Training and Research

Transport is an extremely complex issue which requires in-depth knowledge to adequately manage transport systems and design sustainable policies. Additionally, fast changing demands, progress in research and rapid innovations in transport systems require a constant update of the knowledge amongst decision makers, administrators and staff in the public and private sector. Since often expert or technical knowledge is not broad enough, an interdisciplinary approach is needed in order to achieve sustainability.


TCP International provides demand responsive training and conducts interdisciplinary research in all of our nine fields of competence.


Training is provided for high ranking decision makers as well as for administrators and staff according to your need. It ranges from theoretical and methodological subjects to hands-on practical instructions and technical solutions, such as specialised software. Our interdisciplinary expertise and pedagogic background allows us to cover a wide range of subjects:

  • training-needs-analysis;

  • development of curricula and lectures at universities and other higher training institutes;

  • design of training courses and training material;

  • organising and conducting training measures, workshops, seminars, technical conferences, e-learning courses and others;

  • speaker on technical conferences and seminars;

  • lecturing, coaching, mentoring and on-the-job-training;

  • training documentation and training evaluation;
