Abstract: Given a crossed module of groupoids $NightarrowG$, we construct (1) a natural homomorphism from the product groupoid $mathbbZimes(NtimesG)ightrightarrowsN$ to the crossed product groupoid $NtimesGightrightarrowsN$ and (2) a transgression map from the singular cohomology $$ of the nerve of the groupoid $G$ to the singular cohomology $$ of the nerve of the crossed product groupoid $NtimesG$. The latter turns out to be identical to the transgression map obtained by Tu--Xu in their study of equivariant $K$-theory.
