It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.

Genesis
The
Transportation Research & Injury Prevention Programme (TRIPP) at
the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IITD) began life in 1997 when
it was discovered that many faculty members in different departments of
IITD were working separately on transportation related issues in their
individual capacities. Their strength was their expertise and
commitment. Their weakness: absence of synergy among them and
insufficient impact of their work on the society around them. We
combined our resources to develop a concept paper for the establishment
of TRIPP and circulated it to national and international researchers,
senior government officials, industry executives and international and
non-government officials and organisations. Their comments were
consolidated into a vision document and it was used to raise endowment
and infrastructure funds from the Government of India, industry and
other sources. With the seed money in place, TRIPP was established as an
Interdisciplinary Programme of IITD at 1997.
Vision
The
shared vision of researchers at TRIPP is to produce knowledge that
addresses the unique transportation issues in less motorised countries.
An effort to set up a system of research activities that respond
dynamically to problems defined in localised contexts by including a
heterogeneous set of practitioners integrating international concerns in
an internally consistent format. The idea is to experiment with new
forms of knowledge generation where there is a continuous negotiation
between disciplines on the one hand and between scientists and society
on the other.
Mission
The
objective of TRIPP is to reduce the adverse health effects of transport
by integrating mobility, safety and environmental concerns specific to
India in particular, and other less motorised countries in general.
Progress
The
establishment of TRIPP has facilitated the interaction among faculty
members from different departments in IITD and with professionals from
outside IITD (Indian Statistical Institute Delhi, Sanchal Hazard Centre
Delhi, St. Stephen’s Hospital Delhi, All India Institute of Medical
Sciences Delhi, Institute of Democracy and Sustainability Delhi) to work
on complex interdisciplinary problems associated with urban transport.
The group is unique because it combines expertise in transportation
planning, road safety, computer sciences, biomechanics, epidemiology,
medicine, social sciences, applied mechanics, chemical engineering,
civil engineering, electrical engineering, mathematics, mechanical
engineering, biomedical engineering and econometrics for work on safety
and transportation issues. TRIPP is a WHO Collaborating Centre for
injury control and safety promotion since 1997. TRIPP received Centre of
Excellence Grant from Volvo Research and Education foundations from
2003-2014 and Centre of Excellence grant from Ministry of Urban
development from 2009-2014.
