The euroFOT project conducted large-scale field tests of intelligent vehicle systems with ordinary drivers on public roads to investigate driver behavior, system performance, and impacts on safety, efficiency and the environment. Multiple vehicle fleets across Europe collected extensive real-world driving data using harmonized methods. The results from analyzing over 18.5 million kilometers of driving data aim to improve intelligent vehicles and inform decisions about deploying these systems.
The document outlines the timeline and process for establishing an Integrated Incident Management Centre (IIMC) in Cape Town:
- The idea for the IIMC was proposed in 2004, with approval from Council in May 2008 and a professional team appointed in June 2008 to begin preliminary design.
- Construction began in December 2008 and was completed in May 2010, within an 11-month period. The IIMC became fully operational in time for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
- The IIMC brings together various transport operations and law enforcement agencies in Cape Town to facilitate coordinated management of traffic incidents and emergencies.
The euroFOT project aims to perform large-scale field operational tests of intelligent vehicle systems with ordinary drivers on public roads. It will investigate the performance, driver behavior, user acceptance, and impacts on safety, efficiency, and the environment of several advanced driver assistance systems. The euroFOT consortium involves 28 partners from across Europe conducting tests with over 150 commercial vehicles and 690 passenger cars, collecting over 18.5 million kilometers of real-world driving data. Key systems under investigation include forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning.

The system has been implemented for the German1 fleet and piloting is nearly complete. Ramp-up for the field test is scheduled to begin in mid-June.
1) ICT standards developed by global open standards organizations are important for innovation in Europe but are currently outside the scope of the European standardization framework.
2) Reforming the Council Decision 87/95/EEC is proposed to provide a process for using these global ICT standards in EU policies and public procurement.
3) A concept for modernizing the European ICT standardization policy was developed with stakeholder input and is ready for implementation through a revised Council Decision, decoupled from the revision of Directive 89/34.
The document discusses data acquisition for the German1 vehicle management center (VMC) in the euroFOT project.

This document summarizes the constraints and trade-offs involved in testing hypotheses about in-vehicle systems as part of the euroFOT project. It discusses how hypotheses require a measurable system, performance indicator, and relationship between the two. However, testing hypotheses is challenging due to issues like different OEM implementations of systems, combinations of multiple systems operating simultaneously, defining an appropriate baseline for comparison, and ensuring statistical significance of results while accounting for confounding factors.

Planning of a field operational test on navigation systems: Implementation an...euroFOT
The document summarizes two pre-studies conducted to help plan a field operational test comparing navigation systems. Study 1 was a questionnaire of 147 drivers that found owners of navigation systems drove more and were more likely to take unfamiliar routes. Study 2 tested data collection and analysis algorithms by having 10 drivers complete routes with and without navigation, finding the algorithms could detect differences but needed improvement to reduce errors. The pre-studies aimed to inform sample selection and analysis methods for the larger field operational test.
The euroFOT project involves field testing of intelligent vehicle systems with over 150 trucks and 690 cars driven by ordinary drivers on real roads across Europe. It aims to evaluate the performance, driver behavior, and user acceptance of systems like adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning to understand their impacts on safety, efficiency, and the environment. The project collects over 18.5 million km of real-world driving data using specialized data acquisition systems. This large-scale, coordinated testing approach provides insights not possible from smaller, individual tests.
The euroFOT project aims to test eight in-vehicle safety systems through field operational tests involving over 1500 drivers. To rigorously and practically evaluate the systems' impacts on safety, efficiency, and the environment, the project developed a methodology balancing experimental methods and real-world testing. This involved defining performance indicators, events, and situational variables for consistent analysis, as well as an experimental design addressing participant selection, study environments, and system exposure conditions. The methodology framework ensures comparable evaluations while allowing flexibility tailored to each field test.
The euroFOT project aimed to test intelligent vehicle systems with ordinary drivers on public roads. It involved testing advanced driver assistance systems like adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning on over 800 vehicles across Europe. The project sought to evaluate the real-world performance and impacts of these systems, including on safety, efficiency and driver acceptance, to help improve the technologies and inform their deployment. It established common methodologies and definitions for conducting large-scale field tests of intelligent vehicles.

Step-wise preparation
Validation of the complete data chain
• Testing in lab environement by DAS and Data analysis experts
• Data quality is checked vs. Performance Indicators requs
Piloting for data collection and transmition
• DAS are integrated into the vehicles for extensive testing
• Technical procedures are refined (DAS installation, etc...)
FOT ramping up and FOT deployment
• Check if all organisational aspects are settled
• Plan vehicle delivery schedule vs resources available
• Vehicle status is monitored daily

Lessons learned
Follow and exploit FESTA handbook especially its Implementation plan
(Annex)
Distribute early the responsibilities (marketing, maintenance, etc..)
Enforce harmonisation of data loggers and data formats
When selecting vehicles and drivers: Be carefull of creating biased
experiments or at least document them to take them into account in data
analysis
Do not underestimate the piloting time
Plan on vehicle and installation delays
Expect driver drop outs and plan to interact with them
Be carefull of bad publicity – clear information is key
Do not understimate the importance of the incentives, take care of all of
its aspects during the planning
Legal and ethical issues should be investigated and settled before the
driver and vehicle recruitment starts
There is no successful driver recruitment without the full support of the
OEMs marketing department
Use a multitude of implementation of subjective data gathering (hard
copy, web-based, interviewing)
Use of professional customer care service is adviceable
