Title: THE INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT RESEARCH DOCUMENTATION (ITRD)
Abstract: The Road Transport and Intermodal Linkages Research (RTR) Programme of the OECD has administered a bibliographic transport research database for almost 30 years. The International Transport Research Documentation - ITRD - contains more than 300,000 bibliographical references on transport research literature in OECD and non-OECD countries. Each record contains an informative abstract, from the world's published literature on transport (reports, books, journal articles, conference proceedings). About 10,000 references are added each year. There are 4 official languages represented in the database, English, French, German and Spanish, and each record is available in one these languages. ITRD records encompass the following fields related to road and intermodal transport: road safety; traffic, transport vehicles; intermodal transport; highway financing and administration; transport economics and policy; construction of pavements, bridges, and tunnels; design of roads and related structures; drainage of soils; earthworks; materials; road maintenance; soils and rock mechanics. ITRD also includes summaries of on-going research in participating countries via the Transport in Progress (TRlP) product. Today, 26 research institutes from 19 of the 30 OECD Member countries participate in ITRD and contribute to the database. Four institutes from non-OECD countries are also active members of ITRD. The ITRD database therefore reflects the transport research literature of 23 countries. It also includes abstracts of transport literature published by other organisations/associations such as the Transportation Research Board (TRB), the European Conference of Ministers of Transport (ECMT) and the World Road Association (PI ARC).
