Transport Dimensions

Priorities of project coverage Every project within the TRKC will be listed with a

web link and/or other contact details

For every project the most relevant themes out of 26 will be identified

For a selected number of projects the Reporting Scheme will be applied (project profile, progress summary, result summary) and the final report will be made available

Out of the selected number of projects above, the most important ones will be chosen for analysis at three levels

Priority 3

Priority 1

Priority 2

Benefits of analysis for the TRKC user

Project level

Theme level

Policy level

Brief and concise analysis of the key findings of a project in relation to the « policy objectives » and / or « tools » attributed as key labels

1. Summary of key findings of all projects contributing to a theme, taking into account the policy context Three Annual Thematic Research Summaries

2. « Do-it-yourself-analysis » unstructured list of all projects’ key findings for a given theme

Key findings of selected projects or sub-clusters of projects that contribute to a policy objective or policy priority Policy Brochures
