交通建設為國家基礎建設之要項，對國家未來整體發展具顯要性之影響，吾人有必要深入瞭解我國交通運輸相關領域方向與發展。本文主要係透過分析各大專院校所設立之運輸相關系所發展概況，以及歸納近年有關研究領域之導向，以瞭解目前學術單位之發展。接著經由彙整中華民國運輸學會有關學術論文研討會近四年投稿情形，歸納國內主要之研究方向。藉由上述二面向之數據分析，期能歸納運輸學界研究方向與未來發展以供後續研究之參考。分析結果顯示，約有三成以上的大專院校設有運輸相關系所，其中以行銷與流通管理相關系所為最；各校近年研究成果顯示，研究主題以旅客運輸相關研究為最多，其次為物流管理；最後由研討會投稿情形歸納，近四年以航空運輸、物流、安全與永續相關議題為主要研究趨勢。未來運輸領域之發展趨勢除既有議題之深入研究外，更期能進一步與國際接軌，吸收各國成功案例與研究成果，以作為後續研究之重要參考，並對我國運輸系統有實質之助益。

Transportation plays an important role in national infrastructures and constructions. It also greatly affects the economic development of a nation. This study intends to assess the research trend and future development of transportation in Taiwan. Two perspectives are selected: first is to focus on the analysis for the transportation related academic institutes; second is to conclude the topics in related research fields. Results show an important point that the transportation related institutes have been established in one third of all colleges in Taiwan. Marketing and logistic management represents the majority of these higher educational institutes. The results also show that the research topics are mainly on air transportation, logistics, safety and sustainable transportation. Besides, international subjects and case discussions also play a notable role for these transportation topics now and for the future.
