Support for information searches

Would you like support and guidance in finding literature and information? Maybe you are looking for statistics or you are preparing a literature review? Whether you have a big or small question, you can turn to us.

Questions

If you have a question about traffic, transport and infrastructure, we are always here to provide you with an answer. We may recommend reports and websites to you, or we may direct you to a government authority or researcher.

Information searches on assignment

Literature review, knowledge compilation, scoping review – if you want to do any of that, you need a well-executed information search as a basis. We can search for all kinds of information.

Our sources are bibliographic and project databases specialised in the field of transport and the major interdisciplinary bibliographic databases. To provide a more complete answer to your questions, we may also search for ongoing research projects, relevant organisations, and research groups.
