Transport Research Group (TRG)
Transport Research Group is a national strongpoint for transport research and includes 20 researchers. The group includes researchers from both Molde University College and the research institute Møreforsking.
Research areas
Transport policy and appraisal
Members of the group do extensive research within cost-benefit analysis, public transport and funding and purchase of transport services.
Transport flow modelling
For several decades TRG has had a central role in the development of the transport models for personal travels used in Norway. The models are also frequently applied and tested in different projects.
Freight and logistics
Members of the group do research within both intermodal transport and efficiency studies of ports.
