Transport Studies Unit 

Welcome The Transport Studies Unit (TSU) is a research centre at the heart of the (OUCE) at the University of Oxford The Transport Studies Unit has an ... established international reputation in the fields of sustainable transport, transport policy analysis, transport economics, transport and the environment, and transport and land use planning. The Unit's mission is to promote excellence in transport research and teaching. Particular emphasis is placed on understanding the social, economic, behavioural and environmental implications of transport over both time and space. The Unit's work ranges in geographic scale from the local to the global whilst the full spectrum of quantitative and qualitative research techniques is deployed. Recent research sponsors include the Rees Jeffreys Fund, the Department for Transport, the Economic and Social Research Council and the European Commission. Forthcoming Seminars The Trinity Term seminar series have now finished. Information on Michaelmas Term   [More...] [Less...]

Virginia Tech Trasnportation Institute 

Welcome to VTTI The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI) continues to serve as Virginia Tech's largest university-level research center and is ... dedicated to conducting research to save lives, save time and save money in the transportation field by developing and using state-of-the-art tools, techniques, and technologies to solve transportation challenges.

Transportation Research Group 

Since the early 1980s, researchers in the Transport Research Group have been investigating the dynamics of heavy goods vehicles and their road-damaging ... characteristics. The group is unusual in its cross-disciplinary approach, investigating projects spanning areas from heavy vehicle dynamics, safety and suspension design; to weigh-in-motion, vehicle-road interaction, and the failure mechanisms of asphalt pavements and paving materials. Vehicle-Road Interaction Early work initially concentrated on the influence of dynamic tyre forces generated by heavy goods vehicles on road damage and bridge vibration. Research was performed to understand the mechanisms by which lorries generate dynamic tyre forces as they travel along roads, and how road surfaces and bridges respond to these applied forces. Sophisticated mathematical models of vehicle dynamics and road and bridge response to moving random wheel loads were developed. These were validated using field measurements with instrumented lorr   [More...] [Less...]

New developments were presented by over twenty leading experts at the one-day event in the Pickaquoy Centre on Monday 3rd September 2007. The initiative was brought together by Prof. Alfred Baird of Napier University’s Transport Research Institute (TRi). It comes at a time when Orkney has to make long-term decisions about the future of its inter-island services. “One option is of course simply to replace the various existing ferries,” says Professor   [More...] [Less...]
