to disseminate the results of the two-year project's activities. In the presence of European road research stakeholders, the conference will present the results of the joint safety operations, as well as the final guidelines. These will serve as a useful tool for road auditors and tunnel inspectors, as well as infrastructure managers and experts.
The following project events are also planned after the summer so save the date now:

Apply now to TRA VISIONS 2018 young and senior researcher competitions!
Young researchers competition
TRA VISIONS 2018 invites young researchers from all over Europe to submit innovative transport concepts to
www.travisions.eu.
The deadline for a first short abstract is
30th June 2017. Following this, participants are requested to develop and submit their full idea by
30th October 2017 where they need to provide a report, a short presentation and a project poster accompanied by an optional short video.
Projects may cover design, construction, research or operations of new and innovative Transport concepts and products. The participants should engage in further research and use their creativity, knowledge and personal effort to produce an innovative concept idea. The top three ideas per transport mode will be selected and the final winners of the competition announced during a prestigious award ceremony at the
Transport Research Arena (TRA) Conference 2018 in Vienna, Austria on 16-19th April 2018. The winners will also receive monetary prizes sponsored by the industry.
Senior researcher competition
Are you a transport innovator? Have you carried out highly impactful research funded by the EU? If so then you could be eligible for the TRA VISIONS 2018 Senior researcher Competition. This competition recognises and celebrates leading researchers who were or have recently been contributing to surface transport EU-funded projects (FP7 or H2020). Successful candidates will have to demonstrate excellence and prove impacts in their field of research.
This competition will provide a platform to further disseminate knowledge and results from research projects in surface transport, promoting future synergies and the further development of innovative ideas in line with the strategic objectives of the TRA stakeholders.Participants will be asked to submit a paper by September 2017.
