A quick reference to TRL:
  • check
    Commercial ready prototype
  • check
    Completed lab testing and ready to test in a live environment.
TRL is a method developed by NASA to estimate a technologies maturity. Need an example of how TRL works? Let us take you through.

Imagine you are designing a tyre for vehicles.
TRL 1 – Ideation
Basics principles are observed and reported
One day you’re at your lab, and you got an idea. To develop a synthetic rubber compound. You put this on a report and start investigating.
TRL 2 – Innovation begins
Basic principles observed so practical applications can be formulated
After investigation you concluded that the synthetic rubber can be used to create tyres that can be used for cars.
TRL 3 – Proof of concept
Analytical and laboratory studies are required to see if the technology is viable
The rubber is tested in the lab for strength to prove that it’s suitable to be made into tyres.
TRL 4 – Component test
Laboratory testing of the prototype component
You begin a sample of rubber to test in your lab durability if used as tyre.
TRL 5 – Prototype construction
Laboratory testing of the integrated system
You have created a prototype rubber on a wheel, close to a real tyre.
TRL 6 – Alpha testing
Prototype system demonstrated in an operational environment
The tyre is now mounted on a wheel and tested on a rolling road.
TRL 7 – Beta testing
Completed design tested in real environment
The tyre is now assembled into a real vehicle and be tested on a real road.
TRL 8 – Certification
Proven to work under its expected conditions and certified to be used
The tyre is now certified safe to be used on the road.
TRL 9 – System proven to successfully function
Ready for commercial deployment
The tyre has now been tested through a life cycle to ensure it is safe for use.
