TRA2024 Early Bird Conference Rates End 29th January 2024

In 2024, Transport Research Arena (TRA) takes place in Dublin, Ireland from Monday 15 to Thursday 18 of April. Transport Research Arena (TRA) is the foremost European transport event that covers all transport modes and all aspects of mobility.

Transport Research Arena (TRA) offers a great venue for researchers, policy makers and industry representatives to get together and contribute to the discussion on how research and innovation can reshape the transport and mobility system. The conference provides a unique opportunity to hear about mobility trends in different parts of Europe, learn from achievements in industry as well as share best practices of policies and deployments.

TRA 2024 Programme Overview

Each day TRA will have a high-level Plenary session featuring government, political, industry, and academic leaders at the forefront of their fields. The topics for discussion for each Plenary will reflect the theme of the day. The format will support the speakers in sharing their insight and expertise with the majority of the TRA2024 conference attendees. The list of confirmed speaker’s increases week on week so please visit the speakers page to view the current list and check in regularly, as we continue to add additional names.

The plenary sessions will be supported by a number of strategic sessions addressing specific issues of critical importance. A full description of these sessions is now available below. TRA have identified 13 high quality speaker line-ups and will be announcing these over the coming weeks.

A new initiative for this year’s TRA is that we will have a number of host round table sessions that address key topics such as governance, the environment and innovation.

Over the four days of the conference we will deliver over 100 scientific and technical sessions. We have had an excellent response to our call for papers and these sessions will showcase the current state of the art in transport and mobility research. The design of the sessions will follow the 16 conference sub-themes and the timing of these will be distributed over the course of the week. We are also designing a high-quality poster presentation venue and each presenter will be allocated a specific presentation time. This venue will be located at the entrance to the plenary hall and will ensure high visibility for all poster presenters.

The TRA conference will also feature a number of special sessions that address topics of particular interest to the transport research community. These sessions will be designed by key stakeholders and will offer current research projects the opportunity to address topics that may not be covered in the programme.

As with other TRAs, the heart of the conference is the exhibition hall and this will allow sponsoring companies, researchers associations, etc to engage with the conference delegates. The exhibition area will also include a stage to promote engagement, as well as an innovation zone where the latest research will be demonstrated.

In addition to the above, the conference will also feature a large number of side events, such as the EU Road Safety Conference. There will also be a large outdoor demonstration area and several technical tours organised.
