VTI is an interdisciplinary research institute. The institute has a broad competence profile and carries out applied research and development in relation to all modes of transportation.
We present our work in ten research areas. Each research area includes contact details to the research director in charge. The areas have a number of fields of interests where you also will find contact details.
