The document outlines a workshop on data reuse held on December 16-17, 2014 in Barcelona. The workshop consisted of presentations on projects involving data collection and reuse, including DRIVE C2X and EUDAT. Participants performed hands-on exercises to examine vehicle data from the US and Europe, identify errors, and discuss best practices for labeling and sharing data between projects to facilitate reuse. The goal was to provide guidance to the field test community on data sharing and reuse methods to enhance the FOT methodology handbook.

• Data re-use exercise:
• Find errors
• Examine the SPMD datasets (USA)
• Suggest potential use of the SPMD data
• Compare DRIVE C2X (EU) with SPMD
• Discussion
• What are the methods and tools to be used for the QA of a given dataset?

HAND-ON EXERCISE AND DISCUSSION

6. Workshop on “Data Re-use”, 16-17 December 2014, Barcelona
WP5 - FOT Methodology
Haibo Chen, Institute for Transport Studies, University of Leeds

7. www.fot-net.eu |www.fot-net.eu |
Main Goals:
• To provide the FOT community with knowledge on data usage (i.e. data
sharing / re-use) via:
– Enhancement and update of the FOT methodology
– Knowledge transfer of the FOT methodology (e.g. Webinars)
– Experiences sharing of data usage (e.g. Workshops)

WP5 – FOT METHODOLOGY
Main Tasks:
• Task 5.1: Including data usage methods in the FOT methodology and
updating the FESTA handbook
• Task 5.2: Organising webinars and creating e-learning materials for
newcomers
• Task 5.3: Organising hands-on workshops on data usage

8. www.fot-net.eu |www.fot-net.eu |
• Six webinars designed for participants new to FOTs or the FOT methodology
• Each webinar will target a part of the FOT-methodology:
• e-learning modules will be created from the webinars for self-study
