This is an abstract only. The definitive version of the work is published in the South African Journal of Industrial Engineering, Vol 26(1), pp 86-101.The management of research and development (R&D) in the transport infrastructure field is complex due to the multidisciplinary nature of the work. The literature shows that linear R&D models that progress from idea through to consumer product are not suitable for the management of such multi-disciplinary projects. This study focuses on determining the key characteristics required for a systems-based approach to the management of R&D projects. The information and data was compiled from literature reviews, interviews, and an e-mail survey with responses from 42 significant international R&D programmes. The findings confirmed the need for a systems-based approach to R&D management. The study formulated twelve principles or tenets for a new, systems-based approach.enTransport infrastructureSystems-based researchTransport engineeringSouth African Journal of Industrial EngineeringResearch managementTechnology managementArticleRust, F.
