Our Knowledge
Rigorous data analytics, proven approaches and unrivalled market knowledge are some of the hallmarks of TRL’s work. The Academy supports innovation and refinement of our capabilities and drives continuous learning. It also plays a critical role in monitoring and managing TRL’s intellectual property as a vital repository of information in transport.
Through the Academy’s research programmes and projects we build knowledge and awareness in the transport and mobility market sectors. By understanding short, medium and long term developments across these sectors, the Academy can guide TRL’s training and recruitment policies, so we have the skills and capabilities needed to maintain our market leading position.
Every year, TRL’s Academy hosts a flagship event in London. The Academy Symposium is a showcase for areas of research that are of fundamental importance. We invite speakers from TRL to share the stage with experts from academia, industry and the public sector, to explore and debate diverse topics.
Symposium topics from recent years have included automated vehicles, data science and young driver safety.
