Supplementary information
Integrated Transport Research Lab (ITRL) is a multidisciplinary and multi-stakeholder arena that assembles experts in (i) novel technical transport solutions with high impact/potential; (ii) todays transport system areas to improve and (iii) implementation barriers and mechanisms.
ITRLs vision is a society in the near future or not too far away in which the transport sector is an active player in reaching the goals of social, economic and environmental sustainability.
ITRLs contribution towards reaching this vision is through long-term multidisciplinary research cooperation to tackle the global environmental transport challenges by means of radically new and holistic technical solutions. Our approach is that seamless transport services, infrastructure, novel vehicle concepts, business models and policies, all need to be tuned and optimised in chorus.
ITRL is organised as a research centre at KTH and is hosted by the ITM school. Main partners is KTH, Scania and Ericsson who also fund the centre. KTH funding is coming from KTH Transport Platform as well as several schools at KTH.
Below follows a list of activities that the ITRL centre do:
- ITRL Research projects and demonstrators
- ITRL Labs
- ITRL Innovation Hub
- ITRL Student Experience
Where ITRL Student Experience is initiatives to involve both under-graduate and graduate students in research activities at the centre. One initiative in the ITRL Student Experience is this PhD course.
