The Electronic BASt Archive (ELBA) is a service offered by the German Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt). Within the terms of Open Access, scientific Federal Highway Research Institute documents and the results of its supervised research will be published as far as possible. The principle of open access to the results of the research is thus supported.

In addition, ELBA serves as a repository for publications authored by BASt staff. Most of these publications are not accessible in electronic form but are available at the BASt library.
