  1. Presentation for the EXTR@WebSubcontractor Kick-off Meeting 07 April 2003 Wolfgang Helmreich, IABGEXTR@Web WP2.2 leader (Reporting Scheme)

  2. Towards a Transport Research Knowledge Centre (TRKC) The Common European Transport Research Reporting Scheme

  3. The role of advanced reporting elementsfor transport RTD will be • To establish a reporting standard in European transport research • To structure all input for use in a comprehensive data base, which will become the backbone of the TRKC web service • To transparently and timely cover transport RTD programmes and projects by monitoring research in progress • To address information needs of various user groups through three main levels of project coverage plus programme profiles

  4. Three important project phases are covered by the following reporting elements • Project start • Project Profile (form) • Research projects in progress • Progress Summary (form); several issues would be allowed • Completed projects • Result Summary (form) • Final Report (self-standing scientific report for publication, to be prepared by project co-ordinators) • Programme Profile (form)

  5. How to use the elementsof the Reporting Scheme • Use the briefing paper, guiding papers and worked examples provided for each element, respectively, to familiarize with the forms and to get specific instructions • Decide whether you like to complete online forms (HTML) or whether you prefer MS Word forms that can be downloaded • Submit programme and project information via the TRKC website, or send completed MS Word forms to PAG@iabg.de • Update already filed information as required by project progress

  6. Consolidated results of usability testing(internal testing and feedback from seven BG/AG members) • Reporting system considered comprehensive, but concise • Required number of forms was questioned (e.g. merge Flash Report and Progress Summary) • Completing forms can (sometimes) be time-consuming • Preparation guides and worked examples considered useful • Briefing paper should be made available in (five) major EU languages to foster acceptance of the reporting scheme • Completing online forms (HTML) or using MS Word forms is favoured over inter-active PDF forms

  7. The timeline for release of the Common European Transport Research Reporting Scheme • Synthesizing results of usability testing, e.g. further feedback by BG members, until early March • Draft Reporting Scheme circulated for validation by BG members on 07/03/2003; feedback received until 21/03/2003 • Final Reporting Scheme (D2.2) completed by 24/03/2003 • Foreseen approval of D2.2 by DG TREN as of 11/04/2003 • Release of Reporting Scheme by DG TREN in mid-April 2003, then being available as a set of electronic documents • Publication of Reporting Scheme on-line version at the new TRKC website in late May 2003 (preliminary schedule)
