Transport Research Laboratory
- Transport Research Laboratory
Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) is a British centre for transport research, providing consultancy, advice and solutions for a wide range of transport related issues. Originally established in 1933 by the UK Government as the Road Research Laboratory (RRL), it was privatised in 1996.
TRL is commercially independent and is based in Crowthorne, Berkshire but also has offices in Scotland and Wales. To maintain its impartiality, TRL is owned by the Transport Research Foundation (TRF), a non-profit distributing foundation overseen by 80 sector members from the transport industry. Profits from TRL are invested in its own research programmes selected by the TRF to enhance knowledge in critical areas such as safety, environmental impact and sustainable development.
Key areas of work include road, network and vehicle safety, traffic management, planning and control, investigations and risk management, transport infrastructure, environmental assessment including work on climate change, noise and air pollution. In addition TRL has worked in developing countries for almost half a century, and acted as a resource centre for DFID providing learning materials for students, academics and engineers.
