The Library at VTI, the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute, is a national resource for supplying and disseminating information in the field of transport research.
We offer traditional library services and also specialize in information searches, competitive intelligence and dissemination of research results. We run the transportportal.se - Swedish Transport Research Portal and develop websites and databases. Working together with international organizations, we are helping to gain exposure for Swedish transport research, and provide information about ongoing research and published results to TRID, the TRIS and ITRD database, the world’s largest bibliographic resource on transport research.
