Katrin Lättman awarded prize at young researcher competition, TRA VISIONS 2018
The EU-funded competition TRA VISIONS 2018 has just awarded prizes to its young researcher winners at the end of the Opening Ceremony on Monday 16th April (12-12:30pm) of the 2018 Transport Research Arena (TRA 2018). Young researchers from all over Europe submitted innovative concepts in order to enhance smart, sustainable and integrated transport and mobility of people and goods. Mistra SAMS researcher Katrin Lättman came in second place in the cross-modal transport sector.
The main activity of TRA VISIONS 2018, a project funded by the European Commission (EC), is the development and implementation of two competitions. One is directed towards young researchers and the second towards senior researchers involved in EU projects. They take place every two years together with the TRA, the most important European conference on transport.
Overall, 169 young researchers from 56 different European universities participated in the TRA VISIONS 2018 Student Competition and submitted 122 ideas for the transport modes road, rail, waterborne and cross-modal
In the cross-modality sector, the winners were Tomas Ambra and his team from Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Potential of supply chain collaboration in Brussels: up-scaling performance of demonstration case), Katrin Lättman from Karlstad University (Capturing the human dimension of accessibility in transport) and Alfons Julian Bock from RWTH Aachen University (Intersection Dataset from UAV Video Data for Automated Driving).
