EuroFOT: European Large-Scale Field Operational Test on Active Safety Systems

The European project “euroFOT” is developing a large scale assessment program for advanced active safety systems in cars and trucks, based on Field Operational Tests with normal drivers in ordinary traffic. The experiments will provide insight into system performance and driver behavior, as well as the socio-economic impact, particularly on road safety and traffic efficiency. This paper, after presenting the objectives of the project, outlines on-going activities and some major results for the first year. The topics include research questions, experimental design, test operation and data analysis. Coordination with parallel initiatives is also discussed for this new class of experiments.
