Publications : IRF Bulletin
The IRF magazine, which features information on the IRF’s current activities, its members and forthcoming events, as well as interviews from transport sector personalities.
IRF Bulletin Special Edition - Urban Mobility
Sustainable urban mobility policies and plans place the emphasis on transportation systems that are more benign in terms of their impacts on the environment. They notably promote non-motorised means (walking and cycling) and public transportation, and also aim to reduce the use of private motor vehicles. The measures implemented represent a mixture of physical changes and user information systems that are designed to reduce traffic volumes and emissions, increase accessibility, improve safety, change travel habits and provide a better quality of life for all citizens. Urban mobility measures, therefore, fundamentally involve changing behaviour.

IRF Bulletin Special Edition : Asia & Oceania
There is no region of the world where disparities of infrastructure
development and wealth distribution are as evident as in the Asia and
Pacific region. From the hyper technological metropolis to remote and
inaccessible villages, this vast region is a real challenge for
transport planners and operators and certainly requires innovative and
imaginative thinking.
IRF Bulletin Special Edition : Africa
The African continent is recently focusing on rehabilitation of Road Networks, as it is the most significant challenge confronting Africa. Road transport is the dominant mode in Africa, and it has been recognised internationally that roads deserve more attention.
IRF Bulletin Special Edition: Intelligent Transport Systems
Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) is the application of technology to the management of surface transportation systems in order to increase their efficiency and safety, whilst providing travellers with mobility options based on real-time information. Relatively small investments in ITS can produce significant savings in total system costs.
IRF Bulletin Special Edition: Public Private Partnership
The procedures used to procure PPP schemes are complex. Too many road agencies are introducing them without adequate preparation. How do you avoid pitfalls?
IRF Bulletin Special Edition: Road Safety
In the first edition - on the environment - we examined the degree to which current levels of mobility are sustainable, however vital they may be for the world economy in general and isolated communities in particular. The same principles apply to our choice of subject for this special edition: road safety.
IRF Bulletin Special Edition: Environment
The first IRF Bulletin devoted entirely to a single topic - the environment. Whatever image that word conjures up, for road professionals it means one thing - the search for sustainable mobility. In that search, we must stress the things taken for granted - the positive social benefits of roads, access to services and individual mobility.
