with ITRL.
