The Transportation Research Board (TRB) Conduct of Research Committee serves to increase the quality and effectiveness of transportation research by supporting and facilitating improved research planning and management processes. It promotes improved coordination between those who sponsor and conduct research and those who implement research products. It assists the Transportation Research Board in its role of stimulating research and serving as a national clearinghouse for research activities.

The European Conference of Transport Research Institutes (ECTRI) is an international non-profit organization that was founded in April 2003. Its members are 20 major transport research institutes or universities from European countries. Together, they account for more than 3000 European scientific and research staff in the field of transport. ECTRI’s aim is to help build the “European Research Area” (ERA) in surface transport by cooperation in thematic and process oriented working groups, task forces, Framework Programme projects, and seminars.

Formed in 1989 as the Forum of European National Highway Research Laboratories (FEHRL) is a registered International Association with a permanent Secretariat based in Brussels governed by the Directors of each of the national institutes. It provides a coordinated structure for the interests of the thirty national research and technical centers from the member states in the European Union, the EFTA countries and the rest of Europe. FEHRL is engaged in road engineering research topics including safety, materials, environmental issues, telematics and economic evaluation. Research capacity is provided by the national institutes and makes use of the wide range of test facilities available to them.

The FEHRL Forever Open Road brings together innovative technologies and concepts, and by harvesting knowledge and expertise from across Europe and the U.S. The Forever Open Road will be adaptable, automated and climate change resilient resulting in a new generation road that will transform the way roads are built, designed, maintained and operated.
